Jace Posted 5 September 2012 Share Posted 5 September 2012 Hi guys wondering if anyone can shed any light on this found this shirt on ebay and I am not sure if it's possibly a player issue shirt/spare unworn shirt or not? I'm quite sure if it was a match worn shirt the seller would be aware and they haven't mentioned it in the ad. I know the Coca Cola Cup Final stamp on the front is fairly common but what made me think it could be player issue shirt is the printing on the back doesn't look like the normal Fox Leisure replica number and letters? Also has the Coca Cola badges which I never saw on sale either at the time. Anyone clued up enough to know? Cheers http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Leicester-City-Home-shirt-/150892762404?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2321e8d524&_uhb=1#ht_1976wt_932 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 5 September 2012 Share Posted 5 September 2012 Izzet wore long sleeves and the numbering doesn't look right. If you ask me it's not match worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 5 September 2012 Share Posted 5 September 2012 Ah see what you mean now. Surely if it was a spare the numbering/lettering would either be in the same style or not used at all? Could have been a spare and then they added the numbering I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchandro Posted 5 September 2012 Share Posted 5 September 2012 Looking at this picture, the writing on the front doesn't look the same either: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted 5 September 2012 Share Posted 5 September 2012 Possibly wrong here but I think we had Premier League numbers on that shirt? They were a horrible material from what I remember not like the stickers they use today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 5 September 2012 Share Posted 5 September 2012 Plus I found this This is Stuart Wilson's match worn shirt. His number doesn't contain 'Fox Leisure' where as the letters on Izzet's eBay shirt does.... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace Posted 5 September 2012 Author Share Posted 5 September 2012 Jace. Don't. I remember them shirts they sold them in the Club Shop for AGES before AND AFTER the Cup Final it self. Not Real only buy stuff like that IF it has a certificate of authentication(correct word?) I remember the shirts being sold with the writing on the front you could also get them with Coca Cola Cup Winners 1997 on the front too, its the printing on the back which looks different from the replica Fox Leisure numbers and letters, can't find a pic of the letters but I think they might of been smaller?

His number doesn't contain 'Fox Leisure' where as the letters on Izzet's eBay shirt does.... ? Just found that 1 too, apparently that 1 is a match shirt from the replay at Hillsborough. Don't know if the letters and numbers were different or not can't find a pic online think the stamp on the front being different on Kitch's pic shows it can't be a match issue 1nno idea where the printing could be from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1742 Posted 5 September 2012 Share Posted 5 September 2012 Unfortunately it is a fake. These shirts were rare and virtually untouched by fakers for years, and so having the genuine one was a pretty good thing. Recently though I have found a couple of fakes out there, which it looks like are catching a few people out. Avoid it for sure, if anyone buys it, it will only encourage more coming on the market and one day someone will get stung for big money. I won't give out all the reasons why the shirt is a fake as I don't want the fakers to gain knowledge, but be sure it's a fake for more than one reason.

Turtles Head Posted 5 September 2012 Share Posted 5 September 2012 I'm glad I'm not currently the winning bidder on this.... Decent top for 5 a side. Doubt I'll win it at that price thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace Posted 6 September 2012 Author Share Posted 6 September 2012 I think the Wilson 1 is genuine the guy who owns it is a City match shirt collector no idea where that printing came from on the Izzet 1 never seen another shirt with those letters and numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
