Since that day, I am a Leeds and Admiral fan. Unfortunately, in those days, it was impossible to get an Admiral replika kit in Germany. We just had boring Addidas and Puma. So, a trip to London in 1977, made it possible to buy some Admiral replika kits. Leeds, of course, but also England, Wales and West Ham. They were like gold in my hands. I still have all of them. regards Hi,

The chevroned yoke of my beloved West Ham, The Daffadil Yellow and green stiping on the Wales shirts and shorts and based on the same template to Wales, the much disliked chocolate Coventry away strip were truely innovative! Well done Admiral, You are greatly missed! The 1970’s Admiral will go as iconic kits due to what has been informed above but also due to their ground braking kit designs.
