To correspond with the footage used from the 1979 League Cup final, the Saints players wore replica Southampton kits, featuring yellow shirts and blue shirts. However, not all the players featured in the fictional Saints side had the same strip. While some had the correct kit, featuring a blue band running down the sleeves with yellow Admiral logos, other players wore a shirt that had plain sleeves. Furthermore, a couple of players, including Ian McShane's character, had the wrong typeface for their numbers on the back of the shirts. Admiral had a distinctive font at the time, but a couple of players have plain numbers more familiar with Umbro shirts of the period.
