R&D Football Shirts Wanted (Original 90’s-00’s All Sizes)

Post by Lee_RDFC »

Hi All

I'm looking to add various original 90’s-00’s Rushden & Diamonds Football Shirts (not so much AFCRD ones at this time) to my growing collection. I made some significant additions at the Legends game Sunday (which was a superb day all round I have to say) with purchases made from the retro rails at the club shop pre-match and from the auction post-match but I'm always on the lookout for more.

Pittards/Whitworths/Dr Martens Shirts in the main. Will pay decent money for the Pittards ones of course!

I tend to collect the shirts opposed to wearing them so any size would be considered but preferably M-XXL (will consider Small/Kids sizes for any old GK Shirt but even better if Adult sizes).

If anyone who didn't donate any old shirts to the club for Sunday that has any old ones for sale that they would be willing to let go either as a private sale or perhaps would donate the proceeds of your sale to the club I'd be more than interested to hear.

Fans' Replica Shirts, Match Worn Player Shirts & Goalkeeper Jerseys, in any size, all considered.

Meanwhile, having recently upgraded my 95-97 Away Shirt I do have a spare available (Size Medium) for sale or swap if anyone is interested? It's generally in good condition with a few small bobbles across the material. The main defect is that the 'CICA' logo has come off. (image attached below).

Thanks!

I've put together a list of the various kit combinations - if it's helpful for fellow collectors - I'll collate them all and update on here.

1992/93 and 93/94
Maker - Ask/Spall
Sponsor - Pittards

Away -

There is also evidence in team photos of a version of the home kit manufactured by umbro - but without a badge embroidered yet (same design as home kit)


94/95
Maker - Puma
Sponsor - Pittards

Away
Image


95/96 and 96/97
Maker - Cica
Sponsor - Whitworths

Away - 95/96

Away - 96/97

I think the 2nd season both away kits were used, with one effectively becoming a 3rd shirt - but I might be wrong

I'm pretty sure the previous seasons yellow shirt was used as a 3rd kit also to avoid clashes.

There's also a strange red and claret striped version of the away kit - a communication mix-up with Errea I believe. You'll see them occasionally - sent back because of how similar to cobblers it looked - but I believe they were kept for youth team usage.

Last season's red away became the home kit (with different sponsor)
