1st December 1984

This has just popped up on a social media feed. This was my first season of away travel as a, just turned, 16 year old. Scary at times but a right laugh.

Love seeing pics from old games, seasons etc. I loved that away kit we had.

I got the full kit for my birthday and immediately got called Big Bird. 

[HoylandOwl]

And it's a name that's stuck? 

I couldn't get the kits back then, family couldn't afford to get me home and away... I just had the away shorts from that era.

That was my first Wednesday kit. Christmas present from the olds.

No Big Birds in Edinburgh though.

I had the Bukta one in about 1980 or thereabouts 

And I concur I am an old ****

That'll be the smack diet.

[EastCraigsOwl]

That's Glasgow.

Tell Irvine Welsh that...

[EastCraigsOwl]

Aye, but he's a Hibby. Nuff said.

Two cheeks of the same arse buddy...

Seem to remember that when we switched to Umbro it looked like we'd just switched the manufacturer's badge on the Bukta kit. Same shadow stripes 

Did Umbro take Bukta over?
