Ya that’s my fear too
why can’t they just design a proper kit! I bought both the home & away Belgium jersey. That will do me this year I suppose
Manchester United Kits 2018/2019
- Thread starter MrPooni
- Start date

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?
why can’t they just design a proper kit! I bought both the home & away Belgium jersey. That will do me this year I supposeI’ve got the third kit this year, I think it’s absolutely class. Not keen on the home or away though.
I’ve got the navy and gold third kit, I think it looks great. Not a fan of this home or away though.Ya that’s my fear too
Why do people buy our kits ever year? I bought one years ago and still dont see the need to upgarde or buy another. Not saying how people should spend their money, but i think wearing kits is limited to sports activities/going to games or maybe a lazy day at home with the children/family.
Looks to me like there's two versions – a normal replica which is £65 and an 'authentic' replica which is £110
ridiculous.Hands down the weirdest post I've ever seen on the Caf.
I wouldn't even give 20 quid for the chinese import version. Awful
It's a really poor design no matter if it blends from a distance (when watching from the stands or on TV).
Chalk it up as one of the 'bad ones'.

Yeah... it's not great, but I bet it will look better once the players are fully fitted out on the pitch. Visually, red and black can't outdo red and white. They'd have had to change the red but that would have been tricky. Adidas could have done better tbh.
United in pink...jesus wept!
I’m guessing the difference will be the sleeve sponsor, premier league badges and probably a name on the shirt. That’s where the extra £45 comes from but still absolute bollox. I mean I used to bu the the top and would only wear it game day or if I was playing football. That was it.Looks to me like there's two versions – a normal replica which is £65 and an 'authentic' replica which is £110
I think the 'authentic' kit is like the one the players actually wear match days; made of different materials, sewn in different ways and the badges/logos etc are better quality. Sleeve sponsor, prem badges and numbers would still be extra on top of that.
I don't like the dark lines on the lower part of the shirt. Still, I have seen worse.
Actually not, mate. The 'authentic' one looks to be slightly better quality (more like the players match shirt) and that price is before any printing is added. You can see the difference at the bottom of the shirt, it's rounded instead of straight.
You could be looking at close to £150 for that shirt with printing
I’m not sure the material would be different. If that’s the case you might as well buy a knock off version. Also do you get different gradients of recycled bottles as isn’t that what it’s made from. Don’t really know.

Here's a breakdown of how replicas are different to authentic shirts. Definitely made from different materials in some cases to lower costs. Not sure what the Parley ones are like between the two though.
From the pics online, the Pink kit doesn't seem to be that good. Probably need a deeper shade of pink.
It's not an "authentic replica", it's simply an "authentic" shirt, exactly as the players would wear.Looks to me like there's two versions – a normal replica which is £65 and an 'authentic' replica which is £110
I don't really get the outcry about the £100 price tag to be honest, 99.9999% of people will buy the replica for £60, no different to the last 5 years or so. Very few people will need to buy the authentic shirt.
It's not that bad. I bought it off the website they wooed me with the free shipping for limited time. Haven't had a home kit in a few years either.
That would make it about 85.50 dollars US but when I check the site its $97.49! Is that a UK sale price maybe? Funny enough the Alexis, Pogba and Lukaku shirts are going for $89.99. On United direct those are around $124.99
I thought it was strange myself
The shirts they're wearing are the 'replica' shirts, not the ones they'll wear playing, which are designed to be more form fitting. But you're right, I'll not be happy either until the United shirt has outlined six-packs and dots for nipples too.
The shirts are on sale for $80.99 on Utd UK store. But they have an additional shipping charge of $9 to ship to US. If you are buying couple of jerseys, probably you save 9 or 10$ on a whole.

Seen worse...A lot worse
Personally I think this is better than the table cloth
£60 is still a rip off IMO, but I know it's been that way for a while.
I don't think they should offer two different types either, it's either ripping people off or cheapening the shirt depending on which way you prefer to look at it.
Thank you. I saw the first two options on united direct. I don't need the Kohler logo so i'll probably get the shirt with the free shipping option.
As for the design, I'm not a huge fan of the shirt as a stand alone piece, but even more disappointed with the shorts and socks moving away from the club's usual colours.
For anyone wanting to order this. Sports direct have 20% off if you order through the app (midnight expiry)
Oddly enough the ones with names and numbers are cheaper than the standard shirt.
Alexis 7 coming out at £48 after discount

I'm actually starting to like it now after seeing the shirt on the players. The replica version is still crap though, the black part of the shirt is blended with the red, creating a weird brownish colour instead. The authentic version looks really nice though, proper black.
Will take a while to get used to it, especially to wearing black shorts at Old Trafford.

All the promotional material you're referring to has the players wearing the replica version of the shirt.
Pipe down. It’s a football kit.You can't really be serious
Ah yes, that didn't make much sense. It looks good on the players, but when comparing both versions the authentic is much better is what I meant.
The horizontal lines around the middle make the wearer look like a weeble.
At least our players will be harder to knock off the ball.

So, I assume we will not be wearing white shorts/socks at home in the CL? Same kit for PL and CL?
I've loved black shorts ever since 2003/2004 ones. Only positive there.
This kit is going to curse us, just you watch.
Couldn’t care less personally. Never been outraged by one of our kits. Only so many ways you can make a red shirt!
You havent had a home kit in years and this is the one you buy?!
I literally went on my phone , coloured some red over that horrendous gradient and the kit looks fine. Who the feck at Adidas, getting paid top dollar, thought that would look good, and then who approved it ?!?!
