1995 - Manchester United away kit
Without a shadow of a doubt, the most controversial football strip of all time. Popular amongst the fans, the 1995-96 away kit had already become one of the best selling of all time despite the teams poor results when wearing it. In April 1996, United trailed Southampton 3-0 at half-time. Alex Ferguson forced his players to change strips and blamed the grey tone for the teams performance, claiming the players were camouflaged on the pitch by blending into the fans in the background. United still lost the game 3-1 and the kit was subsequently withdrawn from production two years ahead of schedule. It's record: 1 Win, 1 Draw, 4 Defeats! Interestingly, this wasn't the first time United had changed kits at half-time. During an FA Cup tie in 1903, they were forced to change from their familiar red strip into their blue and white away kit. Whilst adverse weather conditions were to blame for that change - they also lost the game 3-1.
