Man Utd to re-issue iconic 1992 League Cup final jacket | OneFootball

The 1992 League Cup final is remembered for two things from a Manchester United perspective.

Firstly, it marked the club’s first-ever triumph in the competition, as the Red Devils edged Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the old Wembley Stadium. Secondly – and perhaps just as fondly – it gave the world that pre-match jacket, a technicolour time capsule of early ’90s football fashion.

While the match itself can’t be replayed, the jacket can be relived – and Manchester United, alongside adidas, are doing just that, restoring it in all its retro glory for a new generation of fans and fashion aficionados.

The design is pure vintage: a black base with vibrant turquoise sleeve panels, and a bold abstract pattern in black, white, and green across the lower half. It’s finished with a classic Adidas text logo and a special commemorative crest reading: "League Cup Final, Wembley 1992."

Footy Headlines state the reissue is expected in the first half of 2026 – and it won’t be the only blast from the past. United’s legendary “snowflake” away shirt from 1990–92, worn in the final itself, will also return.

More than three decades on, United are giving supporters the chance to own two timeless pieces of club history – garments that capture both a landmark trophy win and the fearless swagger of ’90s football style.
