Presumably the 98-00 home shirt with the zipper on the neck.
They're flogging a retro version of it as part of the treble range - https://store.manutd.com/stores/man...ries=promotions,20th-anniversary-treble-range
Do you still buy United kits? (Or any other United merchandise)

Stopped years ago. Mixture of just growing out of them and the Glazers. I have a couple of older kits, seeing people wear glazer merch just makes me cringe.
Do you wear Calvin Klein? Tommy Hilfiger? EtcThis will admittedly sound a bit prideful, but I don't like the idea of wearing clothes with another man's name on my back. I know. It's a pointless distinction but it still bothers me.
There is certainly nothing wrong with other people wearing it at any age and I could just buy a blank one. I prefer national team jerseys tbh.
now we know why we have no cash for transfers!
Got my little one a Utd top a few years ago. I stopped years ago
The jersey we wore with a zip
the last United shirt I bought was a white one, replica of that worn by Jimmy Greenhoff in the team that beat Liverpool in an FA Cup semi-final replay in 1979! ridiculously expensive these days
Yes but from a nice Thai lady in MBK in Bangkok
Haven't bought one in years but every year my sister asks what I want for Xmas and the answers always the same. United merchandise. Its not so much that I want it but her being a Liverpool supporter it just seems poetic justice all the times she ribbed me as a kid when pool were dominant. Not so much fun the last few years though.
I bought a kit from thailand for my son if that counts. I find adults wearing football club clothes pretty cringe unless playing football or at a match.
Versacci, Louis Vuitton, Tom Ford, Ted Baker the list goes on
I’m 31 years old so not a chance I would wear a United shirt, however I buy my kids the full kits, they are 8 and 5 years old. I stopped wearing football shirts when I was about 18.
I am not the poster this is related to, but i think there is some difference if you buy a garment with a small logo on it, compared to a piece with the name plastered all over it. I dont mind wearing something branded with a small logo, but i generally dislike something with big logos or big letters. A football shirt with a player's name on the back is fine, but i can see why someone doesnt like it. And i agree with the poster, i find national team jerseys cleaner and nicer due to not having a sponsor on the shirt and sometimes better designs.
I do have some United and NT kits around, some with names and some without, but mostly due to nostalgic reasons and not really to wear them often. Sometimes casually or when playing sports in the summer.
Fair enough, I was asking out of curiosity more than anything.
Calvin Klein boxers are very fashionable and people have no problem wearing them with his name plastered all over it, so I was curious if that poster had issues with something like that too.
In my mind, that’s a bit stranger than having the name of a player on the back of your shirt for the team you invest so much time, money and effort in supporting.
But each to their own of course.
I still buy a few kits every couple of years. Primarily to hand them down to my son like my Dad did for me. I've got a great collection of shirts from the 80s and 90s and knowing that's what my dad was wearing in Wembley when he saw Eric Cantona win the 1996 FA cup final is a special feeling.
I love that place
I only want the original version from 1992. The amount of people that have tried to sell me a remake (fake) is unbelievable.
Your comparison would be more relevant if he'd said that he begrudged the actual Adidas branding, rather than the name spread over the back.
The examples of High Street fashion brands that are named after the designer are essentially logos - like the word 'Hilfiger' or 'Gucci' on a jumper is the same as the Adidas trefoil.
It represents the prestige (or not, depending on the brand) of the company's history in clothing design rather than it represents or brings to mind the physical image of the designer / owner.
Very rarely. That chevy logo is hideous and stands out like a sore thumb. People around me don't necessarily know that I am wearing my club colors and just assume I am a very passionate chevrolet employee.
I would be much more inclined to buying more shirts if they just made that logo a bit more subtle, but oh well.

Same here, no new kits till the glazers are out for me, plus the Chevy logo is quite possibly the ugliest branding that a 'top tier' team has to wear.
Not since I was 14.
Last was in 2008. Can't be bothered anymore.
I'll buy retro gear like some of the Adidas Originals but as far as the kits, no I can't keep up. Three new one's a year, mostly not very nice one's too and they cost close to $100. I'd rather spend it on booze.
Last and only Utd kit I bought was the Home Sharp top.
If I played 5 aside still, I'd probably look to get some training gear possibly.

Had only ever bought a Keane and Ferdinand couple of shirts back in my footy playing days 15-20 years ago.
Back then they got tonnes of usage, twice a week minimum.
Started buying a shirt a season when Ibra joined. Had Ibra, Lukaku, Sanchez (yep!), and this year Maguire.
Still not totally sure it's great value, as i'll only ever do 8-10 games a season, and half the games are so cold you have a big coat on over it, but I still like to.

Two words DH Gate
It’s £200 from classic football kits
Have loads of Jerseys, but buy the kits now for my grandchildren.
I've been to see this lady on the top floor of the MBK.
I don't buy it but tend to get them as gifts.
I get to old Trafford twice a season on average and for some reason I always end up buying one everytime I am there. Has become a (very expensive) tradition.
In recent times though I've been buying the retro kits as I much prefer them to the recent ones and find I'm more likely to actually wear them!

I check that website regularly and there isn’t one on there. I’ve even spoken to the owner and he said they have never had one on their website.
No - LUHG
Brand new with tags, yes
I reckon it is fair to say that most of us will always think of, Jimmy Greenhoff, whenever we fondly remember that brilliant white kit with the 3 black stripes down the front
