Final Boleyn Ground embroidery shirt

[JeppeNG]

Hi everybody

I hope that maybe some of you can help me with information about a shirt I have. It’s the 15/16 home shirt with “Final Boleyn Game” embroidery similar to the one the players used in the last match against Manchester United. From pictures I can see that some fans wore it at the game as well.







However, I cannot clarify the origin of the shirt as I can only find official sources mentioning the gold crest “Boleyn Ground 1904-2016: https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/201 ... kit-201516] as well as limited numbered shirts: https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/201 ... nal-season, but not the embroidery on the chest.

Can any of you maybe help me to clarify whether the shirt was officially sold around the match day May 10 2016 or assist with any other valuable information. As I haven’t bought it myself, there is the chance that the shirt or embroidery is made later on. However, the shirt itself seem to be official, so I hoped to find a story behind it.

Best regards, Jeppe

Hi Jeppe,

if I remember correctly, they sold the shirts a few days prior to the final game in the stadium store. Was there for the Swans and Manure match and they definitely sold them around that time

Thanks for the answer. It helps me a lot to know that it was officially sold. Do you have any idea of whether the shirt holds extra value for the fans?

Would say not too much, think there were still a few in the larger sizes available at the stadium store after we moved.

Okay, thanks again. However, I saw that The Vault had listed the shirt at £159.99 so I got a bit curious in that matter.
