Coventry's players will wear a 1987-inspired replica kit in Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie against Southampton to mark the 25th anniversary of the club's famous 3-2 Wembley triumph over Tottenham. The strip, provided a clash does not occur with the opposition, will be worn for each of the rounds City participate in this season's competition.
Coventry commercial director Justin Tose told the club's official website:
"It was a fantastic era for the club and that blue and white striped shirt is synonymous with the famous victory. The day we take on Southampton will be almost 25 years to the day that Coventry beat Bolton in the third round to begin that great journey. So we will take that opportunity to celebrate that time and the shirt will be part of that." "The cup final win in 1987 is the greatest moment in the club's history and it's right that those achievements should be honoured.
