ARSENAL SHIRT HISTORY1983–84 to 1985–86
Design: UMBRO
Sponsor: JVC
This paler yellow and navy kit was unveiled a
season early to replace the unpopular green
affair and to appease fans who were calling for
a return to more traditional colours. This really
nice shirt incorporated a shadow stripe design
and red trim on the V-neck and cuffs. The
Umbro diamond trim also made its first
appearance within an Arsenal kit on the socks
turnover. Also worn very occasionally with the
white home shorts.
Worn in: The 6–2 win over Aston Villa with five
Woodcock goals and the shock 1–0 defeat to
York in the 84–85 FA Cup. Also worn at Spurs
in 85–86, one of the few times Arsenal have
not worn red in a North London derby.
Worn by: Brian Talbot, Paul Davis.
