Oocha fucker - nice. 
Brings back memories of being bottled by the minkers over the fence at the covered end. 
Well worth having my heid busted open to see the Dandies giving it to the minks. 
Those were the days.

Aye, I had this and the yellow & black away strip as a kid. Timeless design. Felt like sandpaper grating against your raspberry ripples as you moved

Do Admiral still exist? 

Might be worth asking them to do a limited run 

Admiral went bankrupt in 1982 after losing kit contracts to Umbro and especially Adidas

They formed a newco and came back in 84. Never really reached the heights of their 70s heyday and the Admiral trademark has been bought and transferred/sold a few times since

Did you see the documentary about Admiral on ITV2 few years ago.  Was a great watch.

This guy on Instagram would get them made, I'd say. 

Does quite a few old Dons kits (you'll notice John Hewitt in the '83 kit there).

Think he does that one already. I bought the track top in the pic I posted from him - Nae cheap at £60 but it's top notch.

Regarding Admiral.

There was a good documentary on last September. Don't think it's available to watch on the ITVHub though.

My mate that runs that page.  The quality is superb.  I've bought about a dozen tops off him - replacement for the shirt and tie now I'm working from home ?

Rumoured that he charges more for certain clubs replicas ?

Wouldn't it be soooo Derek McInnes if, after selling Cosgrove this window, he goes out and signs Ross Stewart and Marley Watkins; 2 players currently crocked?

Aye. I was dubious paying that much to a random on Instagram but took a punt and I'm glad I did.

Looks nice. No badge on the strip in the old days?

There was no club badge, just an admiral badge.

Also, on the actual strip, there were only 4 vertical stripes not 5.

Edit.. Apparently was 5 originally, then 4 for the next 2 seasons.

New een on me. ?

Considering I had een.

 

Additionally, that Toffs top can GTF with it's rancid butcher's apron on the inside of the neck.

Imagine that resting on the back of your neck. ?

Would require burning off and left traceless before any possibilty of wearing that arose.

Here's a 5 een.

Aye, I didnae ken that either. School day, every day etc etc

[muttonhumper]

 

Actually now I'm really confused.

I can never remember a 5 striper.

 

This website said we used it for 76/77.

https://fcfootballcases.com/blog/aberdeen-fc-1976-the-admiral-era/

 

Then went to 4 stripes for 77/78 & 78/79.

But this Bumper pic skinning Kenny Dalglish is from 76/77 (the LC Final) and clearly it's a 4 striper.
