To confirm, this is an original shirt from 1974 and is NOT a modern copy.
Manufacturer is UMBRO.
This was the FIRST Umbro United shirt to have an United badge on it. This one is printed on in an orange colour. Most replica shirts of the period were unbadged, so this is an EXTREMELY rare one. The Umbro neck label dates it to 1974.
Size of the shirt: the neck label states the size as being 30-32", so is a child sized shirt.
Condition of the shirt is around GOOD to VERY GOOD. There is a little marking/discolouring to the white collar - I haven't tried to wash it due to the age of the shirt. There is light surface bobbling/pilling throughout due to the type of material used. PLEASE NOTE - if you choose to wash this shirt then please do so GENTLY and by hand, but avoid water contact with the United badge if possible.
A STUNNING shirt and an INCREDIBLY rare one - only the third one I have seen in 25 years of collecting and trading in shirts. YOU WILL WAIT A VERY LONG TIME TO SEE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE.
