Manchester United Kits 2011/2012

nemanja15 · 30th December 2010, 22:51

I know it is early for this but seeing as some supposed kits have already been leaked here we go!

I know it's a crappy photo but it seems this is how Nike have laid out some photos for all next season's kits, as the site this photo is from - Football shirtculture.com - step into the world of football shirts | Football Shirt Culture.com have Barca and Arsenal's for next season too.

Allforone · 30th December 2010, 22:52

I like it.

B Cantona · 30th December 2010, 22:59

So red, sponsored by AON and made by Nike then?

Nate Dogg · 30th December 2010, 23:00

Not much difference to the current shirt, with the obvious change with the collar...

This is a good guess.

decorativeed · 30th December 2010, 23:01

Damn, you beat me to it...

Shirt looks alright, but when there are such minor changes as these, it makes you wonder why they bother changing them and what they could possibly tweak next time around. I suppose they must make more money that way, I'd have thought it wouldn't make much difference as a lot of people will just stop buying them when they know they are only going to last 12 months and are only slightly different.

A new shirt? I thought this was was for 2 years?

Only 1.

I like the kit posted. No stupid design or addition to the standard colours.

Tibs · 31st December 2010, 00:08

Attach a snood to the collar

Elliott · 31st December 2010, 00:16

Classic. Nice.

Bread · 31st December 2010, 00:18

Why are all our kits only for one year now! money grabbing bastards

Isn't Barca's kit supposed to have that Qatar sponsor ?

The Flying Potato · 31st December 2010, 00:25

Looks like the 2002 kit

Yeah. I bet United get a lot of stick for it too, even though the likes of Spurs, Everton, and even Middlesbrough have been doing it for years. The FA should introduce a ruling about kits. They should each last at least two seasons. Even if they made them last for three, then they could still release one new kit per year.

It's a bit much askin a fan to fork out 50 quid for a new home shirt every year, the seasons go by so fast these days.

Oh and just for the record I do like that shirt but I will not be buying it

IBleedRed · 31st December 2010, 01:22

No collar is a huge step backwards

Raven Blade · 31st December 2010, 01:35

I believe it. Looks like a slight variation on what we've seen before. It will look good if/when it's properly unveiled on our players.

I'm a fan of collars, but the ones we have currently are shit. They're always flopping about or popped halfway up/down, so I'd just assume not have them.

cantona could pull it off, but in this day and age, collars on football shirts are stupid. it isn't fucking cricket.

Collars on sportswear of any kind are stupid as they were never meant to be accompanied by a tie. I like them though, I loved the 90s shirts with collars, as well as the 70s ones. I'd have liked to see a v-neck for a change (yes, I know we had one in 2006/07).

gbgary · 31st December 2010, 03:25

much better but not perfect. needs to be solid red.

agreed, its a bacon neck collar

SharkyMcShark · 31st December 2010, 04:31

Naw I liked this current one

Freak · 31st December 2010, 06:43

What the! I just bought the current kit and now you're telling me we're going to have a new one next season?!

Lynk · 31st December 2010, 08:49

Could be worse, Barcelona and Madrid change their kit every fucking season. Kits aren't that important guys, you don't have to buy one and even if you feel the need to you can always get a cheap replica for a quarter of the price.

So do United now, by the looks of it. At least Chelsea announced they were switching to a one year cycle, we just haven't bothered to let people know. Many might not have bothered to buy this season's had they known. Last season's was known to be for one season only due to the "commemorative" nature of it (even if Nike couldn't quite figure out what they were commemorating), whereas this current one was thought to be return to a two season kit.

Cina · 31st December 2010, 10:30

It really should be every 2 years, especially as the current kit is the most awesome we've had since 06/07.

SharkyMcShark · 31st December 2010, 10:34

To be fair you're not forced to buy shirts (or to buy them for your kids for those of us unfortunate enough to have offspring).

I think our current one looks nicer than this one though. That and it does look basically like all they've done is change the collar

That's true. My main objection is that I like to be able to associate a kit with a certain era of at least a couple of years, rather than just one season. At the moment we can remember the successes we had in the kits of the past, in the future no-one will be able to remember when any of these one year kits were worn or what (if anything) was won in them. It just makes them less able to be special.

Godfather · 31st December 2010, 11:11

Looks good.
Not a big fan of collars myself so if this turn out to be legit, I'll be happy man.

Biscuit1871 · 31st December 2010, 12:25

A great improvement on your current kit.

That looks like a jumper to me. Don't like it too much, for a company as big as Nike, they could do a better job at designing kits.

R_Kelly · 31st December 2010, 13:09

Looks quite nice but I think I prefer the current one. Don't like having a new kit every year, but I guess Nike are getting as much out of us as they can.

They have no reason to though. When all they have to do is slightly tweak a plain red shirt every year, what's the point of putting much effort in?

We'll most likely see a trend for a shirt with a few design features one year (like the sleeve stripes currently), then a very basic, plain shirt, then another with some decoration or contrast trim, then another plain one. The shirts just need to have some difference to the last one, but they will inevitably run out of ideas and start to look very similar to older kits. This season's already looks like the 1980-82 shirts, the new one resembles the 2000-02 shirt.

Bread · 31st December 2010, 13:26

I wish our kits were made by umbro still and more like the England and (through gritted teeth) City kits.

nemanja15 · 31st December 2010, 15:03

Something that does suddenly make me question the authenticity of these is the fact that, aren't Barca due to have Qatar Foundation on their shirts next year instead?
