ARSENAL SHIRT HISTORY1984–85, 1985–86
Design: UMBRO
Sponsor: JVC
Umbro removed the navy blue from the club’s
next home shirt, but strangely persevered with
it as a trim on the shorts and socks. The shirt
included quite an elaborate wrap-over round
neck trimmed with three red bands, along with
subtle shadow pinstripes.
The Umbro diamond
trim was included on the socks. It was to be
the last Umbro kit worn by the club. The side
finished seventh in the league both seasons
this kit was worn.
Worn in: Some high scoring wins over Stoke
(4–0), Watford (4–3) and West Brom (4–0) in
the 84–85 season. Also a tremendous 7–2 win
vs Hereford in that season’s FA Cup third round.
Worn by: Viv Anderson, Paul Mariner,
Brian Marwood. Kenny Sansom.
