It is sacrilege to throw replica shirts away but, what are you supposed to do with them ?

Wear them on you holidays

Personally, I don't tend to wear the replica shirts at any other time, than match days.

However, I do possess leisure wear. such as tee shirts and polo's etc, and tend to take these on holiday, usually for flight or maybe if we happen to be playing and its televised etc.

I've got a binbag full of them in the loft, from when I did used to be a replica shirt kinda guy; I can't bring myself to chuck em out either.

I already do but, having watched / suffered Trinity for so long, I have too many to get through and Ryanair baggage allowance would mean leaving most of them at home
I probably have 25/30 replica shirts but, would never get rid.

I tend to keep mine so long, then every so often have a little clear out.

One of my ex locals in Bugibba, Malta, displays rugby league shirts in his bar, and usually if I'm having a clear out, tend to send them onto him.

Ditto, only one I really wear is the old cloth retro shirt that we did in about 2004, forget which year it was based on but I have a feeling it was either 63 cc or 67 champ final. Someone help me out.

I tend to put mine in one of those plastic bags that you can connect your vacuum cleaner pipe to. It shrinks the pile of shirts to about a third of the "bulk" volume. Then put them in a drawer. I tend to leave my most recent and second recent out for leisure wearing and holidays. I consider it heinous a crime to get rid them!!
I recall getting my first replica shirt when in the second year at Snapethorpe school circa 1960 and wearing it for games much to the envy of my mates. It was the classic sixties design similar to the 2018 season.

I think everyone at Snapey turned up for PE (rugby) in the classic Wakey white with red and blue hoop back in the day All apart from a lad called Steve Booth whose dad was Jack Booth I believe and had a unique blue Trin shirt with red hoop. Steve was a massive lad who went on to play for Dewsbury so it may well have been an adults players shirt.
