1963 great shirt and will buy if it comes out
I'm with you mate! Think it's the collar.How come the Eloneex shirt isn’t on the voting? I reckon that would win if it was.

For that indiscretion I don't think it would be too heavy handed to delete the actual poster.I feel like I should delete it for describing the double relegation monstrosity as "ever popular".
The season I saw my first games, Always been my favorite kit. As @Barry.C said, the referees often had to borrow an alternative shirt as our kit clashed with their standard black shirts. Still very unique and I'd love to see us playing in it again.The 68/ 9 shirt colour was so much darker than the current navy almost black .Would be a very unique shirt even today if allowed .If memory serves me right there were two versions one with a navy ring on white collar and cuffs as well as plain white.Still my favourite along with the Royal blue ,white and red of the 70s.
What tone of blue was the early 60s pin stripe version?

That shirt was a real classic and that team weren't bad either scoring well over 100 goals. It would always get my vote because it is my favourite ever season following the team in almost 60 years. Oh I almost forgot it was also banned by the F.A. because it clashed with the referee's kit and none of the visiting teams could see our players when we played under the floodlights even though we were wearing white shorts.The 68/ 9 shirt colour was so much darker than the current navy almost black .Would be a very unique shirt even today if allowed .If memory serves me right there were two versions one with a navy ring on white collar and cuffs as well as plain white.Still my favourite along with the Royal blue ,white and red of the 70s.

The sizes go up to 7XL. So that should be sufficient to cater for most athletes.
We played against Kings Lynn in Red Shirts with White Shorts. One of my friends has one of those red shirts which he got off Ebay a few years ago for some serious money. Over the years I have asked various players who played in that 1968-69 season if they had that dark blue shirt but sadly it would appear there was only 1 or 2 sets in those days and players were never surposed to keep them?? More's the pity really having that No.!0 shirt from the Brentwood Town match would definitely for me would be a collectors dream.Did we not play in the RED kit at home,for some reason,either against Brentwood or Kings Lynn???Those great cup games.
I always wondered what happened to all those red shirts??
Last i knew was Kevin.K had most of them
In case you haven't seen it on the Trust Twitter and Facebook pages we now have a selection of six new retro shirt options for you to all vote on.
At the end of the poll period the most popular two will be made available for sale once I've found some ex player previous wearers willing to be SUEPA models.
There are some great choices to consider so get voting now.
When Roots Hall ultimately does open for business I've got a feeling we'll be having a great retro shirt match day
