In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I like that - I'm not usually keen on white kits (not for superstitious reasons, I think England should make the red kit their home shirt) but that works pretty nicely.Alright, I've been given permission to post this - it's a mock-up of the away kit. Bear in mind, I've only seen a photo of (most of) the shirt, so the shorts and socks are guesswork:
It does look quite smart there. People complain every time a new kit's announced but they will get more accustomed to it with each appearance. We've had two toned red shirts before.Looks nice in this picture
colourless crest? feck sake.Alright, I've been given permission to post this - it's a mock-up of the away kit. Bear in mind, I've only seen a photo of (most of) the shirt, so the shorts and socks are guesswork:
Other then the crest that's a great jersey.
That looks classy. About time I bought an away shirt, might consider it for that one. Good job decorativeed.
no it doesn'tLooks nice in this picture
Now why couldn't we have a red version of that for our home kit instead of the fecking picnic blanket.Alright, I've been given permission to post this - it's a mock-up of the away kit. Bear in mind, I've only seen a photo of (most of) the shirt, so the shorts and socks are guesswork:
I'm also sick and tired of those stocking sleeves why doesn't anybody wear a long sleeved kit anymore
That's the real inspiration behind the design. It's a tribute to the flask and blanket brigade in the South Stand.
Sir. Bobby's looked down at the blanket on Norma's lap and though "That'd look good on the boys"
Because players prefer wearing the Nike Pro underneath the playing shirt.
Strange thing to be annoyed about.
I like that away kit. The home kit...not so much.
Has anyone actually said they like the home kit?

It will probably grown on me, generally don't like complex designs on jerseys though.
That's a nice one, d-ed.
Although I'd bet a sweatshop worker's paycheck the shorts are tartan. Or gingham. Or a kilt.

I like it.
The first leaked shots looked terrible but once we saw the actual shirt from that leaked Nike shoot I thought it looked pretty smart.
Please do this kit again! It won't start up protests again, I promise!

I agree! Something like this wouldn't be bad.
is it checkers? is it plaid? no, its shiteLooks nice in this picture
This happens every fecking season.
They look alright. After watching Everton play in pink and chelsea play with those manboob pads, these doesnt look that bad.
Who cares about the kits anyway.. most of them look OK. Some are great and some embarrassing.
This is in the middle.
I hated the 06/07 kit at the start.. the logo/patch sewn on looked weird. That now is one of my favorite shirts in recent times.
Most kits grow on you as the season goes on.

