Liverpool 1982 Home Umbro football kit E-mail

liverpool_1982_home_umbro_kit_shirt.jpg

Up for auction on Ebay : LIVERPOOL 1982 HOME KIT IN ORIGINAL BOX AND SHIRT BAG

The seller added the following: This item for sale is extremely rare, in the 10 years+ that I have been collecting and trading Liverpool shirts I saw only 2 vintage kits still in their boxes, for those who do not know during the 80s Umbro and Adidas used to sell children’s football kits in boxes, these were well packaged items advertising all of the kits available, I myself received a 1982 Liverpool away kit from my parents as a birthday present and remember these boxed kits vividly.

The first thing that happened to 99.9% of these boxes is that they were ripped apart and thrown away when the item was purchased, very few were ever saves as there wasn’t a market for collecting football kits back then.

However I recently learnt of a sports shop that was closing down after 42 years of independent trading due to the owners ill health, on contacting this shop I found they had a variety of vintage items in their stock room including some original boxed kits from the 80's. These really are so rare it's hard to describe, the true collectors of you will understand how rarely these items come up for sale.

The item being sold here is a 1982 home kit that includes Shirt, Shorts and Socks, I must stress this is an original find of 1982 stock, not a modern remake, the item is mint having never been worn, probably the first time it was opened was when I found it, 26 years after being delivered to the sports shop!!

The size is Boys 30/32 with 26/28 shorts. I sold a similar one recently for £125 on eBay, however I was going to keep this one for myself, the box is amazing, not as creased as the other one I sold, this box is sharp and in fantastic solid condition, doesnt look 2 years old, let alone 26 years, found in one of Liverpool's most iconic kit it really is amongst the rarest item you will ever see!!

If the last one I sold was a 7/8 out of 10 then this is a 9.5!, It's the very last one of these, once gone it's gone!!!

How often do you see one of Liverpool's most iconic kits from the early 80's brand new, in its original bag having never been owned, let alone worn!

I remember Graeme Souness stepping out in the
1982 Charity Shield against Spurs.
i saw it on a B+W tv set as we were in Cornwall
but I liked what I saw, desperate at the time to see Liverpool change the kit they were weasring because it was ( in my humble) a touch dull. Memories arwe made of this.....

Although Liverpool started wearing this kit design from 1982, I think this particular kit was produced until the final season of it's lifespan (84/85).

If you look at the picture of Bryan Robson on the front of the box, England didn't start wearing Umbro until 1984, the picture was probably taken during the 1-1 draw at Hampden.

England have ALWAYS worn Umbro - well since WWII.

They won the World Cup in Umbro.
