The club was playing in the \u003cstrong\u003eEFL Championship\u003c\/strong\u003e, the English second division — an ultra-competitive league where every point scraped had the taste of blood and the mud of Ashton Gate. Manager \u003cstrong\u003eLee Johnson\u003c\/strong\u003e, who arrived in February 2016, was building something serious with a cohesive group, attacking play, and a strong identity. We're not talking about a fleeting club in the Championship — we're talking about a historic club that wants to make its mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eIn this squad, players like \u003cstrong\u003eLee Tomlin\u003c\/strong\u003e, a talented offensive recruit, or the experienced \u003cstrong\u003eAden Flint\u003c\/strong\u003e in defense, gave consistency to a team looking to surprise the big guns. \u003cstrong\u003eBobby Reid\u003c\/strong\u003e, a local boy, was starting to establish himself as a key player in Lee Johnson's system. The atmosphere at \u003cstrong\u003eAshton Gate\u003c\/strong\u003e was electric — a true old-school English football ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMoments etched into this shirt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe beginning of the Lee Johnson era\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLee Johnson took the reins of the club in the middle of the 2015-16 season, and the 2016-17 season was his first full one. This period marked the beginning of a coherent project, with a recognizable playing style and clear ambitions in the \u003cstrong\u003eChampionship\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAshton Gate, the renovated stadium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2016, \u003cstrong\u003eAshton Gate\u003c\/strong\u003e stadium had recently completed its major renovation, transforming the venue into a truly modern facility while retaining its popular soul. Playing away that season meant facing fortresses while defending a renovated home that the club was proud of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Lancer Scott sponsor — local roots\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLancer Scott\u003c\/strong\u003e is a construction and services company based in \u003cstrong\u003eSomerset and Bristol\u003c\/strong\u003e, a loyal club partner. Seeing this name on the 2016-17 away shirt is seeing the local economy supporting its team — a bond that goes beyond a simple sponsorship contract and tells something authentic about this club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eAuthentic vs Replica\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003eauthentic vintage shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e isn't a tourist shop souvenir — it's a shirt that existed on the pitch, in the stands, in the changing rooms. The finishes, the flocking, the fabric: everything tells of a specific era. It's not a reprint, not a reproduction. It's the \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal item\u003c\/strong\u003e, with its own history sewn into the seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis one has an \u003cstrong\u003e8\/10 condition\u003c\/strong\u003e — which is truly solid for a shirt of this generation. The \u003cstrong\u003eLancer Scott\u003c\/strong\u003e sponsor is clearly present, legible, intact. There's slight wear that confirms this shirt has lived, but nothing that diminishes its character or visual appeal. This is exactly what you expect from a \u003cstrong\u003ecollectible vintage shirt in good condition\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eVintage sizing guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line:height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esizes of vintage shirts\u003c\/strong\u003e do not follow current standards — even an XXL from 2016-17 can be surprising. The cuts of the era are often more fitted, shorter, with different armholes. A vintage XXL does not necessarily correspond to a modern XXL from Nike or Adidas. This is not an absolute rule, but it's a reality that every collector knows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore buying, measure your chest circumference and compare with the actual dimensions of the shirt if available. As a general rule, \u003cstrong\u003etake one size above your usual size\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want a comfortable and relaxed fit. If you want a more authentic player-like fit, stick to your actual size. The XXL of this \u003cstrong\u003eTFG Bristol City\u003c\/strong\u003e shirt will suit well-built individuals or those who appreciate a loose fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eWhy have it in your collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBristol City's TFG shirts\u003c\/strong\u003e are not common — it's a kit supplier that doesn't have the notoriety of an Umbro or a Hummel, and that's precisely what makes these pieces rare and interesting for a true collector. Finding a \u003cstrong\u003eBristol City 2016-17 away shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e in good condition, with its original sponsor intact, is already a real catch. This type of English Championship club shirt from the second half of the 2010s is becoming increasingly difficult to find in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eAn 8\/10 for a shirt from this era is not common. There aren't many in this condition still lingering in bins or on websites. Most of the examples you come across are crumpled, faded, with peeling flocking. Here you have a shirt that has retained its dignity. If \u003cstrong\u003eBristol City\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of your favorite clubs, or if you collect \u003cstrong\u003evintage English Championship shirts\u003c\/strong\u003e, this one definitely deserves a place in your wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eTo go further\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height:2.2;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bristol_City_F.C.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eBristol City F.C. — Wikipedia\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.footballkitarchive.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eFootball Kit Archive — Shirt History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.uefa.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eUEFA — European Football\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-style:italic;line-height:1.8;\"\u003eThis TFG-designed \u003cstrong\u003eBristol City 2016-17 away shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e is an honest, rare, and well-preserved piece — if you know what you're looking for, you already know this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bristol City","offers":[{"title":"XXL","offer_id":54010080592147,"sku":"194181","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/4839\/3235\/files\/eng_pm_2016-17-BRISTOL-CITY-SHIRT-XXL-194181_1.jpg?v=1775420817","url":"https:\/\/supporterid.com\/en\/products\/2016-17-bristol-city-shirt","provider":"SUPPORTER ID®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
