Since I first walked through the turnstiles at Hayes Lane in 1977, the club’s home kit has largely been white shirts, black shorts and black socks. Although, prior to this, they had worn white with blue trim on occasion. Sacrilege?
For my first couple of seasons, Bromley’s kit was made by Admiral, the one-time giants of English sportswear. It was a direct copy of Manchester United’s kit, with white for the home shirts and red for the away.
The club shop didn’t sell replica shirts in the ‘70s. But, if you were crafty, you could buy a sew-on Bromley club crest and stitch it onto a Man Utd shirt from your local sports shop. The lengths we went to!
