No, I was hoping to start a conversation and see if one or two people had a good story I could possibly feature on the website I linked to.

First United shirt?
96/97 #20 SOLSKJAER
96/97 #20 SOLSKJAER
Just means we're old!
Bought retrospectively as vintage then I guess?
Edit: Ah! That black one not THE black one.
Going back a ways... but this is the first kit I got as a young lad. Probably had the same stains in it as well
That's a cool one. ITV showed the documentary about Admiral kits last week. It's well worth a watch if you're able to get itvplayer. Think it's available for another couple of weeks.Going back a ways... but this is the first kit I got as a young lad. Probably had the same stains in it as well
Nah! Blessed with the best kit that ever existed!
First kit of my own was the 95/96 away kit. The one we wore vs Boro when we won the league at the Riverside.
98/99 home kit was my first 
The first kit I wanted was the red lace classic.. and the green and gold. Couldn't afford them though so I didn't get my first kit until the stadium shirt. Remember going to JJB sports and getting it. Top, shorts and socks. Went home and had a kick about straight away. Jumpers for goalposts. Carefree. Oh the memories.
Cant remember if it was definitely the first but it was mu favourite as a nipper.
may first one aswell. Loved this kit
closely followed by black Sharp Viewcam
Yep that and if I remember rightly the green and gold kit around that time too although I had to wait for my brother to pass that one down.
I know I had one of the Sharp kits as a kid, I think it was the 96 one though I don't remember the badge being in the centre but it's the one that looks more familiar
The best kit there ever was and ever will be.
Short sleeved version was my first. Loved it. Me getting a football kit was like Charlie Bucket getting a bar of chocolate.

You ate it?
The idea here is great but as much as I understand why they won’t put the Umbro logo on them it really does look stupid without it.
It was that rare I had to.
First kits I ever bought were the 01/02 Centenary reversible one and the 02/03 home shirt with Solskjaer 20 on the back, which must have been right around the release of the 02/03 one. I was about 15 or 16 and had just gotten my first summer job and my first debit card, so I was able to order them off United's web store for shipment to America (where they were pretty much impossible to find otherwise). Still have & wear them both.
This was the first one which I still have. A gift from my uncle.
The first United one I bought was from 2006/07 season infact
My first United top would be this one:
I may still have it somewhere.
this is my one too! Followed by the green and gold and then the black sharp one. Adidas also had some lovely shirts before we signed with Umbro but they were before my time really.
Mine was the 96-98 home shirt. I thought I looked the bees knees in it. I had the collar up like Cantona.
Yeah why won't they? If umbro were still our manufacturer they would I assume.
That was my first
My mate got Hughes on the back on his days before he left
This one for me too- with Cole on the back!
No chance on earth Adidas will allow them to sell Umbro branded gear.
From the 1994/1995 title winning season, though unfortunately I was only 4 years old and wasn't able to enjoy or appreciate that in real-time.
Well my first was Bournemouth's 81-82 kit... My grandmother went to England and was to buy me a Utd kit.. You know Adidas red kit.. But I got another red Adidas kit. Finally got the red 81-82 Utd kit months later.
Think it's the same one I had too. 89/90?
I had the top one and the kind of dark navy/purple one too. They may have been hand me downs from my cousin, but they were ridiculously comfortable. The padding made them great jumpers when it was a bit nippy.I played in goal a lot as a kid too, so had both of these wondrous kits

there were a few recently converted Blackburn Rovers fans in Ireland wearing this jersey at the time. What a team you guys had. The same lads were probably wearing Newcastle jerseys in 96 and are digging them out as we speak

Did you have Le Saux or Batty on the back?
Haha no, but I had Shearer on the back and got the golden Premier League champions badge on the side, so that is a still a treasured item.
Even when I used to watch the Sky Premier League years programme for that season, I used to get nervous and think that we were going to blow the title.
Well then I'm even older. Feck the pair of you. Bloody youths!!
I can barely remember the kit other than being amazed at how silky it felt. It was new too, it wasn't a hand me down.
