Coventry City 1978 Admiral Away Shirt

In 1975, Admiral and Coventry City changed the game with the introduction of the tramline kit, redefining football shirt design. The early versions made a bold statement, featuring striking side stripes that extended from the shirt onto the shorts, all while retaining Coventry's classic colours. Then, during the 1978-79 season, Jimmy Hill struck one of the most controversial kit deals in football history, aiming to rival the commercial successes of First Division clubs.

The standout feature of this daring design? A chocolate brown colour scheme that divided opinions but ensured the kit would never be forgotten.

Fast forward to 2024, and we’ve recreated this iconic piece of football heritage in its original glory, celebrating its legacy and enduring impact on the sport.
