United Kits 2024/25

A question for those of you with vintage shirts - how do you wash them without the foam letters of the sponsors from coming off in the washing machine? Do you wash them by hand?

30 degrees Celsius on a gentle/short cycle, should do it.

Use minimal soap/detergent. No comforters, or just a tiny amount.
Also helps slightly to reverse the kit, so that the sponsor logo is on the inside.
You can also put it in a wash bag, like those made for washing shoes and bras. It will protect the logo from hitting and scraping against the metal of the washer.

If you go above 30 degrees on a longer cycle, it will be much more prone to gradual perishing.

Yeah... it wasn't about that kit, and you missed the point.

I mean, it kinda was though, wasn't it? It was an attempt to bring the tedious Qatar vs Ineos argument into the kit thread by saying we'll never get a green & gold shirt without a full buy out. Which, despite my hatred of the Glazers, is actually quite a good argument for them in my book!

Hard disagree. I think that mock-up kit looks fantastic. It would be a fan favorite.

You're just miserable and angry over nothing.

"Feck this, Cnut that!"
What are you, an angry teenager?

It's yellow & green. Just horrible, horrible colours on a two tone shirt. At the start of any given season, how many people d'you hear say "You know who has a really great kit this year? Norwich!"...No one. No one says that.

You like it because of it's connection to a valid protest movement and that one kit in 1993 that was a kinda well done version of it (but still actually, quite horrible without the nostalgia). Otherwise you have terrible taste in kits.

ALSO: Newton Heath wore Red & White as much, if not more than Green & Gold, and some (including the official site) debate they were ever actually our 'colours' at all. The whole thing is an exaggerated myth based on the 93 kit & the protests. Essentially brainwashing United fans into pretending they like horrible looking mock up kits.

Look, it works as a protest. It's a clever nod to a 'purer' historical time to oppose a modern debasement...but it doesn't ever need to filter into the actual kits. And I will happily die on that hill.

Now that blue one? Very nice kit.

No Qatar vs Ineos debate whatsoever. Not about the kit, but that anyone thinking United would have the freedom to explore anything different with those colours would be wrong - additionally for any huge reset generally within the club

And I don’t care what you think about the colour scheme, my post wasn’t about you
 
'GOLD' rhymes with 'SOLD' that's all there is to it.

I think green and gold was the colours of the original Newton Heath crest.
 
If anybody is in or around Manchester this weekend I’m visiting parents an have the blue shirt in a size double xl brand new with tags free to whoever may want it?

EDIT: now gone.

People who think the Glazers retaining a minority isn't so bad need to consider nothing like this can happen if they do. United still can't celebrate their history properly because the greedy cnuts will be offended. United will still be hampered in everything that they do
Now I agree with the Glazers out sentiment, but one of the few good things that their leadership brings is the fact we won't wear a hideous green and yellow shirt like that one. It's all based on a myth anyway.

Nope, like Mockney said, it's a myth. Newton Heath almost certainly never wore green and gold halves and we never had a club crest on our kits until the 70s.
 
The delay in releasing our kits for next year is annoying. Want to buy them for my kids for holiday this year - they basically live in football kits when we go away.
 
Yeah the kits being released late frustrates me. Loved it when I was a kid and got the new kit for going on holiday.

The re-released 89 blue one is gorgeous, will definitely get that for my birthday.
 
It’s fine…. Id look better without the black three stripe & the weird quilting (basically if it was a more straightforward rehash of the 02-03 kit)

But… sure. You have to needlessly feck with kits a certain amount to justify making a new £100 shirt every year so… pfft
 


No idea if this is accurate but looks legit to me.

You'd need a neck like a prop forward for that to fit well. First look is it's too wide for me. Like the rest. Why can't it be crew neck or collar. V neck jerseys suck.
 
Counterfeit based on a mock up. No one knows the final design yet.

This. Weirdly this year our kits haven't had anything near what would be considered a leak yet. Even though routinely we are one of the last clubs to reveal our kits, usually by now we have seen something that isn't just a mock up. I wonder if the sale of the club plus teamviewer wanting out is holding things up.
