TOWN GO RETRO
Huddersfield Town is looking to launch a 'retro range' and needs your help to decide on its inaugural item!
The players have sported some classic (and questionable) away shirts through the Club's 100 year existence and htafc.com is today launching a vote to find its most popular change strip of all time, which will be reproduced and placed on sale in all of Town's retail outlets. Please note that the shirts may not be exact matches of the original designs and that former sponsor's logos will not feature.
Voting is open NOW and the closing date is 5pm on Friday 19th December. Each fan is limited to one vote, which can be made in person at the Stadium Superstore or online by e-mailing vote@htafc.com with your choice from the following classic shirts:
Choice 1 - 'The Gola Flash'

The 'Gola Flash' away shirt is fondly remembered as one of the most recognisable away shirts of all time and is still a cult classic.
Town Commercial Manager Paul Fletcher designed this ever-popular change strip before handing over the role to Alan Stephenson, but his legacy lives on.
Eoin Hand's Town side first sported this shirt, with its radical red and black 'electric' hoops, in the successful 91/92 season. The season may have eventually ended in disappointment with defeat to Peterborough United in the Division Three Play-Off Semi-Finals after a third-place finish but the kit still evokes many brilliant memories for Town fans, such as the comeback from 4-0 down at Bury in September 1991 to draw 4-4.
Iwan Roberts featured regularly in it as he bettered Craig Maskell's seasonal post-war goalscoring record with 34 in one campaign.
It was also the first away kit worn by Andrew Booth after his graduation to the first team in the following season.

Choice 2 - 'The Yellow Vileda Kit'

Even though this away shirt had a tough act to follow, coming straight after the popular Gola Flash shirt in 93/94, it has held its own through the years due to its unusual yellow design featuring purple flecks.
It featured as Neil Warnock's side made their way to Wembley for the first time in 56 years for the Autoglass Trophy Final against Swansea City and was worn by Town favourites such as Darren Bullock, Andy Booth, Peter Jackson, Phil Starbuck and Steve Francis.
It was the first Town away shirt to feature unique player squad numbers after the Football League introduced them in the summer of 1993.

Choice 3 - 'The Yellow Shirt'

Quite simplistic in design - a plain yellow shirt with black and yellow chequered patern - this away shirt is popular mainly due to the success of the team during the era.
The first yellow shirt worn by Town was at Newcastle United as early as December 12th 1970; their black and white stripes clashed with both our home shirt of blue and white and change strip of black and red stripes. Although we lost that game 2-0, it is said that the players really took to the 'sunburst yellow' strip because it was easier to pick out their teammates for a pass and it was soon adopted as the regular change strip.
Over the following decade, it was worn with many different coloured shorts and eventually a blue trim was added to the design in the season that the Terriers won Division Four under Mick Buxton's management - 1979/80.

The shirt was finally changed to the yellow and black checked design, featuring the Greenall's logo, in the mid 80s.
Choice 4 - Limited Edition Millennium Kit

Although this shirt was rarely worn by the first-team, the 'Millennium Kit' proved to be a very popular seller, with the limited edition run of 2000 selling out fast. Each fan who bought the petrol-coloured kit, featuring a large collar with yellow trim, green arms and the logo of shirt sponsor Panasonic.
Town first wore the shirt during a 3-1 victory at Nottingham Forest on November 14th 1999, when the goals came from Clyde Wijnhard (2) and Kevin Gray.
Unfortunately for Town, a run of poor form after the turn of the Millennium cost them a place in the Division One Play-Offs after occupying a spot near the top of the League for much of the season. Nevertheless, the Millennium Kit will always be associated with a style and flair seldom reproduced by a Town side in recent memory.
