Glad it's not just me.Dont think it looks that bad tbh.
Manchester United Kits 2017/18

That home kit, if real, would be the best kit we've had since the 07-09 home and away kits. Beautiful.
That third kit is genius. 'Let's introduce a new kit that follows the same colour scheme of a universally loved classic that was worn for some of the club's greatest results.'
How can you compare this to the images of the new third kit (allegedly)? That umbro kit is sublime and what we might wear next year is as cheap and tacky looking as can be. Even if it gets cleaned up, it's still an overtly in your face and unrefined design concept. Like others have said, commemorate via some classy embroidery or marking on or under the collar.That third kit is genius.

Between adidas giving us absolute shite and the hideous logo being stuck on the front, our kits look likely to underwhelm for the foreseeable future, unfortunately.
The thought of a grey kit again gives me shivers.. You know it's not gonna end well.
Why's Matt Le Tissier wearing the grey kit on his face?
Wtf is that!? My eyes!hmm
3rd kit
I knew I'd hate the third kit as soon as Adidas came up with that daft "design your own kit" nonsense. Often times, these fan designed kits would have some ugly graphics on them, and not be a design that actually looks good on a football kit.hmm
3rd kit
The top reds will love it.hmm
3rd kit
Back on planet earth though - it's horrible.
Third kit is a disaster. Could they not have integrated the design into the fabric? Like the home shirt 95/96?
I think by the time they actually release the 3rd kit it will look a lot better than the picture above.
The problem is that it's too bold in a black fill. Imo it would look much better with just a white outline and if they took a better photo of the holy trinity, then maybe they could've added the shirt numbers and names to the back of the shirts in white outline too.
Denis Law's hand looks like Mickey Mouse's from Steamboat Willy
The alleged home shirt looks great, I really like the collar
The alleged 3rd kit is an abomination

The grey kit would be nice if it wasn't grey, and didn't have any of the lower part of the shirt.
Looks much better with the faded silhouettes
Think it will look better in real life. As someone said, who cares anyway, we will wear the shirt 4 times a season.
That definitely looks better.
Why is Niall Quinn on the shirt though?
I really like it. Hated that mock up one mind.
The version with the more subtle faded silhouette looks infinitely better but is still a pretty crap looking kit imo. I do like the supposed leaked home kit with the buttoned collar.
Busby included too - much better than the mock up.
That design on the 3rd kit is awful
If that 3rd kit is for real....then i hope we move back to Nike asap!
Updated version of the 3rd kit. A major improvement from the mockups posted earlier.
Way better

A grey kit. What could possibly go wrong?
Why are people upset with a grey kit? Have we historically been bad with grey kits or something?
In a monority, I suppose, but my favourite kit of the past few years was the black one with orange stripes we wore last season.
All clubs seem to have black kits these days, but when we wore it with white shorts I thought it was really distinctive and classy as far as second kits go.

I was a big fan of that too. Great kit.
Do you not remember this:

It was probably a bullshit excuse for getting hammered, but we never did wear that strip again that season. IIRC we've not had a grey kit since then. Though I assume the reactions to it being grey are mostly in jest due to that one freak occurrence.

Not only have we not had a grey kit since, but grey just isn't associated with playing well or looking good. There have been only a handful of grey kits for any teams that I can remember and they have all looked awful and linked to bad football. England's 'Indigo' (definitely actually grey) away kit in the mid 90s, ours from a similar time, Everton had one in the 80s and Liverpool had a couple, most recently when they chucked away their title chances against us with Torres and Rafa.
It's just a colour that has no place on a football kit, in my opinion.

Agreed. To break it down into scientific analysis of the colour spectrum, aren't vivid and luminescent colours the best to use because they are easily distinguished in a prompt manner within your peripheral vision? Last time I checked, grey isn't on that radar. Sure Barca promoted that for some of their kits as it was an attempted aid for their tiki-taka.
Oh god, I hope that third kit isn't real. It looks terrible. Potentially our worst kit ever.
How old are you?
The 3rd kit reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons when Homer was asked to design a car.
