This was the first Sassco shirt to be made of Lycra\u00ae material. Both the Sassco and FA Charter Standard badges were embroidered, albeit not accurately, which led to separate badges being sourced from China and sewn on for any future shirts. The style was similar to the Manpower shirt, but with the addition of a collar and also a filled v-neck. The Sassco name and number appeared on the back in the style used by the previous Milltech shirt. This is no longer used by the Sassco 11-a-side adult team and had been passed on the the Under 18 Sassco Impact team for a brief time before going out of circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n2006-2007 Milltech shirt<\/strong>. The second designed custom shirt. Made in the same high quality polyester, the shirt also contained an embroidered Team Sassco badge as well as a printed Milltech sponsor logo. This was the first shirt to show the Sassco name on the back along with numbering as 01, 02, etc. Sizing was a XL due to the sizing problems with the previous Manpower shirt. This shirt is no longer in circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n2005-2007 Manpower shirt<\/strong>. Not hugely popular due to the size problems and poor printing of the numbers on the back. Most of the shirts were L size. But, this was the first custom designed shirt for Sassco. Made in high quality polyester, the shirt also contained an embroidered Team Sassco badge as well as the Manpower sponsor logo. Was seen from time to time in the 6-a-side, but now no longer in circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n Nova 2002-2005 Sassco shirts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA popular and much used shirt, spanning three years. Came into first use during Sassco’s 6-a-side Season 4 campaign which ended with a triumphant 4-0 win over Sporting Redhouse in the SFL Cup Competition. These had to be purchased from Germany as Adidas didn’t distribute unbranded team kits until around 2005. The blue one was a necessity as a second kit when the 11-a-side team started. These shirts were used on occasions as a spare shirt by various 6-a-side teams, but are now no longer in circulation. Made by Adidas, the shirts were 100% polyester and contained a vinyl Sassco badge with red numbering on the back of the white shirt and white numbering on the blue shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Paris 2001 Herrenknecht \/ Sassco 6-a-side short sleeve shirts<\/strong>. A shirt used as a “Summer shirt” for the 6-a-side. Unfortunately, these were paint damaged and were therefore unusable. Due to the poor weather, another short sleeve shirt wasn’t purchased until the Summer of 2007 for the 11-a-side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n Liga Cup 1999-2001 Herrenknecht \/ Sassco 6-a-side shirts<\/strong>. A rarely remembered shirt and the first ever Sassco badged shirt, which was used for the 6-a-side. Made by Adidas and imported from the United States. The brand name was Liga Cup and it was quite unusual as it had the old Adidas Trefoil logo on. This was introduced at a time when “retro” looks were unheard of. This was close to becoming the first 11-a-side shirt, but was changed in favour of the ones shown above. It started with a Herrenknecht badge, but was changed once the Sassco name was introduced in 2001. Looking back, this was by far the most stylish shirt Sassco had worn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n1999-2000 Herrenknecht 6-a-side shirts<\/strong>. The first ever “Sassco” shirt, although the name Sassco wasn’t conceived until a few years after it’s introduction. The shirt was non-branded and generic. The team name at the time was Herrenknecht as it was the sponsors name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
