A new version was introduced in 1981.  Instead of the white and red stripes down the arms, it had two yellow and black stripes, thus matching the black shorts and socks. It also had a white number 1 on the back, instead of red and the new-style red, white and blue Admiral logo.  In 1982, it made its final appearance, paired with the new-style black shorts and socks that had been introduced with the next yellow goalkeeping uniform, at the end of 1981. The jersey above belonged to Joe Corrigan and is part of the Neville Evans Collection at www.englandmatchshirts.com. Photo kindly supplied by Simon Shakeshaft.
