Thanks @Class of 63. Much appreciated!
The green and gold kit was great!You just read my mind. Was about to post this one!
On the other hand, I also the remember the ugliest kit we ever had:
How did the board let something like this happen?
Couldn't agree more. Being a teenager, I was OBSESSED with getting the 96/98 shirt. My dad ordered it on the phone and got it sent to Ireland. Cantona 7 on the back. Amazingly it came a day early and so I had it before it was released in the shops. And yet, looking back, it was incredibly shit. Weird material. Crap collar. Crap shape. Ah the good old days!!!Shame they followed it up with this:
Hated this one. The sleeves felt like tea towels. Never did like badges in the middle either. Rubbish watermarks down the sides, and the 'theatre of dreams' bit was always right on the belly button of the protruding beer belly of paunchy men.
A mather of taste, then.The green and gold kit was great!
And celebration in this instance.A mather of taste, then.
If this was released today, it would smash records. Classic.
TBH anything but the Vodafone and Chevrolet kits.
I hate that obnoxious, brash, Chevrolet logo. Would ruin any shirt
That shirt was a tribute to our "Newton Heath" days. Before we became Manchester United we wore green and yellow. I own that shirt and it's even uglier in person lol.You just read my mind. Was about to post this one!

These ones! My very first jersey!!02-04
That’s my favourite kit too - very radical at the time I remember....The late 70s Admiral home kit wasn’t great, but the white and black away kit with the three black stripes is my favourite non-red kit ever. Please will someone more competent than me post a pic of it?

Radical but not gimmicky, and still classy!That’s my favourite kit too - very radical at the time I remember....
Glad you cleared that up, sure I had one with three stripes but it was cheap and nasty off the market, here's Pancho with three
Edit: Now that’s brought back memories, though not necessarily accurate ones! It was first released with just three vertical stripes, but Adidas claimed that they had three stripes trademarked and threatened to sue United. So an extra stripe was added. The club then reached a settlement with Adidas (possibly an undertaking that they would change kit to theirs once the Admiral deal had expired?) and went back to three stripes.
Yeah three is better. Four was overkillGlad you cleared that up, sure I had one with three stripes but it was cheap and nasty off the market, here's Pancho with three
Thank you so much! Spine-chilling stuff. I had forgotten that Eusebio was in that Benefica team - what a great sport he was and a credit to Portugese football unlike some of his teammates.
Yeah quality that from Eusebio, but I think he was in shock, there was only one place that shot was going till Stepney got his bare hands on it.Thank you so much! Spine-chilling stuff.

Fond memories of this shirt, it was the first shirt my Dad bought me when I was a kid. Still remember going in the sports shop and being bought it, and I still have it tucked away in a drawer.
