Half and Half Shirt

Exeter City football shirt | eBay

This is the only shirt I've ever seen like this being a 50/50 split one for home and away it's part of my collection that I've amassed over many years and now time to pass them on to other fans unsure of the year tbh

Never seen this before, surely we never sold these?

They were sold out of a small shop on sidwell street by a bunch of fans, I seem to remember RHK was one of them? I didn’t buy one, I thought they’d never take off. They didn’t.

Maybe Rog could give a bit more info on it , what year / How many were sold etc ? Never know it might have been part of our history when we were trying to save the club and people were trying anything to get money in.

Probably wouldnt get fans of clubs these days having to make shirts.

Looking at the font used it probably dates from the time when our shirt sponsors were the Exeter Friendly Society, so pre R & L, Trust etc. As you say, I'm sure Rog could fill in the background. If they were being sold from a shop In Sidwell St I think it would be a fair bet that it would have been his haberdashery shop "Percy's Fabrics".

Never seen one of those before. Interesting!

Some other interesting bits from the same seller.

It was definitely pre R&L. And it might have been his shop, might not, I just have a memory of him selling them. But I could be wrong!

You've been here long enough to know that nobody admits to being "wrong" on Exeweb
