Thames Ironworks 1960s Retro Shirt – Small Men’s

A superb Thames Ironworks retro football shirt produced by The Screeching Parrot, inspired by the club that would go on to become West Ham United.

The shirt features a traditional light blue base with two claret horizontal bands across the chest, finished with a claret crew neck and matching sleeve cuffs. The simple design gives it a distinctive early football-shirt appearance and makes it a great piece for West Ham collectors.

Thames Ironworks FC was formed in 1895 by workers at the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company. The club was wound up in 1900 before being reformed as West Ham United, making the Thames Ironworks name an important part of the Hammers’ history.

This reproduction from The Screeching Parrot takes its inspiration from the much earlier shirts associated with the club and provides an unusual alternative to conventional West Ham retro shirts.
