Have a guess....
The guy that I go to games with told me on Saturday, that he'd been into the club shop and they were running a survey on which Retro Kit we should use for next season.

There were 3 choices apparently. I can't remember them all, but I think one of them was the 68-69 (?) striped version.

Anyone else heard similar??
 
I saw that when I was in the club shop last weekend. The striped kit was one, there was an earlier (mostly white, 1960 I think) kit, and then '78-'80 which I voted for. It was way out in front actually.
 
What does the 78-80 one look like?

Sounds like it's a bit of a narrow choice, mind. None of the blue and yellow numbers an option?
 
If 68-69 shirt can we have a Billy Best type forward to wear it on the pitch, would certainly bang in the goals & have none of that fake diving or throwing them selves on the ground as if been hit by a missile

UTS
 
76-78 remains my all-time favourite shirt. Gave rise to the rather tortured "David Smith's (Red) Blue and White Army". I also had a fantastic mainly white scarf with narrow red and blue bars.

I still like the rarely worn Telewest white shirt though which ticked the blue and yellow boxes too (anyone know where away kit pics can be found?).
 
That 78 shirt was a favourite of mine. However, to suddenly incorporate red back into the strip seems pointless for the sake of a one-off season.
For that reason I would go with the navy stripes with white sleeves. Fuzzy memories of being six on the old South Bank with my dad and ...The King. Billy Best.
 
1978 please , year I was born ! Never normally buy a shirt, I would then !
 
This retro shirt has got nothing to do with what the players are wearing next season,the woman in the shop said it's just for a retro shirt for sale to fans which is why they want to know which would probably sell better!:facepalm:
