The Real Madrid 1984-85 away jersey is a quintessential artifact of mid-80s football aesthetics. Featuring a regal deep purple base, it embodies elegance and strength — an unconventional yet bold identity for Los Blancos.
 
The iconic Trefoil logo, paired with the simplified, monochrome Real Madrid crest in vibrant yellow embroidery, delivers maximum visual contrast. This minimalist treatment highlights the era’s restraint and focus on clean, emblematic elements rather than flashy graphics.
 
The Zanussi sponsor – rendered in a punchy yellow – is front and center. As one of the earliest examples of sponsor branding in Spanish football, it adds not only historical value but also typifies the industrial-meets-sport design language of the 80s.
 
The collar design is another standout detail. A structured fold-over collar with a V-neck insert channels a classic silhouette, while the white piping along the shoulders and arms injects just enough flair without overwhelming the clean layout.
 
Material-wise, the jersey features that unmistakable 80s polyester sheen – durable, lightweight, and built for performance under the Bernabéu lights.
 
This shirt was worn during a rebuilding phase under Amancio and Luis Molowny — before the emergence of La Quinta del Buitre. Its restrained, noble visual identity foreshadows the dominance that would soon follow.
