A roundup of our favourite shirts added to the Showboat app this week.
Coventry (Home Jersey) - 1997
This is about as 90s as it gets and immediately took us back to a better time. Coventry were flying high in the Premier League when the likes of Dion Dublin and David Burrows wore this. The open neck, enormous colour, wide sleeves, Le Coq Sportif manufacturing and the huge logo sitting beneath the Subaru sponsor all get our juices flowing. They really don't make 'em like this anymore and, for that reason, our team value this at £160.
Schalke 04 (Home Jersey) - 1977
Whilst the Adidas trefoil has faded almost beyond recognition on this jersey, we simply had to include it because of its 70s simplicity. Worn by the likes of Klaus Fischer, Klause Fichtel and Rold Rüssmann, this shirt might not have achieved cult status the way some of the players did in the city they played in after narrowly avoiding relegation on the final day of the 1977/78 Bundesliga season, but it remains a sight to behold and a genuine collectors item. We value this around £225.
Middlesbrough (Special Edition Jersey) - 1995
A tremendously rare special edition that was released in limited numbers in 1995 following Juninho's move to Middlesbrough. For many, the shirt came to symbolise something utterly unique - the fusion of the Brazilian boy wonder and Boro. Those who have this one, are likely to part with a loved one before giving this up. Accordingly, its value is sky-high at an eye-popping £365.
Liverpool (Away Jersey) - 1992
The 1992/93 season wasn't a memorable one for Liverpool. They finished trophy-less, in sixth position in the league table and saw their greatest rivals lift the inaugural Premier League title. Still, failure has rarely looked this good. Steve McManaman, Jamie Redknapp, John Barnes and Robbie Fowler all wore this shirt that showcases Liverpool's long-standing Adidas connection at its very best. TheCarlsberg sponsor didn't hurt either.
Spain (Home Jersey) - 1982
We simply had to include this jersey, as much for the story behind it as the shirt itself. One of our biggest collectors, Mariano Ayneto, uploaded this gem that was worn by his father for Spain U21s in 1983 on his debut. It was a debut against Italy that he marked with a goal, making the shirt even more treasured to the family. A truly brilliant addition his collection and to the Showboat app. While its value is lkely priceless to the family, our collectors gave it a market price of around £600.
