I am on a global hunt for a shirt in XXL with yellow and black verticles. 52 inches at the chest. My old timers team didn't expect a larger lad at outside right. I am on the South Park Beach in a drastic effort to downsize. Berwick Rangers and Borussia Dortmund 2001/02 are the best bets but, on the right, Manchester City in 1998/1999 had a third jersey along the same lines.
Later: This site is a valiable tool in this effort.
Here are another two three candidates, Vitesse from Holland, AEK from Greece and Scotland's East Fife.

Dortmund lead has disappeared. Emails flying on the Berwick Rangers and Man City still.

A window of hope opens with Aris from the Greek league.<p>Later: it is more AEK than Aris as described on this site.

Oh rocks: Vitesse! Or their homepage: here. <small><small>I could ask relatives to ask if they ask to ask where they ask to get to ask if they ask and then ask?</small></small>

Cool. I was speaking with a guy in California this afternoon about the Dortmund shirt - no go but he put me on to Aris in Greece. I have also had three responses from the UK and a private connection in Holland. You would think that getting a XXL shirt from one of four professional teams in Europe would not be so difficult.

Alan, I wouldn't have thought getting hold of a recent City away shirt would be difficult, but by 'eck it is. I thionk the key word is "recent". Too recent for a company suchs as "toffs" to stock them, and just slightly too long ago for anyone to still have stocks.
I will ask around at our next City supporters meeting to see if anyone has one they no longer want.

This is a mighty, crusade Steve: the get Al a shirt that keeps him looking like a silly git movement. Thanks for asking around.

Got the first steps in a haggle for a Vitesse from a UK vendor...
