You kidding? That old blue kit is iconic - possibly my favourite ever!At least they learnt that less is more in terms of the garishness of that pattern.
That 'tartan' was actually gingham and was due to the history of the fabric being produced in Manchester mills.It's orange. And we're Man Utd...
And it's orange.
So, we have a Scottish manager and Nike dishes out that fecking awful 'tartan' shirt, now we get a dutch manager and Adidas pulls out a fecking black and orange away shirt. Too much to be a coincidence - the club must be asking for this shit based who's managing us at the time.
Yeah, it's painfully uncreative. Have you ever played Scrabble with someone who just lists things in the room? I bet that's every kit designer. Cup. Floor. People.It's orange. And we're Man Utd...

Agree, I liked it before that marihuana pattern emerged in the new pics!I really don't like that pattern on the black kit. Screws it up imo.
It wasn't tartan, it was gingham-pattern created in ManchesterIt's orange. And we're Man Utd...

We wore adidas before Liverpool and we wore black before Liverpool, but yeah, sure.Almost resembles a Liverpool kit
Do not like
I think it was Craig Norwood the photographer chap? He described it as 'Hot Pink'. On the one I ordered I can kinda see where he is coming from, but for me its more like an illuminous red so it would show up in the dark.Was it Mitten who said he'd seen the kits, and said the black kit was one of the best kits we've had in years?
If he did, I'm in agreement. It's absolutely mint.
I think you're right. I remember it being someone fairly reliable, and it makes sense that Norwood would have seen the kits. This might be the first season in a good long while I've bought 2 kits.I think it was Craig Norwood the photographer chap? He described it as 'Hot Pink'.

You'll probably be able to be preorder but they'll not show you the shirt, so you can either wait to see if you like it or preorder blind.So i know the discussion around the end of the Nike deal on 31 July has been done to death, but I assume that we will be able to pre-order the kits from United if we wish to before the expiration of the Nike deal?
I know previously they've just blacked out pics on the United site, but wondered if there would be contractual issues before expiration of the Nike deal.
I wouldn't expect them to sell out, but i'd have said the same about this kit:You'll probably be able to be preorder but they'll not show you the shirt, so you can either wait to see if you like it or preorder blind.
I don't know why you'd bother, they're not gonna sell out and its cheaper to buy from places other than the megastore anyway.
They're not official though, they're just going off leaks.
Just to put the red stripes in context to the Utd badge
I agree, plus you'd get cashback from Quidco etc if you went down that route.You'll probably be able to be preorder but they'll not show you the shirt, so you can either wait to see if you like it or preorder blind.

Fair enough, that was a nice shirt too.I wouldn't expect them to sell out, but i'd have said the same about this kit:
But was very hard to get hold of in the weeks after release unless you wanted small or xxl
Indeed that's a fake I bought from Moreshirt. I prefer that one to the orange. I'd only use mine for watching a game at home or kicking about in the garden with the kids so not that critical to be perfect.They're not official though, they're just going off leaks.
Fair enough, how much do they set you back?Indeed that's a fake I bought from Moreshirt. I prefer that one to the orange. I'd only use mine for watching a game at home or kicking about in the garden with the kids so not that critical to be perfect.
I know, just talking about the particular design, not the colour.We wore adidas before Liverpool and we wore black before Liverpool, but yeah, sure.
Needs some Ganja leaf patterns on it. Or it would just be a wasteRed home shirt, Gold and Green away shirt.
Sounds good to me.
I genuinely didn't know that, fair play.That 'tartan' was actually gingham and was due to the history of the fabric being produced in Manchester mills.
Haha, very good mate.Yeah, it's painfully uncreative. Have you ever played Scrabble with someone who just lists things in the room? I bet that's every kit designer. Cup. Floor. People.
Still, the black kit is pretty much as good as it's gonna get with that monstrosity of a logo.
If it ever gets legalized, Woody would be the first one to land an official weed sponsor.@JUPITER I hope we get a Jamaican manager soon then. I would love a rasta MUFC kit.
Yes! Ill buy that.
It's an historical/retro nod to a classic (and unique) Adidas away kit.Ruined it with the pattern. What's the point?

Pattern doesn't really do it for me either. Wouldn't mind much if it's all over the shirt, but it looks like it's in two lines across the chest?Ruined it with the pattern. What's the point?
I like it, think it´s miles better than what Nike have been dishing out..It's an historical/retro nod to a classic (and unique) Adidas away kit.
Ruined it with the pattern. What's the point?

The different reds on the away and 3rd from Moreshirt
The pattern makes that kit badass.Ruined it with the pattern. What's the point?
