Do you still buy United kits? (Or any other United merchandise)

I didn't buy one this season, but I have bought a good amount the past decade or so.

Not a big fan of our home kit this season.

I don't - but I do tend to buy some of the training range.

I like the club anthem jackets too.

I always buy some sort of merch, I have mostly liked the golf shirts and training tops

I've just bought our 1973 home shirt with number 7 made by score draw. Much prefer those than pay top dollar for the current ones.

I've probably only bought 2-3 shirts in the last 10 years, but I did get a nice hoodie last year as well. I am planning on buying a polo shirt next and wearing that to games from then on though. I get the whole showing support and getting the 'real' shirt kind of thing, but being a 30-year-old man in one just feels a little bit sad. Each to their own though!

I bought a United Columbia jacket earlier this year. Why not as long as they look good?

Nah, I'm 40 and not into any of that stuff anymore. Feels like I'd be trying too hard to look younger. Shirts are young man's clobber in my opinion. That said, my dad still wears them and is in his late 70s.

I'd maybe buy a polo but can't say I have, or some artwork if I had bar or games room at home but I don't so I won't.

Edit: Suppose I'd be up for a mug!

I don't buy anything from the club or any of its sponsors anymore, at least until Ed and/or the Glazers are gone. Some family members were doing a bathroom remodel recently and I successfully persuaded them not to buy Kohler toilets.

Until the Glazers and Woodward feck off, I'm not buying anything... including MUTV.

Not anymore. If I have a kid one day I will, for him or her.

I have lots of shirts including the treble one I can wear to matches.

Last one I bought was the 12/13 home shirt. I find our kits pretty rubbish these days. A far cry from the Sharp, Vodafone and AIG ones.

I snap up training gear (shorts and tanks in particular) when they go on sale for half off at the end of the year. They make for great workout clothes, especially in the heat of the summer where I live.

I buy stuff from time to time. Beginning to hate the feel of polyester, though, so kits are lower on the priority list. I would like to see a range of cotton shirts that mimic the kits a bit.

Pretty much every year since 2010 when I started working. Had a few from prior years also. Just bought this years with martial 11 on the back. Now that dybala isnt coming anymore I can relax knowing martial isn't changing his shirt number back to 9.

As I'm in my 40's I don't buy kits anymore. That's young guy's stuff imo. I'm more into buying t-shirts, polos and the like. I've actually bought a few books as well. It's been a while since my last purchase though.

Not for 11 years or so. Mostly because wearing football shirts just isn't something I'd do nowadays, doesn't fit my style. Loved having the latest kit as a kid, but it doesn't interest me now.

I still buy the shirts, but I wait until midway through the season/end of the season to get them half price, or sometimes even cheaper. I have every shirt but 4 since 1992, and I'm not going to stop now.

Tracksuit pants, or shorts are great for the gym. And I'm quite partial to a cap or beanie.

Welcome to Manchester reception committee
Last purchase from the United shop - I bought a heavily discounted winter warm jacket from them when we changed kit suppliers from Umbro, and we were selling off old stock. Still in good condition, still wear it on match day.

Every now and again I see a training top or something advertised that I like the look of and nearly buy, but I never do. Not sure what it would take to make me a shopper again.

Jackets - all the time.

Old keeper jerseys, especially s/s - regularly.

Everything else - almost never.

At some point I realized that it's just not cool to wear them to any event at all ever.

I have bought other merchandise in the last few years.

Not bought a Utd top for 20 years, exception being when I managed to get FA cup Final tickets vs Palace, so bought one then. I wouldn’t ever wear a Utd shirt at OT.

I bought a hoodie during the 12-13 season.


Looked great til the first time I washed it. It was all misshapen after that. Annoying, as it wasn't cheap. Shit quality, a Primark hoodie is probably better quality. That was the last United thing I bought, and even that was the first bit of kit I've owned since one of the Sharp kits if the late 90s.

Shirts have more than doubled in price since I was a kid. 60-odd quid for what is essentially a t shirt is madness.

Think the last one I bought was 15/16 with Schweinsteiger on the back...yeah. Haven't bought one since.

I'd be interested in getting some retro shirts but I can't be arsed spending all that money.

Never have done - they’re a rip off. When I feel the need to wear a United shirt to a game, I bring out the one the club gave me for the Liverpool Europa Cup match a few years ago!

Bought a polo this season. I don't wanna buy a kit with this ugly Chevrolet logo and walk like a human billboard. Would gladly buy it if they released some sponsor free version, like West Ham did.

Not ashamed to admit I am a dhgater. £15 for complete replicas? SIGN ME UP.

Also, I love the home shirt this year, it's stunning.

I like obscure training kit, maybe. I'm getting to an age where it's starting to look naff.... thing is, nobody tells you!
