I'm sick of all the kits. One kit for two seasons was brilliant and it means they are running out of ideas cos they need a new one each year.
Manchester United Kits 2017/18

I can only see the new home and the black Goalie kit. Where's the other GK kit?
I agree. 3 new kits and 2 new goalie kits is mental. Should be 1 new kit every season and rotate between the home and away (2 years for each kit).
Now I see ours again, on an actual player, I dislike it less, I'm liking the collar a lot, I wish the Adidas stripes went down the arms, particuarly on the long sleeve version but eh.. what are you gonna do.
On a side note, I don't know why they still market long sleeve versions when players don't seem to ever wear them, they all wear the short sleeve with a skin-tight red base layer underneath.

Don't like any of the new united kits this season. That'll be another year I don't buy a united shirt then.
Absolutely love spurs away kit though that looks really smart.

Mata's website has an updated banner promo in the new kit.

He looks like an oddly bearded child in his brothers oversized Rugby top. The sleeves really are annoyingly distracting. The b&w stripes are just too large. It'd probably be okay if you took one of them off.

Home kit is god-awful.. probably the worst I can recall in my lifetime.
We're you alive in 1997, 2003, 2005 or 2013?
This kit is blandly inoffensive at worst in comparison to those.
Nah, the chevron one was worse.
Though I actually think this one looks worse on the players (than it does static) which is usually the only saving grace of a poor kit.
I maintain it's all down to the sleeve stripes.
Edit: and yeah, as @decorativeed says, the 97 one with the weird tartan sleeves, floppy grey collar and huge central badge was significantly shitter. I quite liked the white away version though.

My new home shirt arrived early today from Kitbag. I like how it looks but not overly keen on the collar when wearing it.
Yeah, 97 kit was a complete nightmare of design. Countless things wrong with it, as you say. Then you touch it and it actually gets worse!
Couldnt agree more
Chevron one saved by the 4-3 derby for me in terms of memories associated with but in design terms horrible.
No way.. 97 was iconic in its own way. This doesn't come close.
2003/2004?
Is this the wrong one..
That is indeed a bad kit, but even so I would say the current one edges it due to the sleeves. Only one that comes close.
I liked the 2005 one and it is million times better than the current one.
2013? incredibly bland kit and I hate the black collars, but again a far superior kit to the current edition.
Only one that comes close is 2003. This has shit collars, shit colours, shit sleeves and is a bad fit. Only a moron would be seen dead in it.
The last Nike kit had the same kind of cuffs on the arms as the new one and I don't remember the complaints, it also had a button neck too. The first Adidas kit we had since the new deal had much worse cuffs, in my opinion. They had no reason to be that big.
Problem with new kit apparently.

This is the problem with assessing kits. People automatically associate good memories with good kits. Everyone loves the '99 domestic kit for example, which I thought was a terrible cluster feck of shit ideas at the time. I mean, what was the stupid plastic zip about? And why was it all weirdly ribbed in places!? And the Umbrospasm all down the sleeves was just plain ugly. I still downloaded and play with it on Pro Evo though, cos, hey, it's classic.
Now the European version, that was a kit. Good memories or no.

It looks a lot better on Pogba than it does on Mata tbf. Though I suspect that's probably true of most garish clothing.
@Raees, I meant the tablecloth gingham kit, not the classy Moyes-era one. Only saving grace of his time here.
I agree 99 CL kit was great
Rooney looks like he's about to get seriously stuck into some nawty firm action once he's left 'Spoons. Lindelof looks like a journalist profile photo.
The problem with this kit for me is the black bit on the cuffs comes out from nowhere. You've got the white Adidas stripes on the shoulders, so the white bit is sorted. Then boom. Random black bit when there's no sign of it elsewhere on the kit. Weird design.
Interesting to note that the long sleeved version of the home top doesn't have the stripes on the cuffs
Nike's kits were much easier on the eyes. I do not like the stripes that Adidas is throwing onto the kids.

97 kit was awful. Like one of those DIY United kits from the 80s.

There's black on the shorts and black socks with a white band. It only looks odd when you forget about the rest of the kit besides the shirt, but it's a repeated element on the whole thing.
The home shirt isn't that bad. We've definitely had worse ones, the gingham kit springs to mind... jeez that was horrible.
New pictures of the third kit. It looks much lighter in colour than previous pictures and is not as shiny. Shorts are also white, and not grey as I had previously written. Quite a mess in my opinion.
That's fecking awful.
The white details are almost invisible against the light grey. I can't imagine Chevrolet will be to happy with that.

Looks like my 15 year old brother's bed sheets.

I'd like it if it was plain gray
Worst kit possibly ever that one, absolutely terrible.
Thankfully can't see many times when we'll have to wear this. Can only think of Bournemouth away where we won't be able to wear our home or away shirt.

WTF ? That's awful, I thought we relied on shirt sales, who on earth would wear that ?New pictures of the third kit. It looks much lighter in colour than previous pictures and is not as shiny. Shorts are also white, and not grey as I had previously written. Quite a mess in my opinion.
I'm glad of the Chevy logo on that 3rd kit otherwise we would be truly invisible in it.
The pics of the dodgy ones over the last month or so had got my hopes up as well.
