replica football shirt you will see is a Burnley top. No one knows why.

I was going to say Aston Villa

claret and blue
as do west ham, aston villa and a few other lower division clubs. they look pretty similar so chance is it'd be one of those

But I would know and so woud the people involved in the worldwide game of spot the first
English (excluding the national strip) football shirt when abroad. A man of my acquaintance went to work as an engineer in an Antarctic research station and the first shirt was Burnley.


There were pictures, it did happen.

Hahaha
I nearly said these days I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Villa and West Ham, I certainly wouldn't be able to tell either from Burnley then

Weirdest thing.... everywhere I go, the first football shirt I see is wrapped around a cunt.
