What kind of dirty bastard wants a reversible kit. Will never know how that one was signed off on.

There was a blue and white kit in the early 90's, remember I really hated it.

I know we had a fair bit of success in it, but looking back at the 96-98 home shirt - it's fecking dreadful.

The current grey one and the one from the mid 90s. The home kit from Moyes season, blue away one wasn't great either. The gold and black one is like a reject from a Wolves kit design, the blue one above Sparky is wearing, probably a few more would come into this category.

Hopefully it brings us good fortune today, but this tragedy paired with white shorts is hideous.

It may be inspired by the fans, but Adidas made the decision on a grey kit.

Yeah, I'm in total agreement. That's easily the worst home kit we've ever had.

The two blue ones posted earlier along with this season's grey are up there in the top five worst away kits. The current grey actually makes the original one look good in retrospect.

It's incredible we've ended up with that grey shirt again instead of a white one considering the extreme profesionalism and focus on miniscule details in the footballing world. Black is a shite colour too for kits, particularly when there's no contrasting coulours. The colour has to be functional.

Had problems with it in the past. And research says:

,,We conclude that the colour of football outfits affects evaluations of football players’ positions on the field, with white tricots resulting in the best location assessment. The outfit colour may indirectly influence football match results, warranting more attention to the home and away shirts by team managers and football scientists."

Don't like any blue kit. It's weird that we get one so often

The current grey one is definitely the worst I've seen.

Our kits from 2009-2012 were just terrible.

Ah yes, the towel.

I remember my first trip to Old Trafford it was being released. Dad offered to buy it for me. I said nah :lol:.

Personally in recent years that fecking chevron/black-V in 2009/10 was a fecking disgrace. Horrible look.

Personally, I really disliked a few of the Nike kits we had:






I was having a look through the different versions there to check the years if the ones I didn't like.

Has there ever been a Home/Away combo as good as the 1994-96 set?

The pairing with white shorts is so weird, it makes the shirt itself look more hideous than it actually is!

Can you imagine us releasing kits like this now?













And I used to love those last 2.

Most football kits are awful, but the grey shirt is a special kind of awful.

We won a fecking european cup wearing blue. Don't imagine that's going anywhere.

Some of our best kits have been blue. Just as long as it's dark blue.
