DETROIT COUGARS (HOME)
The black home shirt of the Detroit Cougars was way ahead of its time. Roster numbers on the front, the reverse and the sleeves along with players names emblazoned across the back of the jersey made it an iconic image from the fabled “Summer of 67.” an era which will always remain special to all Glentoran supporters.
This is the shirt worn by the Glens during the notorious Bangu riot incident with the boys from Brazil, and on the night when the Glens took on the world’s greatest keeper Gordon Banks and his Stoke City side at the University Stadium in Detroit.
The black Cougars shirt is available exclusively through the GCTretro online store. Made from heavy cotton, you can personalise your shirt by choosing the roster number and name of your favourite player from the squad list at the foot of this page. Alternatively why not have your own name on the shirt or simply “Cougars 67”, a fitting tribute to the Glentoran players who crossed the United States of America 40 years ago.
DETROIT COUGARS (AWAY)
The white Detroit Cougars away shirt saw action in Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. Again this superb reproduction of an epic Glentoran jersey has been created solely for GCTretro. This is the shirt worn in the win over Cagliari in Chicago, and in the magnificent contests against Cerro Montevideo in the Big Apple and Shamrock Rovers in Boston.
Again the facility exists to personalise this striking shirt. You can chose from a who’s who of Glentoran legends. The bespectacled Eric Ross, Glentoran’s all time leading goal scorer Trevor Thompson, or even the charismatic John Colrain the side’s player/manager.
Alternatively why not once again use your own name and numbering on the shirt.
Jilly Rizzo’s bar on 52nd Street may have long since disappeared but with GCTretro you can still obtain a striking souvenir of 1967, a remarkable season for Glentoran Football Club.
Both shirts are available in sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL
