The red back is the problem. I don't know why we persist with that in so many home shirts. I'll not be buying it. I'll buy the latest retro one if there is another one of those instead.

The front is nice though.

I think they’ll be selling iron-on white stripes in the club shop…

 

[mattbianco1]

Don’t get me wrong, should always be a central red stripe, but it’s a welcome change once & again to give something different. Some of the Macron efforts were good, despite results Maybe one day we’ll get a central badge and sponsor again…

I'd say it's in the top 5 from the last 20 years with these:

View attachment 216610Not regulation for Stoke by the looks of it. The regulation never existed as far as I can make out.

It's laziness or cheaper to produce without stripes on the back. And it makes it look shite

The regulation definitely exists

That's a UEFA rule.
United have never played in a UEFA competition

Isn't that UEFA competition specific though?

And if it's not surely having black numbers on red and white meets the requirements of it having a Delta L value of greater than 30 (no, me neither!)

 

[SwissBlade]

Despite being firmly in the black pinstripes camp, I like it. Nice and basic.

Colar is awful though and looks like a bad fit in the pics.

No idea why we’ve gone with a solid red back. It ruins the shirt

A 5/10 but it’s not offensive from the front

It's all to do with the contrast.

Inter Milan get away with stripes:


But Newcastle had to apply a white patch in Europe, but in the PL, they were allowed stripes:



Same applies to the likes of Olympiakos, Juventus & PSV etc.
Red on Black and Black on Red isn't deemed enough contrast

Never understood the hate for a solid coloured back, I much prefer it. I think alot striped back looks cheap and it makes numbers and names difficult to read from a distance for anyone too.

Gets a thumbs up from me this shirt, nice and simple, no pin strip and no striped back.

 

[FoxtrotAlphaZulu]

2000-2008 we had a central white stripe every season

I know we've had it before, several times. Always preferred red central. Just looks right.

Reminds me of this

Sheffield United 1983-84 Home Kit

Check out the Sheffield United 1983-84 Home kit by Umbro, worn in the 1983-84 League One season.

I prefer the stripes on the back. But I’d rather we had a white square with black numbers on.

To be honest though from tv or from a distance in the ground with a red back or striped back, I can’t tell the names and numbers anyway, probably due to being colour blind

 

[Boxer Blade]

So it looks like black shorts but what about the socks? Surely it's the official launch of the kit not just the shirt,hopefully for me, black socks with a red top.

 

[Blade58]

Here's my snap analysis:

PROS	CONS
Red and white stripes, innit	No black pinstripe
Quite like that collar, actually	Solid red back
Nice unobtrusive sponsor	Central stripe is white
	Weird arm detailing

Feels like an attempt at a 'back to basics' kit that gets all the basics wrong. Bang average shirt for me.

Here’s another con £72.30

They’ll probably go lime green just to throw everyone off

22/23 Errea was 'ok' design-wise - ruined by the material, the fit and the badge falling off.

And these... Be hard pushed to top the 96/97 for simplistic classic no bullshit red and white striped United shirt. It's borderline perfection.

96/97 is the best ever!

The 73-75 is a classic too, but before my time so I can't really consider it

 

[Thrice]

Red central stripe makes red the more dominant colour which feels right. But with the new shirt the plain red at the back will probably balance that out.

 

[ryza]

Hope to see that flag on the back of the kop at some point. Nice simple design

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

First glance it looks quite nice. It’s when you look closer you see where it could have been way better. The collar is just weird and over-complicated. And the back is unforgivable really when there are clearly no rules stopping us having stripes. It makes no sense at all.

Young Lurch was the thought that sprang to mind.

We play in red and white stripes, solid backs aren't striped so quite easy to see why lots of fans don't like them. Plain backs are normally made from cheap crap, names are impossible to read from a distance anyway, and shirts always look terrible when they look different on one side to the other

Probably the worst home shirt since the John Holland shirt from the pub team brochure, too white on one side, too red on the other with another atrocious Errea neck.

Is the wonky badge mandatory?

Starting to think whoever sent Errea our logo actually sent this

I think it will look decent on the back with the player name and number. I've not had a blades shirt with a name on it for years but I think I'll have to with this:

Big fan of 96/97, would have been less good if it had the circle crest instead of the shield crest. Love the way the sponsor is part of the fabric too, far less tinpot that way.

Yeah, but who's the new goalie going to be?!!

TOP TIP: Press PAUSE on the video to see the shirt for more than 0.25 seconds.
