Marvin Nash has sent an intriguing history of the launch of the 1975/76 Admiral change kit.
The illustrations are backed up by period photographic or written evidence which has been carefully authenticated. On occasion we have had to make assumptions due to the limitation of black and white photography, but we have explained our reasoning behind each decision to allow you to reach your own conclusions.
The original graphics and illustrations contained on this site are the copyright of Tim Ashmore and all rights are reserved. Infringement of this copyright may lead to legal action. Should you wish to reproduce any of the illustrations please contact us, detailing the particular illustrations you wish to use, and the purpose of your work/project.
Tim is meticulous in his attention to detail. As most of the photographic evidence on which we rely is in black and white, accurate colour representation could be a problem. Once he has designed a kit it is temporarily converted to grayscale and compared with the photographic evidence. If necessary the colours are changed until they are a true representation of the photograph, and only then is the kit published on the web site.
Wherever it has been possible we have included photographic evidence to support the illustrations. We believe that the majority of the photographs reproduced are out of copyright, or have been supplied by individuals with permission to publish on this site. We have taken all reasonable steps to avoid infringement of copyright, but should this inadvertently have been broken please contact us.

We have been sent information on the first adidas kits produced at the start of the 1980/81 season. We think they were only worn in the pre season games but we're not sure. Can you help?
