Away shirt for 1999/2000 season (and the one after that?). Always wanted one but never saw it for sale.

Edit: always associate it with Goater for some reason.

I'm pretty sure that is a fake.

The EIDOS was across the chest rather than under the badge on the real one.

Think it's cos he's wearing the shirt on the cover of his book?
KK is right btw, Eidos was huge across the chest

It was the kit we wore when we beat Blackburn and got promoted - but Fidel is right about the Eidos being bigger...

As stated, we wore it against Blackburn in 2000 when we were promoted last game of the season, Kennedy scored one of the goals.

If memory serves, this shirt was released as a limited edition top coz the club weren't selling a full replica of the "big eidos" shirt.

The player shirt with the big Eidos was never released on sale, but the club did sell the shirt you have uploaded as a kind of cheap replica. So the shirt you have is a proper MCFC product, but that style was never worn in a game. I think City only released the small Eidos replica because they didn't want to fleece us for another shirt.

I remember a load of fake ones being sold at The Nelson after we were beaten by Charlton in December 2000.
