Manchester United Kits 2017/18

Unfortunately, I associate the Chevrolet-logo with american cars. And american cars with the 80ies. And the 80ies with... ugh.

However, except the logo, all the versions look ok to me.
You associate the logo of an American car company with American cars? That's weird.
 
I associate the Adidas logo with cheap quality garments which are the foundation of African Slave trade.

The new retro pattern is even worse as it takes much longer to do and has the tears of slavery captured in each weave. Thank God they didn't do the back.
 
No, I agree, terrible shirt. That pic of Giggsy is actually flattering, it looked fecking awful in real time. It's nostalgia for nostalgias sake. People lap that shit up regardless of whether the thing they're being nostalgic about was ever any good in the first place. Give it a couple years and a 'tribute' to our grey kit will probably be seen as the height of retro cool.



I'm not even in my 40s, but feck yeah. Lovely kit.


The difference is that early 90s kit was well liked...however the grey kit...well...wasn't. We could divide nostalgia into ..'good nostalgia' and 'grey kit nostalgia'. I think the 1985 kit falls into the same category as the Madchester style away - loved for whatever unknown reason. I loved that too.

And I had the 83 home and white away. But yeah it looked great in blue as well.
 
The marketing of the design of 90/92 kit has totally sucked me in, I must admit.

Seemed like a much simpler time.

I'm going to buy it aren't I?

Feck me...Do you live in a woven straw hut surrounded by hand(self) crafted materials?
 
Slightly off topic here but I need some help getting the current 3rd jersey with Rashford on the back in M. I've looked at every website and the only one I found the jersey on was Sports Direct. The problem with that is I have had problems with them when I've gotten jerseys printed before with the name and number usually out of position too far down the back. I've never had any issues with other websites. I was going to just buy the jersey there and get the name printed again but it turns out new names and numbers are being introduced next season so this is the last time I can get this seasons printing on it. Thanks in advance for any help.
 
I think I'll lose my Adidas virginity with this new one. I haven't had a United shirt since Moyes' season (that shirt being by far the best thing about that time) so I'm looking forward to getting the new one on my back (Lingard #14 natch).

Check out Classicfootballshirt and they generally start getting this season's shirt in bulk at this time of year.

Cheers for the reply! :) I had a look on there. They actually have one with Mata on the back but nothing else. There is an option to request a jersey and they will look into for you so I did that. I think they will email me if they find it. Thanks again!
 
Today I have received the new home shirt. I like it. However I ordered a XL black away shirt and I have received a medium grey away shirt. Maybe Jack Wilshere might be interested. In the meantime I'll see what the seller will do for us.
 
I love our new black shirt don't get me wrong, but why can't they just make something like this as an outfield kit?

We had this exact kit pretty much under LVG didn't we?

We didn't win a single game in the black kit that year and it was the same kit that Shaw broke his leg in :(

We did have the obligatory 3-2 win at some point during the season vs Southampton wearing it and beyond that I think you may be right :confused::confused:

Not at all, that was a black round neck and had that pattern across the front. Plus it was orange, not red.
 
Leaked pictures of our new third kit, still not sure about it but looks much better than the previously leaked pictures.

I like it. The black away kit leak turned out worse in real life but the third kit seems to be the other way round.
 
Dont like the design and also our badge should be the original colour. I like the fabric and silver shiny coulour though, but they could have done something better. All in all disappointing
 
Sorry, but I think the Busby Babes Statue makes the shirt look a bit tacky.

I like the shade of grey they have used though. Almost metallic and car-like...

Chevrolet may of had a say in that!

Yep, they should have left it out, even if it is a nice idea and tribute, but it doesnt belong on a football shirt. The colour and fabric look nice, the silver/metallic grey is fantastic and something new for us. I am also not sure about the dots, should have done a more discrete pattern or leave it out and it would be excellent.
 
I haven't read all pages so don't know if someone has mentioned it but grey....really??? what the hell are they thinking???

The last time we played in grey we needed to change the shirt mid season because they players couldn't see each other very well.

Now I know it may have been an excuse from the players for that game v Southampton (I think) but it makes sense.

Football is a sport played at a rapid pace using the peripherals against a background of a crowd. You need to be able to spot the players in your peripheral vision.

Bright colours will stand out (successful teams have traditionally had strong home colours), grey will blur into the background.

Can't believe we will make this mistake again in the age of sports science.
 
I thought it looked horrible in the leaks but it's actually not that bad. Still wouldn't get one though.

I like it, but not as an actual kit for the team on the pitch. It would be cool to own as a specialty item, or some kind of "one off" tribute event.
 
The black one and the grey one are absolute gash. What are people seeing that make them think otherwise
 
Absolutely fecking dogshit, that one.

Why not just have the grey dots fading upwards instead of the goofy design?

That with a proper (sewn) red crest would've looked good.

looks like a training kit. Or a pajama. Doesn't look like a match kit at all.

Agree, wouldve been nice without the statue, now it just looks a bit cheap.
 
Not a fan, but I don't buy shirts anyway, so it doesn't really matter what I think.

Still, the 'black' one looks a lot more grey in person that I expected, and this one is undoubtedly grey. Too much grey. Give us a bit of colour!
