tringerlatic42 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 And the joy of playing soccer in those days- the Roy of the rovers look of playing for fun- no agents, no diving no money just loves putting Latics one up
BP1960 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 A kit with real identity unlike the nondescript one we have now. If the new marketing manager thinks anything of the fans he would make sure the next kit is similar.

BP1960 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) No,but its been brought up previously and the club seems to go for standard cheap designs rather than one like this..maybe a poll on here might add strength? Edited February 5, 2015 by BP1960
Zorrro Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I don't like it. Hopefully the marketing guy takes my thoughts into consideration too.
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I don't like it. Hopefully the marketing guy takes my thoughts into consideration too. Yeah, me neither. Make it all blue, Marketing Man. With red piping.
palmer1 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Yeah, me neither. Make it all blue, Marketing Man. With red piping.Absolutely. If people are talking about identity then what's better than the kits we wore around the time the club became a household name. I love the kit from 87/88. The away kit could just be a straight switch red with blue piping. Edited February 5, 2015 by palmer1
Tommy_Fent Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 What year did we stop wearing those colours. (excluding when it was briefly revived 15 years ago)
ShireBlue Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 http://www.onevalefan.co.uk/site/2015/02/oldham-v-port-vale-1963/? Needs white sleeves in my opinion. I think Topoff was wearing (briefly) a '00 Slumberland Ajax-style shirt the other week. Now there's a football shirt.
BP1960 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) I don't like it. Hopefully the marketing guy takes my thoughts into consideration too. Fair enough, but don't you think the club needs a kit which everyone can identify with instead of copying common designs? It was actually that kit which drew me to the club as a kid back in the late 1950s, I thought the kit was different to any others (well maybe apart from Ajax's red) and I had a found team with some uniqueness. The Latics 1962 kit is mentioned here as one of the classic designs; Quote:"this remains the definitive Oldham kit". http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Articles/Classics.htm Edited February 5, 2015 by BP1960

Now there's a football shirt. The story is that Ajax got their famous stripe from this strip. Personally I like it. But I think the way kit manufacturers work these days is that they make generic ones for most teams they supply so they can keep the costs down.
Simpo Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I noticed Augsburg's away kit is like ours from the early 90s Nice that.
ShireBlue Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I noticed Augsburg's away kit is like ours from the early 90s Nice that. That's their home kit, I was at their game vs Hoffenheim on Sunday :-)
Stainrod Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I started with Latics in the seventies, Wood, Whittle, Brycleland, Bebbington, Fryatt, Heath, Shaw etc. Nothing comes close for me to the tangerine, blue and blue. You can't say many have those colours. I know it wasn't for very long but I loved it. Even bought a replica a few years ago, dreadful material in those days but could be done great now. Anyone got a colour picture from then that they can put on here so everyone can admire it.

Stainrod Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Top man BP. Now everyone, what do you think of that??? That's what you call a distinctive kit.
NewBlue Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I've got to say the full blue strip at Fleetwood away was a beauty. Then again I'd love a bit of identity once in a while. A bit of a change from the regular home kit, whether it was the Ajax style retro shirt, a full tangerine one or one with red piping and those thin pinstripes. I do find the most recent ones a bit boring.
BP1960 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Top man BP. Now everyone, what do you think of that??? That's what you call a distinctive kit. Although I do prefer the traditional kit as shown in 1962, I did like the one Ken Bates introduced, the shirt was actually called 'electric orange' and it really did glimmer during floodlit matches. I would make it the away kit as it was in 2012. Edited February 5, 2015 by BP1960
BP1960 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Two attacking full backs, two attacking central midfielders, and two fast wingers back then, mind you I think the team did concede quite a few.
NewBlue Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Thinking about it, you can fantasise about the return of a certain retro kit but it will never come near to anything that was made in the past just because of the quality of the material used to make kits now being so poor and cheap. They look tacky. Derby's kit this season is the closest to looking properly retro because its plainness makes it looks better made. We'll never have a really nice kit with Sondico, even if we had a direct replica of the red pipe pinstripe shirts, tangerine one or the Ajax style.
oafcmetty Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 Promoted - scored 88 (2nd highest in league) conceded 63 (2nd highest in top 10)
