They are short now because of the rules about competition patches and sponsors logos.
Is this next season's home kit for United?
- Thread starter padzilla
- Start date
Jesus have you seen Nike these days... Man this place is wired.
The first "leaks" were apparently always just fan mock-ups based on a pattern from a leaked picture of next season's promotional Manchester United football.
Where is the olive green kit? Hope they release it as a third kit, thought it would be our away shirt
That dark one is the “green” kit. It’s not olive.
This is the first leak. The earlier ones were mockups based off a leaked ball.
So looks like the replica jersey makers in China wasted their time making the 20/21 jerseys in the leaked format.
The stripes along the side of the torso were the nicest
I said nothing about Nikes current designs, I said "the Nike designs we used to have". They put out a lot of great United kits in my opinion, especially in the 00s.
I think the third kit is supposed to be that mad white and black mess isn't it?
Actually you're right. I guess it doesnt look that bad on the players.

I'm ethnic Chinese and I feel offended by the sheer monstrosity of this design

That was a lovely kit . My son has it and I always thought it looks great on .They should do this more often:
TIL about the Adidas stripes no longer being allowed to fill the whole sleeve. I thought it was another of Adidas' total design feck ups of recent times.
Still prefer them short on the sleeve over down the torso, though.

It’s been that way for a long time. I have jerseys from the 2010 World Cup where the stripes only go halfway down the arm.
Already selling these on dhgate
Yeah I know the designs have been there, just didn't realise it was a rule rather than a design choice.
Ah ok. I think it’s a FIFA rule there’s all sorts of nonsense rules for football jerseys.
Weird too.
I wondered about that too. Light black or dark grey as you will, but there are hardly any green tones on my screen. Is it the illusion of photo/computer?
Still if you went here during that period people weren't happy.. It's a hard place to please.
That too
That struck me too:
So which is it?
Disorder? Wilderness? Shadowplay?
Hopefully not New Dawn Fades for Ole or She’s Lost Control Again for Casey Stoney.
I’m opting for Day of the Lords.
FIFA rules would only apply to a United kit if we played in the Club World Cup.
The Adidas designers told me that to avoid there being the need for multiple versions of shirts tailored to the individual competitions they would be worn in, they make sure each kit complies with all the domestic and international rules.
damn I was going to write UEFA initially but thought it might be FIFA. But what you say makes sense, they would have to make a jersey that complies to UEFA rules and one to PL rules. Easier to make one that complies to both.
yeah it was UEFA I read. The manufacturer band on the arm can't be larger than 8cm and must have a "free zone"

Yep 72 pages of equipment regulations. Every designer I have spoken to bemoans its existance, and these are the rules that result in the kits we have. The current kit for example had to have the minutes that the goals were scored removed from those little black bands on the sleeves. Players versions just have blank black rectangles.

it depends. If things go awry for Ole there may be Disorder and some may say She's Lost Control. Some Insight may show a dressing room of Dead Souls and the board will be looking for a new Candidate. The fans will be back to square one, and anxious over where the club is heading, because in the end Love will tear us apart.
i see you have Insight.
I remember nothing.
Might improve the Atmosphere on match days at least? And help get the players Interzone

haha. As you said.
Home and away shirts are looking like some of our best in a long time in my opinion.
I just hope the third kit is something simple too, but I've heard the rumours of dazzle camo!

For anyone interested in this kind of thing, the designer of our 2015-16 kits has written a piece about growing up as a United fan and then having the honour of designing our kits: https://nationalfootballmuseumstrip.com/my-first-kit-inigo-turner-design-director-adidas/
You could be right according to this:

Waiting for the day we get rid of that Chevy logo.
Apparently the reason that the current arsenal away kit is so subtle, rather than bold like the bruised banana shirt of the early 90s, that it is not allowed by UEFA rules to have kits with too much contast in the colours. The only exceptions are home kits with stripes, because they concede that these are traditional and can't be messed about with.
Away shirts have to pass tests with equipment to make sure they are either light or dark, and nothing in between. So they had to keep dialing back the pattern on the Arsenal kit until it was very feint.
Basically, with all that in mind, I can't see that the third kit will have that dazzle camo all over it, as it wouldn't pass those tests.
UEFA are killjoys when it comes to modern day kits!
So it’s designed to be hard to detect ... have some people learned nothing from the Worst Ever United Kit Scandal?
So have they got rid of that Zebra looking pile of shite?
