TOFFS - New BUKTA range

[Storer 68]

and disintergrated in the wash

but looking at that I think I have just made a mess downstairs

and disintergrated in the wash

Odd, as I have all 3 permutations of the Bukta home shirt, and they are all structurally totally sound, in fact they are all in excellent condition, very little signs of wear.

Ah Phil. Mine went west in the wash many years ago. manufacturers badge and club badge both disintergrated, and the material made it utterly unwearable on afootball pitch for more than 2 minute.


BUT THIS ONE......................................

Makes you wonder doesn't it, I have a matchworn one, and it's exactly the same material, albeit with short sleeves. They must have worn vests underneath their shirts back in them days.

The match worn ones had the badge and bukta logotype embroidered whereas the replica kits had those printed on. The colour of the logotype and badge on the replica kits wore off on many I have seen.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Oh yeah, and I'm so excited by this turn up. Phil, could you please ask that they don't put that extra white ring on the badge as that is not on the original shirt?

The matchworn one I have has a printed Bukta logotype, and an embroidered badge, perhaps there were 2 types of player spec shirt, as there were 2 types of replicas.

I shall forward the suggestions made here about white rings, short sleeves etc. .

I'm pretty certain that shirt never had the BHAFC letters on it. It had an Umbro (or sometimes Bukta) logo on it, though.

never wore anything resembling that tho. pre 1976 we didn't wear a badge as such. sometimes we had the city crest, sometimes a printed BHAFC in capitals, but mostly no badge

It's a prototype at this stage, but it's on its way.

Toffs Bukta shirt

Just to compare with orginal

 

[Superphil]

Ah yes, the collar is wrong too, but it is a prototype, so fingers crossed they'll iron out the glitches.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

The collar on the prototype would be correct for 1977/78. See:

It is in 1978/79 and 1979/80 that the panel under the collar is no longer filled in.

Here is their new Blyth Spartans version, with a more suitable collar for ours?

As I do speak to them quite often, should I put it to them that this collar (in blue of course) be the prefered one for the Brighton version?

An open collar just doesn't look right Brighton-wise to me.
But to wear, I'd prefer it.

The open collar was what most of the Brighton Bukta shirts had, the versions I have are all that way, until Goldstone Rapper pointed it out I hadn't seen it with a closed collar. badcollector

It would be lovely if Toffs manage to get the Eurostile font for the badge, rather than what they currently use. This is the badge with Eurostile:

Trouble is, when embroidered, it is pretty much impossible to embroider that font at that size, see below actual badge on match worn Bukta shirt

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

True. Thanks for that close-up, Phil.

With Toffs, if the prototype is anything to go by, it looks like they're going to do a stick-on badge which allows them to get more detail into the font. The replica shirt, which had the stick-on adhesive for the badge, had Eurostile, although the spacing between the letters doesn't do it justice IMO.
