'I need this shirt' - Sheffield United retro shirts re-release delights Blades fans

A replica of United’s pioneering ‘dayglow’ yellow shirt from 1989-91 has been revealed along with the beautiful laced collar number from 1992-94.

The shirts will officially be launched at the club’s Meadowhall store on Friday October 15 with former players Carl Bradshaw and Mitch Ward pencilled in to make an appearance.

The club said on their website: “This is a ticket only event and you can get your free tickets from our Meadowhall store, there will also be a small number of tickets available at the Bramall Lane Superstore. Be quick as this event is limited to the first 400 supporters. Tickets are limited to two per supporter.”

The release of the shirts had been teased earlier in the summer when they appeared in a promotional video ahead of the upcoming season.

The announcement has gone down a storm with Blades fans who have set social media abuzz over the iconic shirts.
