OTHER Anderlecht unveiled its new away kit for this season on Thursday evening. It is a sober white shirt that refers to the 1976 jersey, when the purple-and-white side won its first European trophy. The Adidas logo on the chest is also from that period. “Fifty years ago, Anderlecht made football history.
In the final of the Cup Winners' Cup, purple and white beat West Ham 4-2 and claimed their first European success,” the club said in presenting the new shirt. “That victory marked the start of an era in which RSCA left its mark on the European stage, always in its recognisable white shirts and purple shorts.” “Fifty years after Anderlecht's first European success, the iconic white shirts with purple stripes are back. Paired with purple shorts and purple socks, just like in 1976.”
