Old Shirts

[londonblue]

I've got fed up of clogging up my wardrobe with old shirts. I have home shirts (and one away) in L all the way back to the Crevette Clothing Co. one. There's 15 shirts in total. The only home one missing is the Elonex one from the Stan Collymore season. (Because I gave it to my cousin who lives in San Francisco.) The Crevette Clothing one is torn on the sleeve, but all the others are pretty much fine.

Does anyone want them? If they do, they can collect them either before or after tomorrow's match. I park in the East Stand car park so you can meet me there and take them off my hands.

Any money you offer i'll give to charity, although I can't imagine they'd raise all the much!

I personally would put them in a box and stick them in the loft.....you might regret in a few years time.....all my old shirts from the 90's remind me of a few great memories.

I donated a load of my old shirts to some charity in Africa that was collecting football shirts from the UK. I like to think that there's a lad in a township somewhere sporting a 'Progressive Printing' shirt to quizzical looks from his mates.

Whenever I wear my orange 'Wyndham Plastics' shirt, I give myself a quizzical look.

Definitely this. I donated about 20 old shirts, including various Southend and England ones as well a rogue Man United kit I was bought when I was younger, and they definitely mean a lot to the kids who receive them.

I gave some when I was on holiday in Thailand. How I laughed - they were on the middle of an island!!1

I took a load of shirts from the Spread, plus scarfs flags etc when I went to Ethiopia in 2007 - very generous people on here! Have confidence that in Tigray there is a bunch of hardcore Southend fans.

I am planning to go back this summer for a few weeks, and would gladly take them with me. However I may be going to Mill Hill in London to visit one of the sisters to plan my visit. If not I will collect as I'll prob head to the game.

Oh if you are wondering where the photos of the kids wearing the shirts are, I wrote an article for AAS about it... I'll dig it out tonight and post it.

Better than a former children's television presenter, I suppose.

I have some kids size shirts if you want them.

And ethiopian kid in one of those garish Roycie Goalkeepers shirts would be a picture !!
