I loved the blue vodafone away (or was it 3rd ) 02/03 when we drew 2-2 with Arsenal at end of the season. Also mreminds me of Veron in Europe.

What’s your favorite kit?
- Thread starter golden_blunder
- Start date

Nik (@Rood), Jamie (@Vault Dweller) and Ed (@That'sHernandez) give their end of season awards out! They celebrate the best players, goals and moments of the season (there were some, honestly) and also give out awards for the worst and most disappointing players/moments of the season.
They then discuss all the latest transfer rumours and get into the potential ins and outs this summer at Old Trafford.
Favourites.
82-84.
84-86
88-90
90-92 (snowflake? Away)
And I liked 23/24 home in long sleeve. Had a very classic 80s look barring the black stripes instead of white.

2006-2007 (Home)
2007-2008 (Home and whichever one the black one was)
2013-2104 (Home)
On a side note my kit buying days are over. Last 5 Kits I bought were Garnacho, Martinez, Rashford, Greenwood and Martial. I'm cursed.

07/08 home is the most perfect modern football kit ever made. It will never be topped.
That 87-88 was my first one too, a thing of beauty. The 1990-1992 blue and white away one was class too, but I never got one.
Loved the Adidas ones before the switch to Umbro, hated all most of the Umbro ones with the collars in the 1990s.
2011-2012 home, 2003-2006 (home and away jerseys), 2003 (third) are all ones I still wear. 2003 probably the best year post 1993 for the whole set.
92/93 home kit.
99 Home kit.
06/07 Home and white away kit.
07/08 Home and black away kit. Travelled the world in the home kit and was devastated when the print starting to come off so had to stop wearing it.
12/13 Home and white away kit.
Yeah, Ive said it a few times but the 12/13 kit will forever be one of my favourites.
The white Adidas kit we had beating Palace in the FA Cup final is a beauty as well.

06/07 Home and white away kit.

06/07 home kit. Perfection.
Methinks I harbour an unwholesome affection for this lime-green hue. It bringeth me great mirth to behold its brilliance, and verily, it beareth no relation to the year nor the kit whence it came.
Let it be known, in this hour of turmoil and kitly confusion, that mine heart doth leap at the sight of this verdant vestment. Though the world burneth, I shall wear lime.

Loved this as a kid.
There are more iconic united kits but I don't feel as connected to those.

The black Viewcam felt real quality wearing the kit. Just had a premium vibe
I'm gonna go by the Wikipedia listings because I misremembered dates for sure.
1. 1990-1992 Away Shirt. Insane Blue and White snowflake number. Dream purchase.
2. 1993-1995 Away Shirt: Black and Gold, collared, as all good shirts should be. Bonus points in long sleeve.
3. 2002-2004 Home Shirt: Maybe it's just Ruud, maybe I just liked the 2000s, whatever. Good shirt.
If anyone fancies throwing me the one like it takes for me to post pictures that'd be lovely. *Best Puppy Eyes*
Just an obvious addition. We should rotate shirts on two year cycles, considering they now cost approximately our transfer budget and everything washes off after two washes.

Airfix Lightning 1/48
Is there somewhere that sells all these?
Weird how I hated the zebra one at the time but love it now. Same with that pink one we had.Big fan of that one, wore that jersey the other day.
Also really liked this one:
Favourite home kit: 86-88
Favourite Away Kit: 2012-2013
Favourite Away Kit: 2012-2013
This was a great one as well. We have some great blue-black/white-gold kits over the years.

This was actually my first shirt. Plus the Cantona king Fu. It wins every time for me.
Think it's mostly the ones I had when was a certain age, loved these from when I was around 11-14 years old.
This was alright when I was a little older too:
Think 99/00 was actually the last ones I got. Really liked this for how comfortable it was to wear but it wasn't the best looking one. Also had the home one that year with the zip which I wasn't keen on.
Love all the 80s blue 3rd kits but never had one:
Black ones were always cool too, but again never had them. Viewcam one was mint, as was the 07/08 one.
I liked that vertical stripe detail on the back of those 07/08 kits. thought it was a nice touch.

