Kits during 1950s

1954 - 1962

During the period 1954–1962, CSKA relied on domestically produced kits, with several different variations being used. During this period, short-sleeved kits also appeared, with both long- and short-sleeved versions being used simultaneously [note: for convenience, we have shown only the short-sleeved version when available]. The primary kit featured a red V-neck collar, although a white variant occasionally appeared. Later, white or red crew-neck collars and a red polo-style collar were also used. A new red-and-white stripe design appeared as well, this time not centered on either color, with a white V-neck collar. The white kit was increasingly used as the first-choice kit, featuring either a V-neck or a white polo collar. In certain matches, a red collar was used, as well as the atypical-for-CSKA red horizontal stripe across the chest. The shorts were again plain white, red, or black. The socks were red, white, or black, and in addition to plain versions, several types of horizontal red-and-white stripes were used. White socks with a single red horizontal stripe, black socks with a white stripe, and red socks with two white stripes on the cuff were also used.

 

1950

In 1950, CSKA used two domestically produced variations. Instead of a club crest, a white five-pointed star with the red letters NV ("People's Army") was used. White shorts were predominantly worn. The socks were plain red or red with two wide white bands.

 

1948 - 1954

During the period 1948–1954, CSKA relied on domestically produced kits, with several different variations being used. Only long-sleeved shirts were worn, although in hot weather some players rolled up their sleeves. Initially, a shirt with a red collar and laces was used, later replaced by a crew-neck version in either red or white. In the middle of the period, a fine vertical red-and-white stripe design with a rounded white collar appeared. One interesting feature of this era was the use of a red shirt with a white collar, buttons, and cuffs. The white away kit was used very rarely and featured either a red V-neck collar or a white polo-style collar. A third kit was also used, green with white sleeves and black or white shorts. Throughout the period, the crest in the form of a sewn patch appeared only rarely on the kit, positioned either in the center or on the left side of the chest. The shorts were plain white, red, or black. The socks were mainly plain red, black, or white, or featured horizontal red-and-white stripes. It was common for different players in the same match to wear different sock designs.
