Shame about the sponsor but I expect the museum would've kept it otherwise.

We do not own it , we are selling it for a Charlton fan in exchange for a percentage to the museum.

Talal

Yeah read the other thread after 👍

Unusual to see the sponsor come off like that, especially as the number looks in almost perfect nick.

Those old sponsors are pretty tough as well, not like the modern crap.

Looks like it's been pinned in the frame. This makes do much difference. I bought a 90s match issue, only to find out it had once been glued and framed. Almost ruined the shirt, I've put hours in to try and restore it. Still a long way to go.

Not a retro shirt, but a retro cushion;

Bit weird?

It's a thing of beauty indeed.

Anyone seen one of these before? Was given to me years ago by Andy Petterson, was told it was Parkers, but the number makes no sense in that context.

Talal

It's the sponsor that's most interesting. Never seen it before and wasn't used for the reserves or youths from what I've seen in programmes.

Yes pinned. Don't usually like to buy framed shirts but will make some wall space for this.

The original Viglen sponsor of that shirt was embroidered in to the fabric. That is a vinyl patch on the front. 
Parker would have been 14/15 when that shirt was originally released, so hypothetically could have belonged to him.

What size is it?

Talal

I'm going to guess 46". Definitely looks too big for a teen Parker's size.

Talal - give me that framed shirt & I will sort it out for you

Yeah its a strange one 42/44 is the size.

If you turn it inside out can you see the Viglen outline?

Yeah you can just about make out the V and the N

The Admiral shirt that we are selling is from the 1990-91 season.

Oddly enough looking at that photo Id say it was Morts not Carl.

Also isn't the same number set. Morts/Carlo's utilises the once popular 3D design. The one on the back of the shirt doesn't.

Talal

On my number 7 shirt the Admiral logo is at the top of the number while every other shirt seems to have them at the bottom. Wonder if this is just specific to that number 🤷‍♂️

charltonnick

They obviously had a bit of an issue with the Woolwich logo with a certain batch
