The 1995/ 1996 season brought in the arrival of a new kit sponsor for the Blade – Avec. After a long association with Umbro, there was an air of anticipation as it was alleged Dave Bassett had a hand in choosing the designs of the new home and away kits. Never before had a kit been so left wing to what was expected as red and white diamonds replaced the traditional red and white stripes. Wards sat proudly upon the chest, the Sheffield brewery located on Ecclesall Road. This was to be the first season of 4 for the much loved South Yorkshire ale.

The away kit was purple and yellow halves. The first time a Blade kit was to be half and half and again, divided opinion.

we have now leant both designs to these wonderful Doggy bandanas that would be suitable for any dog. Adjustable strap and a choice between both designs. The pictures detail the sizes and it can be worn on the back, or under the chin.
