The 1980s were a cruel period, and for this writer it was an era of badly fitting school uniforms and a bowl-cut hair do. But today I was laughing my arse off at this range of Umbro casual wear made for Chelsea fans, that were recently unearthed in a shady corner of the Internet. In its day, the clobber modelled by these cheesy catalogue models was ahead of it’s time, but like most things from the 80s, (Pat Sharpe’s hair, Timmy Mallett) it hasn’t aged well.

In fact, this lot look like they’re in a terrible TV sit-com, probably called ‘Blue is the Colour’ and shown on 1980s BSkyB. You just can’t get authentic licensed team cardigans anymore, can you?
