Could they remake old adidas strips and sell them like the old candy and crown paints tops? Without the sponsor.

 

Just umbro have brought out the old england tops from Mexico 86 and italia 90

 

I reckon they would sell shed loads or is there a reason why we couldnt?

Adidas have struck a deal with Crown Paints apparently. They don't even want any royalties either - just the free advertising.

adidas make a retro shirt and tracksuit top with the adidas and Candy logos on it, but no LFC logo. There's also an Arsenal knockoff from the 80s.

It was the same material but didn't have Adidas or the sponsor on it, not sure if the crest was even the same

 

 

This is correct - you can get them in the originals shop in London, and other places i should imagine.

Bob Paisley puts a gloss on Anfield's new deal', 28 May 1982.

My Webpage

 

Liverpool FC manager Bob Paisley (1919-1996) pretending to paint a seat in the stands at Anfield, Liverpool Football Club's ground, to mark the beginning of Crown Paint as the football club's shirt sponsor. Paisley was on the coaching staff at Liverpool FC during Bill Shankly's (1913-1981) reign as manager before succeeding him as manager in 1974. Paisley reign as a manager (1974-1983) was the most successful in British football history, winning 3 European cups, 6 league championships, 3 league cups and 1 UEFA cup. Crown Paints were Liverpool FC's first shirt sponsors.

 

Still think that the first time the name appeared on the shirt was in 1985 season i.e. adidas shirt

Hitachi was the first name on our shirts before crown paints...

We were't the first club with sponsorship deals.... Not sure if it was Leeds or QPR but one of them got in first

PUTTING IT ON YOUR SHIRT

"You said that Liverpool were the first British club to have a shirt sponsor (Hitachi in 1979), but while Liverpool are doubtless the first professional club to be sponsored, I'm pretty sure Kettering beat them to it by a few years. This is not a wind-up. Maybe you can confirm it?" asks Jon Cudby.

 

Having spoken to Kettering club historian Mel Hopkins, Jon, we can indeed.

 

When Wolves striker Derek Dougan retired from football in the summer of 1975, he joined Southern League club Kettering Town as chief executive. Within a month of his appointment, he had brokered a "four-figure" deal with local firm Kettering Tyres, and in a SL game against Bath City on January 24 1976, Kettering became the first British club to run out with a company's name emblazoned on their shirts.

Sadly, the groundbreaking new strip would not get another run-out. Four days later, the FA predictably ordered the club to remove the new slogan, despite Dougan's claim that the ruling body's 1972 ban on sponsorship had not been put down in writing.

Characteristically, Dougan didn't take this body blow lying down. He cheekily changed the wording on the shirts to Kettering T, which he claimed stood for Town and had nothing whatsoever to do with Tyres. For a couple of heady months, the team played on under the new slogan.

 

Sure enough, however, Kettering were soon up before the FA, who in April ordered them to "remove the words Kettering T from their strip". The threat of a £1,000 fine was too much for such a small club, and the words were reluctantly removed.

 

There would be one final irony. Kettering didn't let the matter lie - after all, clubs like Bayern Munich had been coining it in on the continent for years - and so, with Derby and Bolton, they put forward a proposal to the FA regarding shirt sponsorship. But although the proposal was accepted on June 3 1977, Kettering could not find a sponsor for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Derby players began that season running around in Saab shirts and Saab cars. Where's the justice?
