it's supposed to be retro

You should know that keepers pre 1978 were not allowed to wear yellow...

 

Yellow goalkeepers jersey were only worn by England keepers in international games

 

note Gordon Banks on England duty in 1970..

Still think green blends in with the pitch and doesn't impact opposition players enough when shooting. They see a bright colour coming towards them, it can affect their shooting quite a bit. Bright orange or yellow everytime.

 

Na what happens is they think there's an open goal so they shoot but little did they know Davis was there all along.

A shirt for those who wanted a home shirt with stripes

[John Boy Saint]

Good to see a traditional goalkeepers shirt colour, Banks wore yellow in Mexico because of the heat.

It wasn't a handicap for about 60 years before the trend to gk multi-range of colour kits.

He also wore yellow in 1966:

 

 

Yes,I remember when GK's only wore green in league games.

 

I think Shilton and a couple of others broke rank c1974 with different colours - blue,and Shilton I think once wore white against us - but generally it was green.

[CWD]

I like it, its kinda retro and modern at the same time

agreed, its camoflage, Davis can leap out of his goal and stop the shot like a cheetah killing a zebra in the serengeti.....

New goalkeepers shirt looks great

[Kenilworthy]

When we were founded keepers wore the same shirt as the outfield players. So if we were going for authenticity we wouldn't need a keepers shirt! Even as far back as the 60s keepers had a choice of green, scarlet, royal blue or white. Green was just the most common as you didn't need to change it unless you played Plymouth. When West Brom started playing in green and yellow stripes as an away kit our keepers wore blue.

[SaintRobbie]

I quite like it. Green is nice and traditional.

 

Just received my normal shirt. Bloody superb.
