Totally agree re the embroidered / embossed badge debacle. The kit versions seemed to harmonise in the mid to late 90s, but now, with super technology versions for the players shirts now, it looks like we may never get equality again...unless one is prepared to fork out £100 every time!

From what I remember I pre-ordered the shirt so I received mine from the first batch supplied to Rangers so however many were supplied at the time came like this!

Yes, yes and yes! I plan on posting in greater detail at a later stage on this site, but the pronounced differences between replicas and players shirts was a grave disappointment to my young self back in the mid-90s - the badge embroidery and logos that weren't fully embossed!

The next one had a transfer style which faded eventually in the wash. The only replica badges that seemed to last were embroidered ones. Les, I remember that Holland shirt being re-released (didn't they only wear the original in Euro 88?) Rich – my first Liverpool shirt (Umbro 1980 ish) had a flock badge that peeled off bit by bit.

The Arsenal track top, I have one of those sans the cannons, bought it in Munich. That was a great design, in my opinion the West Germany home shirt is one of the finest ever used. As for the Holland shirt, adidas re-released a version in 2008 but oddly the pattern was upside down. Very odd.

Bought one recently from JJB. Still looks fantastic! Forgot to say…john b, agree that the adidas tango was a top football. Bought one recently from JJB. Still looks fantastic!

Not even embossed like the usual replicas of the time. The following years' (the fantastic hummel one) had an embossed badge, but again, many washes put paid to it. When I bought the England top from 88, I deliberately went for a Youth size, rather than small men's purely because the smaller size had a proper embroidered badge, whereas the mens one had only the embossed version.

The Rangers home shirt for 2009-10 is basically a remake of the 1989/90 shirt and the Rangers away from 1989/90 was used in 2006/07. The away shirt I have from 1989/90 shown in the Soccer Scene mag is very rare as umbro issued a batch of shirts with the sleeves stitched on the wrong way round!! The Rangers shop asked me at the time if I wanted to return it but I'm glad to say I kept it and it is shown here - http://www.oldfootballshirts.com/en/teams/r/rangers/old-rangers-football-shirt-s1777.html What goes round comes round!
