That proper striped kit was actually brought in during the season, near the end after Kendall took over. So the diamonds didn't last a full season.
I recall Kendall saying something about being very surprised at the kit and that Sheffield United should play in proper red and white stripes, and so the club changed the shirts early.
I don't think that's quite right.
That was back in the days of changing shirts every 2 seasons. I'm sure the diamond kit was dropped after one season and we reverted to stripes. We kept the Yellow/Purple halved away shirt for 2 seasons.
I'm positive we didn't change shirts mid-season.
