Have a plan to have some 1978 tops made, have contacts in India who can make them absoulutely indistinguishable from the originals. Any size and both long and short sleeve versions. I am thinking of a run of about 100-200 to make it worthwhile.
What would be the interest?
Anyone willing to lend me one, to get size of diamonds , material and colour spot on.

Won't there be a copyright issue with the SFA preventing you from doing this?

I was going to have one specially made, but I'll buy one of yours.
BTW it's not the SFA who's trademark you would infringe. Do you notice how every major club, and both the English and Scottish national teams, have changed their badges in recent years? Well that's because they had never registered them as trademarks, and anyone has a right to use the old ones.
No the trademark you're probably infringing is Umbro International.

Aye, the originals are going for over £100 each on eBay these days.
I'll take a "L" one when they're done. Although it may have to be "XL" if this festive season continues as it's started!!

Dear All
Thought I would receive a positive response but unless an original one is located and someone willing to lend it and allow it to be sent to India we are stuck.
As far as I can make out the badge can be copied from the Toffs 60's early 70's top, but need to know how the diamonds are put on size's etc. Could attempt to work it out from various photo's but if it is going to be done it should be done properly.
So unless there is a very trusting soul out there we are stuck, but I will solve the problem ......eventually, no fear.

Here's a plan - †
orders/deposits in for 100 tops - add £1 to cost of each to cover buying original off ebay. †Copy it, dish out the 100 tops then reauction the original and donate proceeds to sunshine appeal.
If it goes well, we could always auction another 100
Put me down for a medium short sleeve.

One of each, XL, he said, being optimistic about the diet.
