Actually, the black club badge / city crest was only done on 'special' shirts like the cup final ones (Such as '68, '77 & '78 etc.) whilst the normal week to week league shirt was unbadged for most of the 70s.

I note that the shirts are 'authentic' yet 'polyester' ... I own a shirt from that the 80s and certainly if you had a look at Graham Eccles old shirt hung in the club, the material of the shirts of that era were most certainly a heavy playing-weight cotton type material.

Bingo - I have a '71 final shirt and my mate has an extremely coveted '68 final shirt (which will be mine one day - ha ha ha). Both are manufactured from very heavyweight cotton. To make these replica shirts truly authentic they would need to be of a similar standard. But then again they probably wouldn't retail for £28 if they were.

The watersplash final replica shirt was some ridiculous price like 70 quid iirc. And that was in 2003.

Whilst I have nothing against polyester, when it actually comes to wearing them you do ....

The big old playing weight cotton shirts were designed to be worn next to the skin with no undershirt or similar on and thus, by the nature of the material, didn't rub certain sensative parts of the anatomy.

A lot of 'modern' man-made fibre shirts really need one of those base layer type vests underneath them to make them 'wearable' ....

On the other hand, you've got to say that they were really well made and also perhaps should be seen as an investment.

Consider the number of 'new' Leeds shirts that have been generated since then ... There's certainly been at least one home shirt per season and coupled with now the club going down the route of changing both kits each year.

The '68 classic Leeds shirt, the white away shirt that was available from certain sources and even these shirts won't age and won't need replacing each and every season.

Everyone still knows what team you support and furthermore, you've probably paid about a quarter to secure a classic shirt than you would have done changing the kits and buying a 'new' Leeds shirt every time the club changes it as a whim each season.

I have a couple of the '68 replica shirts (one still in it's presentation box) but the one my mate has was worn by Albert Eyre in the final - I wonder how much it would fetch on that there auction site?

I know the old man ha Syd Hynes' from the 72 cup final. Shame it isn't from the '71 final instead.

Albert is the nicest bloke anyone could meet I hope your mate didnt pressurise him get it

Gary Spencer at full tilt ? ..... oops my mistake, it's a still.

I'll have a stab at that line-up.

Top row, left to right - Wally Fullerton-Smith, Neil Hunt, Kevin Rayne, Gavin Jones???, Keith Rayne, Paul Gill, John Holmes, Eric Grothe.

Middle row, left to right - Andrew Smith, Neil Hague, Ian Wilkinson, David Creasser, Steve Bleakley???, Kevin Dick, Brendan Hill, Roy Powell, Some Gormless Looking Bloke.

Front row, left to right - Trevor Paterson, Ricky Lulham, Mark Conway, Lech Walesa, David Ward, Weekly Winner of Loiners Guild £1000 Prize Money (almost without fail), Trevor Clark, Les Dyl, Tony Currie.

Sat on their @rses at front - Kevin Squire???, Terry Webb

You've got your Rayne's mixed up, otherwise just remove the multiple question marks on the players.

The random 'gormless looking bloke' is Drew Broatch Leeds' A team coach at the time who was also a fine centre in his day.

the cotton version is more expensive, though they would be in my opinion, worth the extra cost. However, this view may not be shared by you lot. We will ask our manufacturer to work out a price for a cotton jersey and will let you know the cost difference. We have done some cotton jerseys, for example the Hull KR 64 and 83 jerseys and a Salford early 70s one.

If you are going to reproduce this shirt, and I too think this is the best one to go for, then can you note that this shirt was Blue and AMBER and not Blue and Yellow and I think that is important and that is the problem with the one you have already done.

The 'Youngers' Shirt that Gary Spencer is wearing replaced this one and that is when we lost the Amber for Yellow and the only time we went back to Amber was briefly for the 99 Millennium Jersey we wore at the CC Final.

I also think the Classic reserve white shirt of this era would be a good shout as well.

Good call re-white reverse shirt IA would love one of those.

this was the first leeds kit that was bought for me as a 9 year old it was the "aussie" style 2/3 sleeves and no collar, if you were to reproduce this one it would be very popular imo
