I have watched the video of the 1939 highlights on you tube and it appears to me the players are wearing short sleeves though the pictures are not entirely clear .The shirt photo as advertised on eBay appears to be long sleeved.Does anybody agree or disagree?


I did think the same on first glance but on the match pic shown on the ebay ad he might just have his shirt sleeves rolled up to the elbow, but yeah not clear at all.

In the Pathetic highlight video on you tube it looks like all the players had short sleeves or sleeves rolled up which makes me doubtful .

Short sleeved shirts didn't become common until the 1950's.  If you look at pictures of various teams in the 1930s (including Town) they all have long sleeves but the majority of players rolled the sleeves up.  Sometimes they're rolled up inside the sleeve giving the appearance of a short-sleeved shirt.

Incidentally, I came across this video a little while ago. Colourised footage of a game between Great Britain and Denmark at the 1912 Olympics, some 109 years ago and a couple of years before the First World War.

Sometimes, when you watch old footage on Pathe, it appears as if the matches bare little resemblance to the game we play today. But with the addition of colour and an adjusted frame rate, it just seems so much more recognisable as football. Maybe just me, but I found it mildly interesting.

The ground in the video is still recognisable today.

After studying some screenshots of the Pathe video there is one shot
of our number 10 in our goalmouth where one sleeve is long so I go along with they all rolled their sleeves up theory. Stripe pattern also matches while team photos for other years in 1930’s don’t so anything to suggest it is not genuine

The club already have some old framed shirts on display in the newly refurbished boardroom. Particularly a set of home International ones.

This shirt would look good in there among those.

Trouble is how many fans get to see in the boardroom, would be nice for them to be displayed for us all to see.

A thing of beauty, thanks for sharing.