The Milwaukee package is decent.
Had the 94/95 home shirt with Cantona and loved that for the image of Old Trafford on the front!
Some of my favourites in chronological order from when I started following the club as an eight year-old, off the top of my head:
- Umbro 1994-95 black away, especially in long-sleeves;
- Umbro 1996-98 blue third;
- Umbro 1997-99 white away, preferably with strands of Giggs' chest hair stuck in the fabric;
- Umbro 1998-00 Euro home;
- Nike 2002-03 white away (Forlan winner at Anfield);
- Nike 2003-05 white third (Cup semifinal win v. Arsenal's 'invincibles');
- Nike 2007-09 home;
- Nike 2013-14 blue/black check away (Evra stunner at the Allianz);
- Adidas 2016-17 home (shame about our sponsor);
- Adidas 2020-21 white/black zebra pattern third ('the Cavani' as I like to call it);
- Adidas 2022-23 home;
- Adidas 2023-24 white third.

That zebra kit is so amazing that it completely obscures our hideous sponsor at the time.
Clearly some other great shouts in here - most I don't disagree with at all.
However - am I the only one who actually kind of likes the 2012-2013 table cloth home shirt? Sure it was our last great season which helps, but I actually kind of loved the uniqueness of it. I think something similar but with a slightly less pronounced checkered pattern would look pretty rad IMHO

The black one with the red line from 07/08 is hard to beat
That blue snowflake is a beauty. I’d almost forgot about it.
Vodafone and AIG kits for me.
@FrankDrebin
cant even post media when copied from another post as im still 'new'. but in regards that 06/07 kit The feel of this was great. especially in long-sleeved. I ruined it though with Heinze 4 unfortunately. My other favourite was that beautiful 08 blue away which I also ruined with that little turd Tevez 32

95-96 home is the first one I ever owned. I love some of the Adidas and Nike kits but the Umbro kits are just next level IMO. We need more collared shirts.Think it's mostly the ones I had when was a certain age, loved these from when I was around 11-14 years old.

Always liked the 2004 away (maybe 3rd).
White with the tiny red & black stripes

I will forever associate the Sharp kits I had as a kid with our empire building successes, so it is hard for me to look past those.
They were with us for so long too, deeply ingrained and am completely biased here!
Apart from the kits, no other logo has looked as good as Sharp did imo.

The 1993 home shirt with the shoelace in tbe collar was the first one I owned so will always hold a place in my heart however the Blue and White one from around 1994/95 that had all the past a present players name embroidered in to it has always been one of my favorites as has the 98/99 home shirt with the Umbro signs up the sleeves and the zip in the middle of the collar.
85 kit for me. Unfussy design, badge in the middle, trefoils on the sleeves. V neck collar with a thick black and red band.
Pinstripe short shorts with the devil logo on it.
Away white and blue third in the same designs.
No adidas three stripes on the shirt at all.
The old badge, the best one.

Pretty simple for me for the most part-- Loved the kits from our winning seasons, hated the kits from our losing seasons. Maybe one or two outliers...
Don't really care for any of the second or third shirts that aren't white or black.

Just pretend there is the image FrankDrebin posted of Ronaldo wearing the 06/07 home jersey here (it didn't let me quote with the image as I'm a newbie)
Yes this one. Beautiful with a capital B. The kit
The shade of red is just right, as are the crest and white collar. Classically done.
Bit off topic, but when I was a kid. What a feeling it was putting on a pair of united socks, the stripes, how they came up so high. Special feeling. I never had a jersey until the age of around 17, I was working and could afford one then. It was the white and gold reversible top, 01/02 season? I remember it was quite thick and warm but maybe that was to do with it being reversible.
Another favourite and maybe an unpopular opinion? The Van Persie tea towel. It grew on me and of course we won the title in Fergies last season.
Dishonorable mentions go to, the 13/14 white third kit with the red trim, it looked like some kind of drs/nurses uniform. Most of the Chevrolet kits too down to the ghastly logo.
