The club won two consecutive FA Cups in 1981 and 1982 as well as finishing in a top five league position on five occasions.
A fruitful spell in the history of Tottenham Hotspur accompanied by a number of iconic home kits.
3. 1983-85 Kit
Perhaps best known as the shirt Tottenham wore in their victorious 1984 UEFA Cup campaign, this kit is widely regarded as one of the Club’s very best.
The shirt was very similar to its predecessors with its continued stripe design that laid beneath the white. It had a thin blue collar design that was reflected on the sleeves.
The kit was memorable for a few reasons. Most notably because of the UEFA Cup, but also because it was the first ever Tottenham kit to have a major shirt sponsor. Holsten began sponsoring the club in 1983 and continued to do so right up until 1995.
Holsten became a staple on Spurs shirts and is often considered one of the main reasons that made Spurs kits of the 80s and 90s great.
