National Football Shirt Day arrives in the UK on November 19 and it is a chance for people to wear their favourite shirt while donating to Cancer Research.
To get you in the mood for the big day, we delved in to the Sunderland Echo archives to find these scenes from Farringdon, Durham Road, Seaburn Dene and the Stadium of Light as well as plenty of others.
So let’s get ready to cheer on the memories with a look back at these football strip scenes.
1. Super at Seaburn Dene

3. A star signing

4. So appealing in 2011
