Oldham Kits Through The Years - New Video

New Kit VideoToday In 

The decision to revive the shirt from the early 1990s for the final match of the 2024 season against Workington caused the ORL Heritage Trust to look back at the “Oldham kits through the years” and we have put together this montage of images which highlights the club colours from 1876 right up to the 2024 season.

Hopefully you will enjoy this!

With special thanks to The Boundary Parkas and Sarah Turner for the background music.

That’s brilliant. You should see if the club can put it on their YouTube channel. It would also be good if they could put some old classic games on during the off season.

[sheddingswasus]

We are looking at doing both. 

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Love this. Brilliant. Thanks.

Is the Boundary Parkas song played over the tannoy at home matches?

Marvellous…..there are some truly hideous kits among them. But then most things look hideous when compared to the classic regular red and white hoops with navy shorts.

A very well presented production looking through Oldham's history. Well done to all involved. Good luck in the Championship next season.

Thank you. Another one of Michael Turners masterpieces

Really good video this, credit where its due to those who put it all together. Brought back lots of memories of replica shirts I've worn over the years (most I'm sad to say will no longer fit due to the expanding waistline ), some kits look better than others although I have to say I think the home kit used this season was one of my favourites, looked proper good on a winning team!!!!

Got to admit though Oldham have played in some proper rank away kits in my time watching them, I don't think we've ever had an away kit that I've thought "oh I might buy one of those", even this season's did not float my boat but that's just probably me

Worst away kit I can remember (though there may well be worse ones that I've blocked out for psychological reasons) is from the early 90s, Martin Crompton era, white with narrow green and yellow stripes. Looked like a reject wrapper from the Spangles design team.

The best away kit, to my mind, is the blue and white Boddingtons kit sported at the 91 old Trafford premiership final. The one with Fordy lifting the trophy.

[sheddingswasus]

I think it is the standard blue and white hoops.

Heresy,  I know, but remember preferring the blue and white hoops and blue shorts to the red and white hoops. The white shorts in the Seventies were a particular aberration.

They also used to change strips rather than away strips.

It was custom and practice for the home team to change in the event of a clash.

Video brought a tear to the eye

The best away kit. I agree 100% with you.

And WHAT A GREAT (2nd half) GAME THAT WAS.

[jroyales]

Absolutely brilliant! The hardest part was trying to remember the players - got some but most evaded me.

My favourite ones all had Total+ on them
