The 1992 League Cup final is remembered for two things from a Manchester United perspective.
Firstly, it signified the club’s inaugural victory in the competition, with the Red Devils narrowly defeating Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the historic Wembley Stadium. Secondly – and perhaps just as memorably – it introduced the world to that pre-match jacket, a vibrant relic of early ’90s football fashion.
Although the match itself cannot be rewatched, the jacket can be experienced once more. Manchester United, in collaboration with adidas, is bringing it back in all its retro glory for a new wave of fans and style enthusiasts.
The design is quintessentially vintage: featuring a black base with vivid turquoise sleeve accents and a striking abstract pattern in black, white, and green on the lower half. It is completed with the classic Adidas text logo and a special commemorative crest that reads: “League Cup Final, Wembley 1992.”

According to Footy Headlines, the reissue is projected for the first half of 2026, and this won’t be the only nostalgic item. United’s iconic “snowflake” away shirt from 1990–92, used in the final itself, will also be making a return.
Over thirty years later, United is offering fans the chance to own two classic pieces of club history—garments that encapsulate both a significant trophy success and the bold flair of ’90s football style.
