The 90’s was the decade that style forgot, especially in the middle of the decade where many clubs were turning out in some really shocking kits.

Whilst the top flight teams caught a bit of the abstract over- the-top design bug it was all too frequent in the lower divisions with manufacturers such as Ribero, Matchwinner, Super League and even some clubs’ own brands being the worst offenders.

Thankfully common sense started to prevail towards the new millennium and the abstract designs and complicated patterns were replaced by simple and stylish efforts.

Ironically since this article above appeared in the Grauniad (sic) Arsenal have had two more kits which have divided the Gunners faithful – namely the white away kit of last season because of white being synonymous with Spurs (despite the fact Arsenal wore white as an away kit up to the mid 60’s) and this season’s home kit not having white sleeves.

Yep, the mid-late 90s were all about shirts that looked good with jeans. You must remember though that this was the period where EVERYONE seemed to be wearing a football top.

Andy, you don’t know where someone could lay their hands on a Cup final replay shirt do you? Were replicas ever made?

There is a story behind the Palace 1990 Cup Final Replay shirt. Apparently the club wanted something different for the replay and captain Geoff Thomas suggested the kit as shown as they were his school team colours!

I went to watch Stoke City V Man Utd Reserves in the 95/96 winter. United wore the Manchester United grey away 1995-96, this was before the Southampton away PL game. Stoke generally only opened 1 stand at the old Victoria ground for reserve games. As a bit of a kit connoisseur I was surprised United wore very bright red standard issue Umbro Red shorts and socks, as there was no clash with the Stoke kit. Ferguson’s comments after the Southampton away PL game then made sense of this. I imagine the situation was worse for the reserves in a half empty ground!
