Score Draw Retro Everton 1995 Home Out Shirt

Roll it back to the Dogs of War era with the Score Draw Retro Everton 1995 Home Blackout Shirt in Black, a retro-inspired kit based on the shirt worn by the players for the ’95 cup final.

Featuring the club crest of the time and the fondly remembered NEC sponsor logo, the jersey’s an almost one-to-one recreation of the original, done out in black for an understated, casual look.

Other details such as the single-button black placket and striped collar are present and correct, while the subtle integrated front graphic displays the club’s famous name and motto.

The game itself was Everton versus Manchester United, and in the dugout, Joe Royle versus Alex Ferguson. Royle’s Dogs of War were on a high after dispatching Spurs 4-1 in the semi-final, while United had edged out Crystal Palace via a replay.

The many thousands of Evertonians who had descended on London weren’t to be denied, and nor were the Toffees on the pitch, as Paul Rideout nodded home the rebound after Graham Stuart had hit the bar. One-nil to the Blues after 30 minutes, and that was enough to secure the win.

Captain Dave Watson lifted the trophy, and the players did laps of honour – Amo in a blue beret, Big Dunc wearing a blue nose, with scarves and rosettes everywhere. And at the centre of it all, an absolute classic football shirt.

Please note that this blackout edition of the shirt does note feature any FA Cup branding or commemorative embroidery.
