Club25Football Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hi everyone! I run a wee blog about special football shirts and covered an old Latics away top worn by Neal Eardley this week. Thought it might be interesting to the history buffs among you, so figured I'd share it; https://club25football.wordpress.com/2019/07/24/matchworn-2018-2019-oldham-athletic-away-shirt/ As I am just a casual observer of the club, rather than a fan, I'm quite keen to hear whether I made any mistakes regarding Oldham while writing! I'm also very interested in hearing your thoughts about the club's kits in general, how the current ones are, which tops were the best and the worst, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And depending who you speak ton Oldham is Lancashire not Greater Manchester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 who knew there was so much that could be written about a shirt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 It wasn't green, it was yellow. A pretty disgusting yellow at that. Look at my avatar; that's genuine Oldham. Anything since isn't. I bet @BP1960 and @LaticsPete just might agree with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club25Football Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Will put the greater Manchester/Lancashire hiccup down to me not being English - cheers for the input. 16 hours ago, singe said: The nickname we had on here was monkey sick yellow! Not half surprised to learn this - and to think it was kept for two seasons even. 15 hours ago, Bristolatic said: It wasn't green, it was yellow. A pretty disgusting yellow at that.

Dave_Og Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 So we had a blue homekit and three of the four options for the away kit were blue to greater or lesser degrees. Sounds like they'd already bought them to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
