EVERTON KITS 1993/94

Everton brought back white socks in 1993 with their new home kit, and needed a stunning comeback win over Wimbledon on the last day of the season to stay in the Premier League.

The salmon pink and navy kit was retained, and a new third kit was introduced which was a teamwear effort (Manchester City had the exact same third kit!). The goalkeeper kits from the previous season were also retained, but Neville Southall wore them with black teamwear shorts and socks. On the last day of the season he wore the grey shirt with blue shorts and socks.

EVERTON KITS 1994/95

Everton had a much better season in 1994/95 but had started badly until Mike Walker got sacked and was replaced by Joe Royle. Mid-table league finish and an FA Cup win too - a match in which they wore their new kit design.

The home kit was unchanged and the salmon pink kit got retained as a third choice for its third season of use. A new white and grey away kit was launched, from which Neville Southall wore those shorts and socks with his black jersey, which was also kept on. I think he used the grey shirt too, and a green shirt that was identical to the one Peter Schmeichel had previously worn for Manchester United.

For the 1995 FA Cup final, Everton premiered their new kit for 1995/96, but would carry the NEC logo for the one and only time. Southall wore a new Umbro kit in yellow, which would be the following season's goalkeeper kit (but with black shorts instead of yellow).

CHELSEA KITS 1993/94

Chelsea brought out a new home kit in 1993, with sponsors Commodore deciding to promote their Amiga brand of computers (yes, I had an Amiga years ago, that's how I discovered Sensible Soccer )... though the away kit from 1992/93 was retained but kept the Commodore logo.

I had to improvise a bit with the home kit collar, as there was no real best fit collar style for it.

A yellow and black striped third kit (Umbro teamwear) got introduced during the season against Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday (who ironically had the same design as their previous away kit when Umbro made their kit!)

Goalkeepers had the new grey kit that Umbro introduced for 1993/94, and there was also a red shirt, but I'd only ever seen Dmitriy Kharin wear the red shirt which he always wore with his tracksuit bottoms.

Home kit uses collar 17
Away kit uses collar 16

The 90s were the peak of Umbro(for me much better than Nike and Adidas at the time), it's a shame that nowadays it's difficult for them to launch something that pleases everyone.


I love it when you bring back some relics from the era

Thanks, ahhh there's definitely more to come... talking of 90's...

QUEENS PARK RANGERS KITS 1995/96

QPR switched to View From, who were a brand that made gear for the Great Britain athletics team for whenever they were in non-Olympic international competition at the time. The kits were fairly simple looking in an era when flash graphics were the norm.

The away kit was quite a departure from the R's usual red and black change strips, so that, somewhat cunningly, they still had "blue and white hoops" on the road, albeit in a much darker navy shade with pinstripes. But whilst this kit was OK against teams in white, unsurprisingly a white third strip soon followed for use against teams in blue.

At Newcastle, QPR wore the white third kit - though in years gone by they'd worn the hoops there... not ideal but passable (just as well West Bromwich Albion weren't in the Prem back then........ they'd have been well and truly stuck!).

Goalkeepers had three colours to choose from, all the same design and interestingly all were paired with black shorts that had the logo in the shirt colours.

Despite the fairly smart set of kits, QPR got relegated at the end of the season. The home kit did get retained for the 1996/97 season, but with Ericsson's logo on top of where the Compaq logo had been, and a new red change kit (as the Football League were still finicky about teams wearing navy because of match officials, at the time).

All kits use collar 1

WEST HAM UNITED KITS 1983-85

The Hammers had new kits in 1983 that saw a return to "regular" sky blue sleeves after two seasons of "raglan" sleeves, and a sky blue chest band that would also feature the club's first sponsor Avco Loans, who had either put "AVCO" or "AVCO LOANS" on the front.

The away shirt was a standard adidas pinstripe template, whilst the goalkeeper jersey was a polo collar jersey that only seemed to be used by Football League clubs due to somewhat outdated restrictions on goalkeepers' jerseys. I've only illustrated the green goalkeeper shirt here, as I'm unusure if a second colour choice was available - there was a white shirt a few years later that I'll be posting next, but didn't appear until 1986 it seems...

Home and away kits use collar 7

WEST HAM UNITED KITS 1985-87

A more radical kit design for West Ham came in 1985, when adidas dropped the sky blue sleeves, and instead went for a claret shirt with sky blue pinstriped hoops and white trim. The away kit was the same template but in white, paired with sky blue shorts - I've done sky blue socks here, but more often than not, West Ham wore the white home socks with the away kit.

Any doubts over the new look would be forgotten about as the Hammers had their best ever league season to date - finishing 3rd in Division One in 1985/86, as strike duo Tony Cottee and Frank McAvennie terrorised top flight defences that year.

Phil Parkes kept the same polo collared shirt he wore since 1983, though from 1985 the Football League relaxed their regulations on goalkeeper attire, so a more regular adidas shirt was available, but was hardly used.

Parkes also wore a curious white shirt against Norwich City in the 1986/87 season, featuring the older Avco Loans logotype and elbow padding, but no badge or manufacturers logo. It may have been a shirt he obtained from the sports shop that he co-owned at the time.

WEST HAM UNITED KITS 1980-83

Let's go back a few more years - West Ham switched to adidas in 1980 after winning the FA Cup in Admiral kits, and so took part in the European Cup Winners' Cup as a second tier side.

The home kit had raglan sleeves, and a full rendering of the club crest, paired with white shorts and socks. The away kit stuck with white, paired with sky blue shorts and socks by default, though the Hammers often went for an all-white look, including in the 1981 League Cup final.

Goalkeepers had a plain adidas-branded shirt without adidas trim because of the aforementioned Football League rules. The blue shirt is one I've guessed, because after West Ham returned to the top flight, they would have faced Arsenal in their infamous green and navy "bluebottle" kit in 1982/83, so a different shirt colour would have been used.

WALES KITS 1984-85

Reposting this after originally putting them in my first post on this thread, but I've decided that it'd be best I start putting an index with direct links to posts to help people on here find the kits they want. ahh scrap that, character limit......... but keeping this post anyway!

Anyhow, bit of history - in 1984 Wales had new adidas strips, having come within seconds of qualifying for Euro '84 ( )... the contrasting white sleeves made way for a smart red shirt with white and tonal red hoops on the front, a design still popular with our fans even now.

The away kit was more basic in comparison, but stuck to the favoured yellow and green change colour scheme. Goalkeepers continued to wear the adidas shirt with black sleeves and upper panel until 1985, though on occasion Neville Southall would wear the outfield shorts and socks.

Home and away kits use collar 7
Goalkeepers use collar 10 - standard adidas black shorts/socks used for both green and sky blue shirt options.
