YORK City will wear a Y-front style commemorative shirt for their final game at Bootham Crescent – and fans can buy one from the club shop tomorrow morning.
The maroon shirt features the famous white 'Y-Front' design of the mid-Seventies along with the club's original coat of arms and current club crest.
Produced in association with kit suppliers Under Armour and club sponsors Benenden Health, it is priced at £29.99 and available in adult sizes only.
Legendary City keeper Graeme Crawford, who played in every game during the club’s two-season stay in the old second division when the original 'Y-Front' jerseys were worn, has given his thumb-up to the new design after joining current players for its unveiling at Bootham Crescent.
“Everyone used to like wearing this shirt and I think the design is now synonymous with York City Football Club,” Crawford pointed out.
"City supporters in the crowd still wear the 'Y-Front' shirt and it was also a lucky shirt back in the Seventies so, hopefully, it will be as lucky again. The new version puts a modern take on an old design and I really like it."
