FAQs

What season does this Score Draw shirt represent?

This shirt is a replica of the Leeds United FC home shirt from the 1978-79 season, a period when Jimmy Adamson's team finished 5th in the league.

Is this shirt suitable for playing football?

No, this shirt is primarily designed as a replica for casual wear, fan support, and collection. It is made from a cotton pique blend and is not intended for high-performance athletic activity.

What material is the shirt made from?

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

How should I wash this replica shirt?

We recommend machine washing cold (30°C/86°F) on a gentle cycle, inside out, with similar colors. Air dry or tumble dry on very low heat. Do not bleach or iron directly on the crest or sponsor.

Does this shirt feature the original sponsor and club crest?

Yes, the shirt faithfully includes the iconic Admiral sponsor and the legendary Leeds United crest, maintaining historical accuracy.

Who were some of the key players during the 1978-79 season?

Key players from the 1978-79 squad mentioned in historical records include David Harvey, Trevor Cherry, Frank Gray, Brian Flynn, Paul Hart, Carl Harris, Paul Madeley, Ray Hankin, Tony Currie, Arthur Graham, Eddie Gray, and John Hawley, who was the top scorer with 16 league goals.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels smaller after washing

Ensure you are washing in cold water and air drying or tumble drying on a very low heat setting. High heat can cause cotton blends to shrink. Check the size guide before purchase to ensure the correct initial fit.

Crest or sponsor print is peeling/fading

Always wash the shirt inside out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid ironing directly over any printed areas. Air dry whenever possible to minimize stress on the prints.

Fabric feels rough or stiff after washing

This can sometimes happen with cotton blends. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and consider adding a small amount of fabric conditioner (if allowed by the care label and away from printed areas) during the rinse cycle. Avoid over-drying.

Color fading on the stripes or main body

Wash with similar colors to prevent color bleeding. Avoid direct, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight during drying or storage, as UV rays can cause colors to fade over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

As a garment, no specific setup is required. Simply unbox and wear. We recommend washing before the first wear to remove any manufacturing residues.

Compatibility

This shirt is compatible with most casual wardrobes. It pairs well with:

  • Bottoms: Jeans, chinos, track pants, or shorts.
  • Layering: Can be worn under a jacket, hoodie, or open shirt for cooler weather.
  • Occasions: Ideal for casual outings, sporting events (as a fan), social gatherings, or simply relaxing at home.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the shirt's vintage look and feel for years to come. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the print and fabric.
  • Drying: Air dry by hanging or lay flat to dry. If using a dryer, tumble dry on low heat to minimize shrinkage and preserve the integrity of the crest and sponsor. Remove promptly.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, iron inside out on a low setting. *Do not iron directly on the Leeds crest or Admiral sponsor print* to prevent damage.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
