The black away is one of our best ever kits IMO. Probably in our top 5 sponsor era kits with these beauts.
What was your favourite United shirt sponsor?
- Thread starter tentan
- Start date
Probably Sharp and AIG in that whenever I see them, they're typically associated with Utd at their most successful. Both had simplistic but nice-looking logos too.
Sharp. We had our best teams and trophies under them. 2 doubles and a treble.
This
Can't say I care for any of them, but Sharp would be my pick if I had to choose.

Having had about 20+ shirt since the early 80's im going to say i hated the old ones. Yes the design on some of them was fantastic but as a supporter and the cost of shirts the fabric used sucked.
5 washes and they was like a stewed tea bag.
I've always loved the away shirts too.
The best looking, feel and quality for me was the away white and gold AIG one.The numbers on the back was black and gold as well. I don't think I've seen a shirt in the world as awesome as this one. That's my opinion.

What did you pick?
Sharp brings great memories but Vodafone was the one that looked best IMO.
SHARP obviously.
The added bonus that in British culture, SHARP stands for Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice is a beautiful addition, especially as this was during the 80s.

Vodafone or Aon as they match the stature of our club, so looked the best. Sharp was far from Sony or Samsung (now) so they can kick rocks. Chevrolet is big business but it just looks awful.
The black AIG away shirt from 07/08 
Sharp was best sponsor. I remember when Lee Sharpe’s brother was trainee at City and the respective clubs’ sponsors described the story.
Sharp View Cam black kit from back in the day
Sharp was when i became a fan
But my first kit was Vodafone. So many good memories. Vodafone wins. What a beautiful kit that was, remember when i put it on in the store and instantly bought it spontaneously. Umbro and Vodafone

We have never had a bad sponsor like Chang beer or one that I have felt particularly fond of. But I quite liked Vodafone and AIG
Have never understood the moaning about Chevy, it looks fine

Chevrolet one is horrendous, ruins all the great shirts we've had over the last few years.
It's gotta be Sharp, hands down. Just imagine how awesome would some of our kits be with a similar, simple white one-word sponsor instead of that Chevy thing, the current pink away one or the black one last season. Fantastic kits ruined by tacky and cheap looking logo
Due to me following in 2006, it’s AIG for me.

Ive got that one with Rooney on the backThe black AIG away shirt from 07/08
Sharp/Umbro by a mile. My favourite shirt has always been the 92-94 blue away one with the white Sharp lettering, followed by the same years home shirt, then the black away shirt from 95.
Sharp, Just for the memories.
Has to be Sharp, a mate of mine went to Old Trafford in the 90’s and bought me shirt, I still have it.
A prized possession.

It’s nice to know we are going back to AIG.

Agreed, Sharp Viewcam black.

Who the hell picked Chevrolet
Yep, the favourite tool of online tech scammers. Nice to be associated with it. Not.
Sharp.
Sharp easily.
I'm glad chevrolet is coming to an end. Still looks hideous on the shirt

Does anyone remember the sharpe adverts in the 80s? They used Gary Bailey mostly, but I think I remember Robbo, Whiteside, Hughes, and Stapleton occasionally.
Sharp are probably best remembered for their association with United, I had a shirt from that era, many years ago.
I prefer clean shirts. The least disliked was Sharp.
Sharp has some nostalgia value, but mostly I really couldnt care less about who our shirt sponsor is - as long as they pay and the money goes to the playing squad is all that matters
Your answer will reveal your age group
Vodafone sponsor was always really clean.
Vodafone, AIG, Sharp, AON then Chevrolet.
