Watford launch 1984 FA Cup final Breast Cancer Awareness shirt

Watford Observer · Jak Netting

The all-pink shirt, the colour synonymous with Breast Cancer Awareness, is a reimagined version of the Hornets’ 1984 FA Cup final strip.

In keeping with this, the shirt features a throwback IVECO sponsorship on the front of the shirt, as well as ‘FA Cup Final, Wembley 1984’ beneath the classic club crest, in its new-look pink colour scheme.

Watford also confirmed that for every sale of the shirt, the club and manufacturer will be making a donation to charity, “to continue vital life-saving research and support in the fight against breast cancer”.

This kit is available in men’s and women’s sizes, with both versions costing £50, but unfortunately there are no kids’ sizes available for this release.

1984 was Watford’s first-ever appearance in an FA Cup final, a momentous occasion in front of 100,000 fans at the old Wembley Stadium.

It was not to be for the Hornets on that day, however, as Everton battled to a 2-0 victory to claim the trophy.

Andy Gray scored the Toffees’ second, when he infamously was believed to have fouled Hornets goalkeeper Steve Sherwood before heading home to put Everton two in front.
