Watford have launched a special pink replica of their 1984 FA Cup final shirt to raise funds for breast cancer awareness. The commemorative kit, priced at £50, sees the club and its manufacturer donate from each sale to support vital research.
The club announced the launch on Tuesday, stating, "We’re proud to launch our 1983/84 FA Cup Final shirt turned pink, in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness." The initiative offers supporters a tangible way to back the cause while celebrating a key moment in the club's history.
Design honours 1984 final
The shirt is a reimagined version of the strip worn in Watford's first FA Cup final appearance. It features the original IVECO sponsor logo on the front and the text "FA Cup Final, Wembley 1984" beneath the club crest, all rendered in the new pink colour scheme. That 1984 final saw Everton defeat Watford 2-0 in front of 100,000 fans at the old Wembley Stadium.
Availability and current context
The shirt is available in men's and women's sizes exclusively through the club's official website, with no children's sizes offered. The launch coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month and provides a positive focal point for fans as the first team handles a challenging Championship season. Watford currently sit 20th in the table with eight points from eight games, having lost their last two matches.
Proceeds from every shirt sold will go directly to breast cancer charities, funding life-saving research and support services. The club's next match at Vicarage Road is against Burnley this Saturday.
