whit???? Thought they’d be classics amongst Suffolk based Ipswich fans along with the 78 shirt.
That pinstriped pioneer shirt on eBay is what they were all wearing on the team poster I had on my bedroom wall when I was 13. Ah, memories. And that particular bedroom wall was in Geelong, Oz. Had Australian pals ask, “Who the hell are eepsweech Taayn, Maaark?”

Well yeah I don't mind the pinstripe one but can't stand Town shirts with Red on them, just doesn't look right to me xxx

Yes, understand that. Like Hibs with the yellow. Hate that.
I don’t like ITFC tops with hints of red as it’s mistaken for Rangers north of the border..... but that one from the 80’s looking like the France top....., must admit, I do like it a lot. Can only be mistaken for France, ..... which isn’t great, but better than Rangers!!

That top last week on eBay......., bid and won it. It's just arrived. £27 + £2-45 postage. Under £30 for a MINT, pioneer ITFC top with the older embroidered badge that I've wanted for YEARS!! Delighted. Probably never wear it but at least I know it's there hanging up, unfolded in the wardrobe.

It certainly does. If I knew how to get pics on here, I'd show you.
But, constantly being reminded that its a family forum and the pic the wife snapped of me trying it on isn't suitable for viewing!
