I’ve been after this shirt for a while for the collection but can’t find it anywhere for sale. Has anyone got a size small they want to sell or know anyone that will be willing to part with one. Thank you
It’s the adidas blue and white one by the way

You can buy the replica of this (absolutely beautiful) shirt in the club shop. When I went in before the Brentford game the retro shirts were all discounted too.

It's a great shirt I think they were £25 but I don't think I saw the green and black one which is another great shirt.

A nice looking shirt if it wasn't for the word "Endsleigh" on the chest.

My favourite Burnley shirt was issued under Barry Kilby if my memory serves me right.

I bought/have a couple of them they ware roll neck all Claret with sky blue short sleeves and no sponsors name on the front or back of the shirt.

This one:

We did add the club website as ‘sponsor’ for the latter part of the season.

Mine has the emblem " Super League" opposite the club badge.

The green and black is banned! We lost loads, wearing that!

It was significant at the time. The team stopped wearing it, as it was deemed 'unlucky'.

In those days, I used to go away mostly. Had the scarf. Saw it the other day, when sorting. Not worn after a very short time!

And then we lent it to another club (I forget who) due to a kit clash and promptly beat them!

I know it was a jinx and I'm not saying we should play in green and black at all, but it is a very nice shirt. :geek:

Wasn't the 96/97 away kit the yellow Adidas one in the Waddle season? I've just sold that very yellow shirt to someone on Vinted and said it was that season (unless I'm getting confused).

Waddle season was 97/98 with the yellow Adidas kit.

Ah yes, you are right. 96/97 was Heath. And the away kit that season was a belter!

I think the yellow one was 1997 yes
It’s the blue and white striped one I’m after. I remember as a kid seeing one of my dads programmes and we wore it to play Liverpool in the FA Cup

This one is labelled up as 97/98 but it's a large:

My first ever burnley shirt. I know we were crap at the time but the kits and training gear were smart being sponsored by Adidas

RVClaret, are you still looking for this shirt? I have one in size Medium in pretty good condition. If you want it, I will bring it with me to the Wolves match on Tuesday 2nd April. I am likely to be late getting there due to my son working in Leeds centre until 6 pm. I can meet you after the match to hand it over to you. Probably a quiet place to avoid the mass of people leaving the ground might be between the Park View and the chippy behind it.

Let me know what you think by replying in this thread.

Just to confirm, is it the shirt shown in the Retro Shirts link in Selby Claret's post immediately after your original post in this thread?
