Fulham Unveil Special 130 Years Anniversary Shirt

Posted on October 15th, 2009 in Fulham by zebra10

Fulham have unveiled a new shirt to commemorate their 130 years as London’s oldest professional football club. The club was founded in 1879. The shirt is a limited edition and is quite similar to the current home shirt, this time featuring 130 years beneath the club crest.

The club was originally founded  as Fulham St Andrew’s Church Sunday School by worshippers at the Church of England  in West Kensington. Fulham’s first match at Craven Cottage, their current home stadium was in 1896. Their stadium currently boasts a stadium capacity of over 25,000.

Fulham are currently playing in the English Premier League and currently have seven points from seven matches played.  Throughout their 130-year old history, the club have managed to produce many British great players including Bobby Robson, Johnny Haynes and Rodney Marsh. Even though they boast such a long history, the club has yet to lift any major honours, the closest being in 1975 when they finished as runners-up in the FA Cup versus West Ham where they had lost 2-0. They won the league now known as the Championship twice, in 1949 and 2001.

    Did you say, “…quite similar to the current home shirt…”?

    It’s the same (with a bit of grey script underneath the badge).

    Exploitation. Again.

    New season, new shirt. 2 months down the line, same shirt with a bit of new text on it? Why couldn’t they do that at the start of the season? Rip off.

    Did the Geniuses at Fulham just (conveniently) figured out midway through the season that it’s their 130th – or do they think their Fans are as thick as they are?

    what a rip off. Celebrate 130 years?
    You´re supposed t celebrate 50 or 100, 150 years but 130?
    And please, save us from the numerous new shirts just to squeeze us supporters. Are 3 shirts now normal?
