What did she wear?

What did she wear?

Post by Basil is a Gooner »

http://news.arseblog.com/2015/04/arsena ... cup-final/

Arsenal last wore yellow in the FA Cup final in 1980, when we were beaten 1-0 by West Ham. The previous season we were in yellow to beat Man Utd 3-2, and the year before that too when we lost to Ipswich.

The double in 1970/71 was secured in the away strip, and the 1950 final was won in the same colours when we beat Liverpool 2-0.

In the finals in 1998, 2002, 2003, 2005 and last season, we wore traditional red and white.

With the 1979 final the first game I can really remember, I’ve always had a special affinity for the yellow and blue kit, so I like this news.

It also means my outfit for the game is sorted.

Do you know I am actually quite surprised we haven't worn the yellow since Brooking fell over and got hit on the head by that cross in 1980! :shock: My fucked up brain still tells me we wore yellow at least once since then... :| :D

Fantastic news. It's about time we wore yellow in a cup final again. Those finals of 1950, 1971 and 1979 were the ones I remember reading about and seeing images of as a child when I first started reading about the history of the club. Throw in the other finals in 1978 and 1980 and we always seemed to wear yellow in a final. The FA cup finals since have all been in red so it's good to see us back in yellow. Thank fuck it's not the blue kit.

Same here - went out the next day and scored late to win 3-2 after leading 2-0 - fantastic - just like my heroes!

Arsenal on east side of stadium, Villa on west as it is convenient for their trains.
