Man Utd shirt history pt 45. In 1994, Utd went back to Wembley for the FA Cup Final. We beat Chelsea 4-0. 2 penalties helped us along the way to securing our first double. We wore the red shirt with cup final embroidery below the badge. It was the last cup final where clubs wore PL sleeve patches.

Man Utd shirt history pt 42. In 1992 Utd switched kit supplier to Umbro. They went extremely retro with laced up collars. They said the 3rd shirt was based on Newton Heath’s original colours which was factually incorrect. The Premier League also introduced a sleeve patch #MUFC #UTFR
