Man U must have both won and lost in their away kits. Liverpool have never won (in fact don't think have played) in an away kit so it's not them. Juventus must be a shout as they've lost enough, and were in their home kit when they beat Liverpool in 1985.

Correct with Juventus, Rogin. Home kit; won it in 1985 and lost it in 1973, 83, 98, 2003, 2015 & 2017. Away kit; won it in 1996 and lost it in 1997.
Both finals Man U lost, in 2009 and 2011, were in their away kit.

Milan are the team to have won it most in their away kit, wearing that famous all-white in their victories of 1963, 89, 90, 94, 2003 & 2007. And, as you say Steaua Bucharest won it, in 1986 - the only time they won it - in all-white (a strip specially commissioned for the final, we're told by denishurley) and Manchester United's 1968 win was the only one of their three in an away kit - of course, in the all-blue.

Originally posted by tracteurgarçon View Post4. I'm guessing one is Bayern (they lost in their away kit in '99) and they've certainly won and lost in their home kit.
Bayern Munich Home Kit; won it in 1975, 2001 & 2013, lost it in 1982, 87, 2010 & 2012. Away Kit; won it in 1974 & 1976, lost it in 1999.
If you like, Bayern are also the only side to draw the final in their away kit - also wearing it in their first game in the replayed 1974 final.

Correct ursus - put that together with Walt's three answers and Question 3 is all done:
The clubs who played and lost their only final in change/away kits:
Club Brugge 1978
AS Roma 1984
Sampdoria 1992
Arsenal 2006
But there's a flag on the play and I'm going to ask the Museum of Jerseys to double-check that was indeed the Brugge away kit in 1978. Or did they just reduce their blue and black stripes to a trim in that period? They wore a similar all-white strip in both legs of their 1976 UEFA Cup final v Liverpool. Liverpool did not have to change from their all-red home or away. Hmm.

Cheers Ursus.
Denis can stand down (for now, anyway - long way to go yet). Was being lazy. Was trying to watch Scotland V Costa Rica at the time (unwatchable as it turns out) and my "research" only got as far as this, from the Brugge home leg of that semi ...
... spotted our old mucker, Romeo Benetti* in the 1978 version of the Juve away kit of the finals 18 and 19 years later, and panicked ... and bailed.
So Juve and Brugge both wore their home kits in the Turin leg of that 1977-78 semi then both wore away kits at the Jan Breydel epic. When football was football and men were every bit as hard as their facial hair would have you believe.
But anything that gets a picture of Franco Causio on this page is well worth it.Last edited by Alex Anderson; 23-03-2018, 22:49. Reason: *rather, his left nipple took my eye out ...

Milan: Home Kit Won in 1969 and lost in 1958 & 1993; Away Kit won it in 1963, 89, 90, 94, 2003 & 2007 and lost in 1995 & 2005
So we have Bayern, Juventus and Milan for Question 4 - just one more to get.

Originally posted by seand View PostBarcelona: one of each for Barca...... Home kit lost 94, won 15; Away kit won 92, lost 86. You can fill in the gaps if you like Alex, like some sort of catenaccio sweeper.
But yeah - Barca also won it in their home kit in 2006, 09, 11 and 15 and lost it in their home kit in 1961.
So Question 4 is done too:
The four clubs other than Real Madrid to have both won and lost finals in both their home and change/away kits:
Barcelona
Bayern Munich
Juventus
Milan

1992, Barca in all-orange v Sampdoria in white top with blue shorts (and all the other loveliness of detail which makes Samp's kit so utterly gorgeous)
2000, Real Madrid in all black v Valencia in all orange.
