Following on from the thread on the choice of 4 away strips for next season I have been thinking about an actual replica. I fully understand the reasons for having a modern take and for the sponsor's logo and the likelihood that 21st entury footballers might not wish to perform in a 19th century shirt. I do like the idea of one for leisure wear however and contacted Toffs accordingly. Their response was as follows:
It looks similar to our Newcastle United 1950s cup final shirt, see link below:

" the price is dependant on quantity, if we were to produce a one off shirt then it would be made as a "special" and would cost ?55 for the shirt plus ?25 for badge origination and postage (?5 for UK delivery). If you were to order a quantity of 20 then we could offer a trade discount of 25% off the shirt price of ?50. The badge origination would still be ?25 one off fee and postage is ?9.95 for UK delivery for up to 50 shirts.
We would need permission from the club to replicate the badge.
Should you wish to proceed with an order please bear in mind that we will be extremely busy the run up to and during the World Cup and production time is 4-6 weeks for a bulk order.
50% payment would be required on placing the order with the balance due prior to despatch."
If you check out the link it is a remarkably similar shirt. As to the badge I suspect Scally would not play ball but that doesn't matter because the 1893/4 shirt did not carry one. We could always apply badges of our choice, design one for Toffs to originate, or just take plain shirts.
Perhaps I am the only one, who would like such an item but if there are 20 others then it's a deal cheaper.