It annoys me too.
(with the caveat that it is obviously a purely aesthetic annoyance and the players should wear what they feel most comfortable in).
Berba loves the long sleeve.. another reason to love him
I'll miss him
I'll miss him
Yeah, it could use a stripe of yellow on the green side to add to visibility, like in your example, green kits can't be the easiest to see on the pitch. Or they could put a yellow sleeve on the green side and vice versa.[/SPOILER]
I agree! Something like this wouldn't be bad.
The away kit looks really good. don't think the home one is that bad neither.
But I actually liked the blue gingham designAlright, I've been given permission to post this - it's a mock-up of the away kit. Bear in mind, I've only seen a photo of (most of) the shirt, so the shorts and socks are guesswork:
I quite like it, I'm sure it will grow on people as usual.
Manchester United and Nike have unveiled the new home kit for the 2012/13 season, inspired by the city’s industrious past. The new Manchester United Home 2012-13 shirt will feature the iconic gingham check that hailed from Manchester’s famous cotton mills...
Nike’s most environmentally friendly ever kit honours the club’s illustrious past with a bold new design. Manchester United football club’s success has been founded on the traditional values of respect and hard work. Those values are what made Manchester the city it is and from the mid 18th century the cotton mills there were prolific in the industry. From those mills came the gingham fabric, an iconic check that like Manchester United is famous around the world and is now – for the first time – used on a Manchester United home shirt.
The tonal gingham in traditional and iconic red gives the home shirt a bold new look. The black v-neck collar gives the shirt a contemporary look. The inner back neck graphic on the shirt reads, ‘Forged in Industry, Striving for Glory’; paying tribute to the cities industrial past but also the club’s hard-working ethos.
The outer neck graphic is the iconic devil symbol so synonymous around the world with Manchester United whilst a diagonal hatched graphic on the white shorts is a subtle link to the gingham used on the shirt.
The socks are black with a red detail on the top and a white devil icon. They offer a new and innovative design featuring an updated cotton footbed offering the support and comfort enjoyed by professionals to all that wear them.
Whilst the new Manchester United 2012-2013 football kit combines modern sport and youth style to give the club an iconic new look, Nike’s innovation gives the team our most technologically advanced kit to aid athlete comfort and performance.
The new Man Utd shirts have bonded re-enforced t-bar junctions that support critical seams on the shirt and shorts and inner welded seams with a flat finish construction to improve comfort and performance. Temperature regulation is helped by ventilation zones, consisting of a series of tiny laser cut holes from the under arms to the waistband, allowing air to circulate to keep players comfortable.
The new Manchester United home kit is made from Nike’s ground-breaking recycled polyester, making it Nike’s most environmentally friendly kit ever produced. Each kit (shirt and shorts) is made using up to thirteen recycled plastic water bottles. This innovative manufacturing process reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared to manufacturing traditional polyester. Since 2010 Nike has used an estimated 1115 million recycled plastic bottles to create its high performance kits.
The kits are made out of 23% lighter fabric with 20% stronger knit structure than Nike’s previous kits and feature Nike Dri-FIT technology to wick moisture away from athletes to help keep them cool and dry on-pitch.
Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs was asked his opinion on the new Manchester United home kit for next season and said: “I think the gingham design is great – it looks the part. It is a bit different from last year’s kit and it has moved on which Manchester United, both on and off the pitch, like to try and do. We try to move on and do different things. The players love it and I’m sure the fans will love it as well.”
Asked whether he likes the way this kit reflects the history of the city and Club, Rio Ferdinand commented: “I think it’s great that the gingham design has its roots in Manchester’s cotton industry, and that ties the kit nicely to the club and the city so I’m sure the fans will be pleased with that – we are as players.”
The work ethic between the city and the football club is something Nike, Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson have been keen to emphasize. When asked how important the similarities between Manchester United and the city of Manchester were, Sir Alex answered: “Well, I think the great similarity is the industrial part of Manchester, which has always been there, like the cotton mills. For instance, Manchester United started from a railway background and if you look at the club, it has always had a great work ethic about it, and the players who have been successful in this club have adopted that fantastic work ethic. That is what Manchester is really; it’s a working class city, with working class people - and that’s our history".
See, to all those who keep saying there's nothing psychological in a kit, Nike has turned us into a bunch of bottlers.
I'm hoping it grows on me. I remember I didn't like this year's away when it was released, I thought it looked like a training kit. But now I think it was quite a smart shirt and I'm glad it will still be around as the third.
I don't know if Nike are to blame to be honest. This year's kit is excellent IMO and they've done some good ones in recent years. (Though I was in the minority camp that liked the chevron shirt). Meanwhile adidas have had a similar ratio of great kits:shockers. Chelsea have born the brunt of the dodgy ones.

It's awful. Why can't they just keep it simple?
Redcafe - the place that contains the best fashion designers in the world.
Even he stopped wearing them..Berba loves the long sleeve.. another reason to love him
I'll miss him
Better than Nike's for sure.
On a side note, bit strange how soccerbible tag all the photos with their logo, when all those pics are straight from Nike's site and available to anyone...

Is it the same photo you've seen, dec?Alright, I've been given permission to post this - it's a mock-up of the away kit. Bear in mind, I've only seen a photo of (most of) the shirt, so the shorts and socks are guesswork:
I actually like it. Plain and simple.
I'm just relieved it's not completely diabolical. No doubt they've found a way to mess up the rest of the kit.
For me it isn't the design, it's the pure, unadulterated idiocy --
"That is what Manchester is really; it’s a working class city, with working class people - and that’s our history."
No, Maciek, it was a different photo. Same shirt though.
The away is pretty nice. I might get it.
I like both - home and away.
So we have a pyjama top and a baseball jersey. Awesome.
