Been checking out that popular auction website lately, and been amazed at how much old shirts go for now. E.g. the Matchwinner shirts which were probably only fetching a quid or 2 on car boots ten years ago now often go for between £20-£40!

Also noticed (to give them their dues), a Hull one from about '91 go for approx £65.



Just find it astonishing the turnaround around the last few years, especially when it doesn't seem long ago that you'd see hardly any Rovers shirts around Hull except a few on matchdays, and think the club deserve a lot of credit for the surge in popularity of Rovers in general.





Am also happy personally as I finally managed to get a retro Matchwinner shirt off there.

I want an original retro shirt desperately. However im not the biggest lad and all the ones on that said site seem to be L and upwards! Its a bitter pill to swallow!!

Ah right, nightmare.

Do get smaller sizes on there occassionally though so worth keeping regular look out.

This applies to all the clubs in Hull, but old shirts are often over inflated in cost due to the fact the new fans want to pretend that they went way back when.

Fair point but reckon plenty of long-term fans like them too e.g. for nostalgia.

This is the case with me, the one I bought was from approx the same time I started going.

Fair enough!
I know a city fan bought about 20 shirts off ebay, cost him about £250!

I have the tiger print bonus shirt, but i want an adidas rovers shirt desperately.

Just have to keep searching that popular auction website then bud.

i have a small rovers shirt made by matchwinner with riding bitter on the front its in excellent cond let me know if your intrested

The things people will pay to get their fires started quickly these days!!!

What the photos didn't show and what the winning bidder wasn't told was that the back is printed with 'I love Paul Eastwood'.

thats why no-ones got an old shirt...they NEVER went when they were crap

Still got my original 1980, 81 and 86 cup final shirts, all original adidas!!
Beat that





Will try and post photos later

Oldest shirt I have is my first one.
The ones wastewise one that Stanley is always pictured in when he first signed.

Still got that one too, classic!

Got mine autographed back then on the back by Stanley, Jamie Kennedy and Daniel Brown.





Matchwinner shirt arrived today, still think they're ace despite the criticism some fans give some of the designs.

Nathan Browns brother i believe. Kennedy was a good player. I remember someone had UP YOURS WASTEWISE printed on the front of that shirt when they pulled the plug on the sponsorship.

Yeah was quality, also thought Daniel Brown looked good in spells but maybe just not consistant enough (and God knows what happened to Keith Beauchamp?!



).

Lol, that's ace re Wastewise.

Remember also seeing a guy who'd simply coloured all the letters in in red marker.





Used to annoy me the way the shirt would be blank when released, but then they'd later add a sponsor (usually Neil Hudgell) when everyone had already bought blank ones.
