Red-and-white stripes and Bramall Lane go back well over a century. At TOFFS we recreate retro Sheffield United shirts from the 1920s to the late 1970s, including two FA Cup Finals. Our classic Sheffield United kits are 100% cotton, with no modern sponsor or manufacturer logos.

The Cutlers become the Blades

Sheffield United were founded on 22 March 1889 and have always played at Bramall Lane, which hosted its first game in 1862. The club started in white shirts and blue shorts, tried narrow red stripes in 1890–91 and brought the stripes back in 1892–93. Black shorts replaced blue in 1904. The first nickname was the Cutlers, but by 1912 the Blades, another nod to the city’s cutlery trade, had taken over.

Cup winners

United were league champions in 1897–98 and won the FA Cup in 1899, 1902, 1915 and 1925. In the 1925 final Fred Tunstall scored the only goal against Cardiff City. Our Sheffield United 1925 Fa Cup Final Retro Football Shirt celebrates that day, and the Sheffield United 1936 F.A Cup Final Retro Football Shirt recalls the club’s next final, lost to Arsenal.

Stripes through the decades

Our Sheffield United 1920s-1950s Retro Football Shirt and Sheffield United Late 1970s Retro Shirt span half a century at Bramall Lane. Younger Blades have their own kids’ range, and the Sheffield United Red Harrington Jacket leads our casualwear.
