Got sent this earlier, and it kinda threw me, wondered if any of y guys knew anything more about it. Firstly was strange that we have black stripes, but I saw Heron and Kitcher in there so am sure it's us. Not sure what the trophies are down the front, and especially intrigued by the Blandford Tournament, as we were definitely in Hampshire back then no??

Any and all extra info, and random speculation appreciated
 
Not sure they are black and white stripes. The (green) grass and goalkeepers’ jerseys are a pale red in the photo. So I reckon the red and white stripes, which we wore then, have also become discoloured, into dark grey and white.
 
The guy's a Blandford fan after info about the FA Cup game with them, and yes you're probably right about the colour, I've no idea how sepia works over time. I've still never worn that centenary shirt to a match though
 
Its definitely a faded sepia type photo...you can see faint traces on the socks..
Coincidently Blandford knocked us out of the FA Cup that year 2-1 in a replay.
