Manchester United Kits 2014/15
- Thread starter bosnian_red

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Getting back to Nike, the thing they are fecking up badly on the away kit is a unwritten rule that is also used in web design, never use more more than 3 colours. They have white, black, red, yellow, silver and gold gradients. It's a clusterfeck
Sure, I'll have a crack at it.
Yeh if they were going to do this it should've at least been green stripes so it could look like the matrix screen.
Look like the visualisations in Winamp or something like that.
How about one without the Chevrolet text?
Surely United's commercial marketing team must check out fan opinion.

7 years of Chevrolet and that logo...
Having said that, I never buy these things, and the Chevy deal is bigger than Real Madrid and Barcelona's shirt deals combined.

There's not much they could do with a hideous large gold logo like that on the front of the shirt but nothing we can do about it. I'd like to see Adidas come in, Nike seem to have gotten very lazy and really do struggle to come up with decent kits for us these days, it's hardly difficult if fans can mock up better looking designs in Photoshop.
We'll never have a non-cheap looking shirt with that monstrosity of a logo. It's just not doable. Best brace yo'selves for 7 years of even shittier kits than usual, peeps.
Peole wont like the change in badge but this is bloody lovely, thanks!Home

Can we ditch Nike now please? They haven't made us a decent kit in like 6 years now.
You don't think this season's kit is decent?
It's not Nike's fault we're being paid more than an honest man's life earnings to have a fecking great orange mess shat on the middle of our shirt, and I'm pretty sure adidas started the whole 'one a year' thing.

I guess they are contractually obliged to have the logo and text of fixed size and proportion.
Does the club have any real say in the design of the kit though? Surely all that money Nike is paying gives them the major authority on how the kit will look. It's a bit shit, isn't it?
I doubt the club have a say, in comparison with say, City. City every season, whether it be Nike or Umbro have simple classy look kits. We're left with some right stinkers.
The grandfather type collar is a bit weird, but this seasons is OK. The gingham effort was disgusting. I quite liked the one with the white stripe down the shoulder, although it looked a bit weird on long sleeved versions.
The current white one is the nicest looking kit we've had in years.
The leaked kit doesn't look good at all, but I really liked this seasons kit and the 06/07 one was great too, so Nike can make a decent kit when they want.
That's a nice shirt, although I hope we never do the stars thing.Home
Those stars will be embarrassing if we play Real.Home

In that it's white and has a black bit at the top? Razor sharp observation there.
Even the collar looks like a bow tie
You might want to take a look at this then: http://www.wikihow.com/Tie-a-Bow-Tie
Revolting, as usual. I know it's all a matter of taste and no design will ever get universal agreement - but a plain shirt in club colours without the ridiculous collar and buttons (which look like something my grandad would have worn) should not be beyond the wit of even nike to design.
To be fair, the main change that you've made here is the one that Nike have no control over, the big horrible full-colour Chevy logo. Other than that, it's basically the same kit. It's not great, but with the old AON logo it probably would have looked fine. Likewise the home shirt.Shit, here's another one I mocked up in photoshop. Crude, yes, but what I'm showing is that it doesn't take much effort to make a kit look better or more interesting. Get your shit together nike
That said, those three fan-made designs are massively better than the real shirts. Even with the horrible chevy logo we have to use they'd still be better. It's embarrassing that there's always a load of fan designs that are better than the one we actually get landed with.
Why is obvious. You've already noticed it far more than you would have a simple understated silhouette. The advertising industry still very much operates under the ethos that any exposure is good exposure.
But yeah. I'm not a massive fan of the away shirt, although the home one is ok. Neither are as good as those fan-made designs, but that always seems to be the case these days. Either way, whatever we got was always going to look shit with that Chevrolet monstrosity splashed across it, but then that's why they're paying us such an absurdly huge amount of money.
That white away kit really reminds me of Valencia's home kit
So how long until we officially know the kits?
That's classy. We should make this our CL kit for next season, but then i remember we are not in that competitionHome

Apparently we will have a third kit coming out somewhere in September. Since when do United make third kits?
Since like donkeys years ago when we saw that millions of mugs around the world were readily handing over 50 notes for a gash shirt with a United badge on.
We usually use the away strip from the previous season as our third kit, I imagine it'll be this seasons away shirt but with the Chevvy logo.
Yep, they have done that before with AIG and Aon. Shame i'd love a proper black kit.
brilliant but never going to happen though. you should be working for nike design department.Home

It's been 5 years since our last black away shirt, we really need another soon.
Lynk you are so great and also amazing. You can even design football shirts. I bet you could do anything.
Those mentioning 'stinkers'... 09/10 home was awful, 12/13 home wasn't great but it grew on me. Others haven't been so bad in recent years; really like this year's home but just a shame we played so poorly in it. Our current away and third options are quality too.
I may be one of the few who actually like the 09/10 chevron shirt. Especially the away.
I haven't bought a footy shirt for ages, I'm over 30, don't play footy these days, and they're sh!T to wear in town if you're not a chav.
However, if it isn't a complete crock of sh!T I might just buy one.
But please let them be better than the utter pony on this thread...
