White shirts and black shorts were Hereford United’s colours for most of the club’s life at Edgar Street. At TOFFS we recreate retro Hereford United shirts from the Bulls’ most famous decade, the 1970s. Our classic Hereford United kits are made from 100% cotton, with no modern sponsor or manufacturer logos.

White shirts, black shorts

Hereford United were founded in 1924 and played at Edgar Street throughout their history. The black shorts are said to date from after the Second World War, when the club ran short of white material and made shorts from blackout curtains. The Bulls nickname comes from the famous Hereford breed of cattle.

Newcastle, 1972

In 1972 Hereford, then a Southern League side, knocked top-flight Newcastle United out of the FA Cup. Ronnie Radford and Ricky George scored the goals in one of the competition’s best-known giant-killings. That summer the club was elected to the Football League, and it won the Third Division title in 1975–76.

The end of an era

Hereford United were wound up in December 2014, and a new club, Hereford FC, was formed to carry on football at Edgar Street. Our Hereford United 1970s Retro Football Shirt and Hereford United 1970s keep the Bulls’ best-known decade alive.
