New regular feature – The Kit Cupboard

Posted by John Devlin

I’ve added a new regular feature to the site: The Kit Cupboard.

The Kit Cupboard will take a look at kits that didn’t appear in the two volumes of True Colours and will cover domestic and foreign strips, past and present. Selection will be fairly random but there will be at least 2 updates a week. Eventually they will have their own section on the site.

Take a look at the first Kit Cupboard article – http://www.truecoloursfootballkits.com/articles/the-kit-cupboard-celtic-away-kit-1996%E2%80%9398

If you have a suggestion for a kit you’d like to see in the Kit Cupboard then please let me know and I’ll do my best to include it.

    Good shouts Andrew & John. I’ve actually got a couple of Half Man Half Biscuit CDs from that era!
    John, funnily enough I have illustrated both those kits (the Admiral one just last week) and they will appear shortly.

    On a serious note how about Carlisle’s iconic away shirt from 1998, the one in Stobart’s corporate colours

    Any chance you could do some international kits John? Other than the home nations that is…particularly any from the 86 World Cup or the Holland / Russia ones from Euro 88. They’d look fantastic!

    John,

    I seem to remember Chelsea wearing a Blue/Black striped kit for the 1967 FA Cup Semi Final versus Leeds – any recollection? I’ve included it on my site for a while now.

    I watched the 67 semi at Villa Park on British Pathe news last night and Chelsea were not in striped shirts.

    Chelsea wore that kit in the 1966 FA Cup semi, which they lost to Sheffield Wednesday. As far as I know the kit was never worn again.
