1995-1997 - Manchester United third kit

MUFC 'Official Merchandise'

Whoever designed United's 1995 third strip probably never worked for Umbro again. Based on the Manchester United kit worn between 1903 and 1916, it was a terrible Sheffield Wednesday look-a-like kit. It was also worn in the abysmal 6-3 defeat at Southampton. On the positive side, it featured, 'watermarked' into the fabric, the name of every player to have ever appeared for the club and the original Manchester United crest. It was also worn at The Riverside when United collected yet another Premiership crown.

Middle of the jersey printed ECF 1968. This is to commemorate the 13th ECF ('European Cup Final') in 1967-68, UEFA's premier club football tournament. The competition was won by Manchester United, who beat Benfica 4-1 in the final at Wembley Stadium, London on 28May68. This is the 1st European Cup title for MUFC. The European Cup title marked the tenth year since the Munich air disaster, in which 8 United players were killed and their manager, Matt Busby, was left close to death.
