Manchester United Kit 1984–85, 1985–86


Manchester United Football Shirt History
1984–85, 1985–86

Design: ADIDAS


Sponsor: SHARP

Complete with exactly the same V-neck and

cuffs as the home shirt, the new
white away kit

also featured the same shoulder panels and

piping, now in black and red respectively. The

rather nice pair of black shorts with red

pinstripes also doubled as the home kit’s

change pair.
A new sock design saw the adidas

logo embroidered onto the turnover. Despite

their FA Cup success, Utd still couldn’t reach

higher than fourth in Division 1.

Worn in: The incredible 2–1 FA Cup semi-final

replay over Liverpool in the 84–85 season, with

United triumphant after being 1–0 down at half

time before Mark Hughes’ fantastic goal.

Worn by: Jesper Olsen, Alan Brazil.
