This is a strange shirt. The shirt has the correct players style number on the back, Nationwide badges and also the embroidered Fox Leisure and Leicester City badges. So this is very different to the replica's that were available in the club shop. Howver, what is very strange is that this style shirt was only ever worn as short sleeves, so it is very strange that this shirt has surfaced. In addition, there was a load of these that appeared on ebay within a few months, which would indicate that someone had managed to get a whole batch.
Why didn't we ever wear this shirt in the long sleeved version, yet over 15 years later a whole batch became available on ebay? Did these shirts go "missing" at the time they were to be worn by the players, leaving them with just the short sleeved version to wear for matches? Not sure we will ever know, but one thing for sure, if you have one of these shirts, it was never worn by any Leicester player. But also, it was never available in the club shop.
