Manchester United Football Shirt History
1982–83, 1983–84
Design: ADIDAS
Sponsor: SHARP
Rather than creating a unique design for the
away kit as they had done previously, adidas
launched a new white change strip
that simply
followed the design of the home, shadow
pinstripes et al.
The trim on the kit remained
predominantly black. When the shirt was
featured in the 83–84 Charity Shield victory
over Liverpool, the Sharp logo appeared in
black before returning to red for the remainder
of the season.
Worn in: The 82–83 Milk Cup final 2–1 defeat
to Liverpool. Also, the joyous 2–1 defeat of
Arsenal in the FA Cup 82–83 semi-final with a
late goal. Just don’t mention the shock 2–0
defeat to Bournemouth in the 83–84 FA Cup.
Worn by: Arnold Muhren, Ray Wilkins.
