Coventry City Retro Shirt 1978

The retro shirt is where Coventry City tends to do its most interesting work. Away from the expectations that come with the home kit, the design gets room to breathe.

Why supporters pick this one
  • Relaxed supporter fit with room through the chest and shoulders
  • Shoulder seams set forward to avoid strap friction
  • Sizing consistent across the full EFL Championship range
  • Opacity tested: not see-through under stadium lighting
  • Heat-applied crest and numbering that flex with the fabric

Before you choose a size

Compared with the authentic version, this has roughly two inches more in the body and a softer shoulder. It is the one supporters actually wear rather than the one they frame.

Open mesh panels sit along the flank and under the arm — the places heat actually builds — while the body keeps enough density to stay opaque.

Name & number detail

The back carries {players} official-style name and number, heat-applied with flexible film that stays soft and resists splitting.

Design accents: Relaxed regular fit

How it fits and feels

It runs true to size with a little extra room. If you are between sizes and want a closer fit, size down; if you want it over a hoodie, stay put.

Mesh panelling is positioned along the flank and under the arm where heat actually builds.

The back neck tape is printed rather than woven, avoiding the scratchy label that irritates some wearers.

Where you will wear it

Wear it to the match, obviously. But it works just as well at a bar, on a bike, or under a jacket on a cold Tuesday.

Care and washing

The print is rated for around fifty domestic washes when washed cold and dried naturally. Tumble drying roughly halves that.

Common questions
What is the difference between Home, Away and Third kits?

Home is the primary colourway worn at Coventry City's own ground, Away is the alternative for away fixtures, and Third is the occasional secondary release. All share identical Heavyweight heritage mesh polyester and fit.

Which size should I order for a growing child?

Adult S, M, L, XL, 2XL (true to US/EU standard) with growth room built in. If between sizes, size up; the cut stays wearable rather than baggy.

What detergent should I use?

A standard mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener — softener coats the mesh and noticeably reduces breathability.
