Retro Ribero Top 1991/3. Advice Needed.
Considering purchasing the retro shirt from the club shop. Not sure though about the colour; is it more of a purple than claret ? I’ve only got photographs to go on which may not be a true reflection.
Has anybody bought it or seen it ?
Thank you.

Thank you Culm and Tony for responses. I’ve also found pictures of the original shirt and most look like claret and some do look like the purple. Maybe they did different shades in the 2 years the shirt was out. My memory forgets.
I intend purchasing for my holiday but still not certain about the purple tones.
Any other thoughts or a definite answer would be really helpful.

I've still got a white one but it's long since been worn.

Re: Retro Ribero Top 1991/3. Advice Needed.
To sum up….
The current club shop replica is NOT the correct shade when compared with what most consider to be ‘proper claret’
At the same time, the original version, too, was a different shade to what we generally recognise as Claret.
Two wrong shades!
If you want your version to look the same as the 1991 version, get an original off a sales site and not from the club shop.

The original was definitely more purple than claret. In fact my girlfriend of the time said on seeing it for the first time… Burnley need to change their nickname to Clorets (popular sweet at the time) because that purple has never seen claret.

As a fanatical 11 year old that season I had all 3 kits. But I bought the two away kits before the home one. The away ones were very nice! A bright yellow one and a mid blue with claret v on sleeves (the blue was the nicest).

Is this the so-called bird-s**t shirt?
If so, then yes, it was far nearer purple than claret.

Slightly off topic but on the theme of football shirts I notice Toffs don’t have so much Burnley stuff available any more, maybe it’s shortage of materials or demand https://www.toffs.com/shop-by-team/foot ... ue/burnley

Aren’t the club retro shirts produced by ScoreDraw?

This is probably right…. Toffs used to do a decent range, but they also used to be available from the club shop itself. I still wear the 70’s V shirt I got from them at the club shop, though at around twenty, despite still holding up well it is now is used as slouching around at home wear.
