Yeah, I thought that at the time. Cue the ‘lighten up’ comments but I was brought up to respect women. A bunch of sleazy businessmen ogling young women has always been odious.Did you honestly think that at the time though?
Look at the advert properly, they are all men in suits, all 'businessmen'. It was a time before someone cottoned onto the fact that you could sell holidays to 'families'. Rather than an 'odious' advert, it was an advert of it's time. We're probably looking at things in a diff way, to me it demonstrates how far our society has come within a short time (in a historical sense). It's a society 'time stamp', shame there isn't a company today that would be brave enough to put that out as a social experiment to see how far attitudes to women and their 'place' has actually changed. It's changed a lot for the good, I would expect a lot of men to have a twitter meltdown about that advert today. It's good to see how times have changed don't know exactly when that advert was done but in the early 80's women began to say eff off, I can do the same job as a man & started working in the city wearing power suits. It may have been something like that advert that annoyed women so much that they subconsciously (or consciously) started a change within society.

Wasn’t there a rule that the sponsors logo had to be a certain size - as I don’t recall the home shirt being worn with the airways added in a match. Then again that doesn’t account for the away shirt with airways added

My shirt is matchworn by Steve Gatting, with the ‘Airways’ on it. Not sure about the size thing, as you say, the away shirt had ‘Airways’ on it too.

Just checked - the rule about the size was when they allowed sponsored shirts in TV games - it had to be 32 inches square or less. So nothing to do with the extra AIrways at all

Would be interested to know what this is like as it looks much better than the club retro shirt.Inspired by this thread, I ordered one of these. Let’s see what it’s like when (if?) it arrives!

Manchester United are on a £75m basic plus a relatively small royalty per unit which took it to £76.4m last season.Thanks mate, I wonder what Mr 0898‘s cut was from the £180k?
Things must have moved quickly with the monies, that was 1980,I seem to recall reading, probably Shoot, that Liverpool’s deal with Hitachi in 1979 was a flat £100,000, so clearly once one club put their toe in the water it all gathered momentum.
Do we know which EPL club currently gets paid the most for its shirt sponsor?
if the Rags fail To qualify for Champions League two consecutive seasons then the guaranteed sum falls by 30%.
Liverpool are on a £30m basic from Nike but 20% commission per unit
Life was fun back then. That ad was fun. Did anyone complain at the time? Not that I'm aware of. Did any women I knew at the time complain? No, they all thought it was fun too. And, believe it or not, most enjoyed being attractive and wearing attractive and flattering uniforms. And they also enjoyed "ogling" young men. Forward 50 years and we're all worried that whatever we do may offend someone, or upset someone who's being offended on behalf of someone else. Lighten up people.
The one I ordered off the club shop arrived this morning.Inspired by this thread, I ordered one of these. Let’s see what it’s like when (if?) it arrives!

Until I tried it on, I hadn't noticed how utterly stupid that collar is. On the plus side I can just fold it in and pretend it doesn't exist.
Still waiting for mine. Yes, that collar has kept me awake at nights too, I hope it will fit through the letter box when it arrives!

Club one doesn't have the adidas logo and stripes though as far as I remember
No it doesn't. Presumably they're still sewing those onto PeterT's and that's why it hasn't arrived yet.

Have you received it yet and if so, how is the quality?
It is coming from Thailand apparently and I keep getting updates on its arrival but don’t have it yet! I will let you know when I do!
