That shield burns my eyes. What was wrong with the 07-08 shield?
Utd Kits 22/23

Looks like a Notts Forest kit from the 90s.
Trying to get our kit the same level of attractiveness as our on-field play.
Collar good. Shield awful
They deserve better than us. What Yeezy up to these days.
Not my cup of tea.
What about if we put it in a shield? Any takers...
Will look more like this. The shield will take a bit of getting used to but it's decent.
That fecking shield is horrendous. We should put a white background on the badge again.
That’s kinda .. shit.
Our marketing team either has no taste, or simply aren’t firm enough in saying no to mediocre designs. With our clout we should be able to demand much higher standards.
I blame Umbro. The sow on badges and shields have always looked horrendous.
It looks ugly and yet bland at the same time.
It reminds me of the 99 kit with the collar and zip, my favourite ever United shirt.

How on Earth did you know we'd not only put a shield around the badge, but you also nailed the exact shape and shitness of it.
That looks like absolute shit.
Umbro made lovely kits.
I used to get hold of the actual player shirts back in the day, so much nicer and long sleeve ones too.
Sold them off to a collector in Asia for about £400 each around 2006
I disliked them...because growing up they reminded me of City and Liverpool..but they're kits were too over the top.
Adidas has really shafted us, thought we were in for some upgrades.
How exactly?
City were like playing 2nd division football and Liverpool were just a poor pop band trying to play football.
On this years kits? Would have been pretty difficult to top I'd have thought, probably our best set of kits for years.
I do agree though that generally this adidas era has been particularly underwhelming.
Because when I was a young'en they wore Umbro. City were up and down, not sure why that's relevent.
Both clubs wore Umbro branded kits in the 70s & 80s, before United did. It's a lot like how fans that grew up in the 90s associate adidas with Liverpool (being too young to remember us wearing adidas kit first) and have reacted badly to them making United's kits now.
I really don't like the shield outside the badge.
Edit: So, who's the first player to put their collar up ?

Yea, because United have never won a league with Adidas.
Umbro were a Manchester based company, so made sense for them to use historically.
In 77-79 period ... United wore Admiral who provided our best ever away shirt and had to change design as Adidas sued them for using 3 stripes
I know all of that, but for some people younger than myself, seeing United with the three stripes simply reminds them of Liverpool in the 90s - because they didn't grow up seeing us in adidas kits like we did. And for Spoony, he had similar feelings about United in Umbro (who I was a big fan of).

New kit, usual moans.
That shield is fecking shite. Dont mind it otherwise, but that shield, feck me, its terrible
It is hard to get over the fact that the shield looks cheap.
Apart from the 1st season and this seasons kits Adidas have been pretty shit.

So, I've been interested in the new kit, scrolling through Twitter to find any more pictures of any leaked ones.
I've accepted our kits look horrendous.
I like it, better than anything they put out in the last couple of years. This year's was fine, but this one must be one of the best since adidas took over. The collar is great.

This usually correlates to us playing well. Optimistic for next season.
i like it. i get my nan to knit our kits for me every year. i have a feeling i won’t have kids beating the shit out of me for wearing this one as it will be undetectable to the untrained eye.

It looks good in the pics with the smaller shield, hopefully they're the more accurate ones.
Was there a year when we were satisfied with the new season's kit? 
Who or what is designing these ?
Yuck.
Yuck.
Would be a surprise, we usually have at least one light coloured kit. White/Blue/Pink/Grey.
I like the black and orange kit.
