FAQs

What material is the Score Draw Leeds United FC '78 Home Shirt made from?

The shirt is crafted from a comfortable and durable pique fabric blend of 50% Cotton and 50% Polyester.

Is this shirt an exact replica of the original 1978 kit?

Score Draw specializes in authentic reproductions. This shirt faithfully replicates the design, club crest, and Admiral sponsor of the 1978 Leeds United home kit, aiming for historical accuracy.

Can I wear this shirt for playing football or other sports?

While durable, this shirt is designed as a retro fan jersey for casual wear and display. It does not feature modern performance technologies like moisture-wicking, so it's not ideal for high-intensity athletic activities.

How should I properly care for my shirt to ensure its longevity?

To maintain its quality, machine wash cold (max 30°C/86°F) inside out with similar colours. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Iron on low heat inside out, avoiding the crest and sponsor. Do not bleach.

What is the significance of the 1978-79 season for Leeds United?

The 1978-79 season was a notable one for Leeds United, marking their most successful league campaign since the revered Don Revie era, with the club finishing 5th in the league table.

Does this shirt come in different sizes?

Info needed: [Standard sizing for apparel typically includes a range of sizes (e.g., S, M, L, XL, XXL). Please refer to the product page or retailer for available size options.]

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you are washing in cold water (max 30°C/86°F) and drying on a low heat setting or air drying. High temperatures can cause cotton-blend fabrics to shrink.

Fading of colours or crest details.

Always wash the shirt inside out with similar colours and use a mild detergent. Avoid direct prolonged exposure to strong sunlight during drying or storage, and do not use bleach.

Fabric feels stiff or rough after washing.

Using a fabric softener during the wash cycle can help maintain the softness of the cotton/polyester blend. Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded to allow for proper rinsing.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the shirt's condition, colours, and iconic details over time. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (up to 30°C/86°F) with similar colours. Turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect the crest and sponsor details.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric and cause fading.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, hang dry in the shade. High heat can cause shrinkage and damage printed elements.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting, *inside out*. Avoid direct contact with the Leeds crest and Admiral sponsor to prevent damage.

  • Dry Cleaning: Not recommended.
