Manchester United Football Shirt History
1984–85, 1985–86
Design: ADIDAS
Sponsor: SHARP
There was quite a change on the kit front in
84–85. adidas remained as manufacturer, but
ditched their famous three-stripe
trim on the
shirt, replacing it with intimidating white
shoulder panels trimmed with black piping.
The club badge was placed centrally below the
bold V-neck and the adidas logo moved to
each sleeve.
The shorts now also featured fine
red pinstripes.
Worn in: A tense 2–2 FA Cup semi-final in
84–85 vs Liverpool, followed by the glorious
1–0 win over Everton in the final. Also, the 5–0
thrashing of Newcastle the same season with a
great solo goal by Gordon Strachan.
Worn by: Norman Whiteside, Kevin Moran (the
first player to be sent off in an FA Cup final).
