Manchester United Kits 2011/2012

Busby or Ferguson
I have thought of getting 'Sir Alex' and '41' (his birthyear) on the back. Don't know if it would look silly though
it sounds awful mate but to each their own points for originalitybetter to get a kit from toffs as that is more 'original' to what edwards and blanchflower would've worn than this gingham abomination.
That said, I think you should consider Nobby Stiles or Tommy Taylor.
I have the black away shirt from three seasons back (with the blue chevron) with Cantona 7
Looks even more horrible when it gets all sweaty on top of looking shit, terrible kit from nike.
nike are cnuts for doing us like this.
Think its fantastic. In fact, it was pretty much the only positive of the night.
Best kit in years.

Its wank
Its the first time in years kids are asking their parents not to buy the New Man United Jersey
My thougts excatly. Vidic looked like some orphin who doesn't have money to buy himself a decent shirt.
I didn't think it looked too bad all. Not the best we've had but not as awful as the last time we had black as the secondary colour on it (09/10). Prefer the keepers' kits though, they're classy.
On top of it looking like a tea cloth, and the sweat factor which appears to make all the checks fall off, it's bloody insulting that this expensive piece of poop is apparently 'a tribute to Manchester's traditional industries'. Yeah thanks, Nike, for reminding us of all that near-slave labour, and charging this generation of exploited workers fifty quid for looking like a picnic.
I demand that it's replaced. Not even joking. The players should do the same. How unpleasant must it be to feel how Vidic looked last night?
Poor RvP and Kagawa must be horrified at what they've brought on themselves. RvP was soaked through before he touched the ball.
This is now without a shadow of a doubt the worst top we've ever had. And they give the abomination the Dri-fit label?

I suddenly really liked this kit. It's dark red is not bad at all. It looks good on slim people, like Nani. And Vidic was looking incredibly sexy in it. Not even joking.
blaming nike for something United clearly signed-off on is silly. they're not as horrible on the players, on the pitch, photographed from high altitude, as the photos in the beginning made them seem.
Yeah, it's not as bad. But it's easily the worst home kit we've ever had.
It's not. This is:
The current one runs it a close second though.

Saw the home kit in the shops yesterday, the gingham is quite vibrant.
Here's another pic, so the horridness of the sleeves is clearer, as well as the United badge logo across the mid section. Makes Nike look like genius designers!
There is one major problem with the current kit and that is the gingham pattern. The 1996-98 shirt had so many awful design features it beggars belief that they managed to incorporate them all on a single item of clothing: The three tone collar, the "Theatre of Dreams" text with a horrible black stroke right on the navel, the massive central Umbro logo. The central crest with a pointless black circle around it, the "Old Trafford" crests on the sides with a horrible gradient effect... and those fecking sleeves!
That design of that kit is terrible. It's like it's made by someone who has just started using Photoshop and has discovered the stroke, gradient and transparency tools.
They where all pretty bad back then, compared to today's standards anyway.
Whatever pattern or features where used where poorly done, they all looked like they where going to rip at any moment. It's almost the difference of going from SD to HD, they where all awful.
Except they weren't, they where iconic and emotive.
You see this and you immediately think Cantona:
Beckham:
Bergkamp:
These days the kits barely change at all. 2010-2012 may as well have just been the same kit, and 2013 could be as well if not for the table cloth design. Same for Arsenal's they have barely changed over the last few years. Just enough to out date the last ones, but not enough to be interesting.
Note: Not using proper pictures because this computer can't handle image search.

They were only iconic because of the iconic players who wore them and the fact they lasted for two seasons which meant a lot of memories could be easily evoked by them years later. They were not all "pretty bad" by any stretch of the imagination though. We had a few shockers in the 90s but a lot of great kits too.
I don't know, they where all pretty awful. The 1999 shirt was, for obvious reasons, one of my favourite shirts of all time. But if they brought it out today it would be derided as if a child had drawn it, because that's exactly what it looked like.
The sleve stripe Umbro things where always barely keeping the shirt together, Both the Sharp logo, the Umbro logo, and the United badge for that matter was terribly sown on (even for the real kits), and looked like you could just pick them off in a second.
The neck was awful; cheap and tacky. The collar was awful; cheap and tacky.
But it was so so iconic, so different. No one would try to make a shirt like that these days.

Beg to differ on all those points. I'd much rather have proper embroidered logos on replica shirts than the cheap shit we have now. There was nothing wrong with the collar at all. The Sharp and Umbro logos were not "sown on".
Obviously it is very much a product of its time, but Umbro have released lines of products with the shoulder tape on in three different decades and they are still available and popular now.
Also, it's "were", not "where".

It was odd I thought that we never had another European shirt given the success we had with the last one, famously winning the Champions League while wearing it.
Do you know I have absolutely no idea of the difference between those. Their and there are easy, where and were.. Eff only knows.Anyway you're right; they weren't sown on, they were glued on.
But they are two words with different spellings, meanings and pronunciation.

That is still my favourite kit. The Umbro and Sharp were this kind of foamy material similar to the numbering. Also the zip collar was bossI don't know, they where all pretty awful.
