For those of us of a certain vintage the admiral ‘hourglass’ kit from 1975 onwards is the pinnacle of city kits.

Admiral have just done a great article on it here

Loved that kit. I remember night matches at Villa and WBA when the team wore the brown kit. The players were difficult to spot!

Bizarrely the shirt is £50 at the club shop and £40 direct from admiral.

I'm a bit out of touch ,I assume there is a website for Admiral ?

"Hourglass" ? What the hell's that ?

Call it as it was. Our classic "TRAMLINES" kit. Seems like Admiral are retconning their range for some reason.

Even our own club calls it a tramlines design, not an hourglass

Will admit, if they re-release the brown kit, I'd be straight up the club shop to get one. It's almost as iconically Coventry as Two Tone, Lady Godiva and John and George.

Interestingly, the Admiral site only sells shirts up to 2XL and for a price of £40

The Cov store offers shirts up to 3XL but for the higher price of £50

As I can fit into M or L that's fine by me.

I prefer 5XL to get it over a sweatshirt, 4XL to wear on it's own. 3XL would show the complete lack of a 6 pack and 2XL would be like a patterned corset

I tried to use their discount code but it would not work .

Only works if you haven't bought from them before. The code did work for me. Got the email with the code, copied/pasted it into the checkout and got the 10% discount. Didn't hit buy though as the club shop sell a larger shirt.

This is what I get when trying to access the video on the ITV page.

I emailed them and they asked me to use a different code.

Can’t understand why they don’t do the Brown kit ? It would sell like hot cakes

 

[Tramlines]

We had just got our first colour tv 75? so excited for MOTD that weekend, first game in colour Coventry City (wearing the tramlines) 0-0 v Liverpool IIRC, can’t find any highlights on You Tube though pretty sure it was that game, anyway favourite kit ever. Done, sad but true.

An advantage when they’re losing 7-1

It's up to £50 on the Admiral site now, they must have read this post!

Good job I bought mine at £40 quid with a 10% discount this morning.

The. Six pack is there, just a little bit hidden

 

[skybluericoh]

First football shirt I bought for myself. It did used to cause nipple chafing if I remember right though.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Anyone know where I can get the shorts from ? They’re just the best football shorts ever made. I need them !!!!

 

[wingy]

Probably wrong place, what the hell!!

Nike can F**k off with your new England shirt, leave our flag of St George alone.
