Yes!
You just read my mind. Was about to post this one!
On the other hand, I also the remember the ugliest kit we ever had:
How did the board let something like this happen?
The green and gold kit was great!
No love for the 2009/10 kit with the black stripe?
Shame they followed it up with this:
Hated this one. The sleeves felt like tea towels. Never did like badges in the middle either. Rubbish watermarks down the sides, and the 'theatre of dreams' bit was always right on the belly button of the protruding beer belly of paunchy men.
Couldn't agree more. Being a teenager, I was OBSESSED with getting the 96/98 shirt. My dad ordered it on the phone and got it sent to Ireland. Cantona 7 on the back. Amazingly it came a day early and so I had it before it was released in the shops. And yet, looking back, it was incredibly shit. Weird material. Crap collar. Crap shape. Ah the good old days!!!
A mather of taste, then.
And celebration in this instance.
TBH anything but the Vodafone and Chevrolet kits.
I hate that obnoxious, brash, Chevrolet logo. Would ruin any shirt
If this was released today, it would smash records. Classic.
I liked the 2007/08 entire group of kits, each one was understated, classy and beautiful.
2006/07 home was quirky but iconic.
1994-1996 Home Kit is lovely.
In recent years, only one I liked was the 2016/17 kit... if we had been more successful, would have been more fondly remembered IMO.
Away kit wise, this year we have had some nice ones IMO but shame the football hasn't quite brought out the beauty in them.

That shirt was a tribute to our "Newton Heath" days. Before we became Manchester United we wore green and yellow. I own that shirt and it's even uglier in person lol.
Toss up between the home 87-88 kit (first kit I got) or the black 93/94.
These ones! My very first jersey!!02-04
1977. Was a white with 3 black stripes down one side, loved it, bought a retro one few years back, but it shrunk .. the Cantona black as I call it is another. As for red one love the 99 treble shirt got one of them with the champions league logo on it..
That’s my favourite kit too - very radical at the time I remember....
Really liked the 1994/95 away kit in blue and white when I was younger. It was a touch of class by the club to add the players names it as it made me intrigued to find out whose these great men were.
Edit: Now that’s brought back memories, though not necessarily accurate ones! It was first released with just three vertical stripes, but Adidas claimed that they had three stripes trademarked and threatened to sue United. So an extra stripe was added. The club then reached a settlement with Adidas (possibly an undertaking that they would change kit to theirs once the Admiral deal had expired?) and went back to three stripes.

Radical but not gimmicky, and still classy!

Glad you cleared that up, sure I had one with three stripes but it was cheap and nasty off the market, here's Pancho with three
Yeah three is better. Four was overkillGlad you cleared that up, sure I had one with three stripes but it was cheap and nasty off the market, here's Pancho with three
The grey kit was the best...............Actually I liked them! I remember that game when the players wore it then changed at half time. I am fairly sure it was nothing to do with superstition and everything to do with visibility but it still made a good story for the media to twist.
Thank you so much! Spine-chilling stuff. I had forgotten that Eusebio was in that Benefica team - what a great sport he was and a credit to Portugese football unlike some of his teammates.
The 1982-84 away (white) and 3rd (blue) were just amazing.
I prefer strips with a round neck rather than a collar or v neck hence why I like 2008 so much.
I'm a sucker for the '60s long-sleeves design, but 92-93 will always hold a special place in my heart.
02-03 is probably 3rd in my Top3.

06-07 was fantastic.
Yeah quality that from Eusebio, but I think he was in shock, there was only one place that shot was going till Stepney got his bare hands on it.
Fond memories of this shirt, it was the first shirt my Dad bought me when I was a kid. Still remember going in the sports shop and being bought it, and I still have it tucked away in a drawer.
