2017-18 Away Kit - PHOTOS

[Jon Bon II]

I'm colourblind and even I can tell it's purple.

I'm a mole with no eyes and it looks purple to me.

So. The away kit has been rumoured to be purple for months (at least 2). The template is the template that pretty much everybody expected...

The shirt turns up purple, on the template expected and everybody is horrified that it's "rushed" and "blue"

 

[DifferentClass]

Would have much preferred it with purple shorts.

Ah well, I can see myself getting used to it. The top is nice though.

Don`t know how to upload the video!

 

[mattbianco1]

Needs purple shorts, not white, imho.

I imagine there will be some for if ever we play a team in White. Leeds maybe if the ref says we can't wear the home kit.

 

[SelbyBlade]

How many people need their eyes testing on here? It's purple!

Yeah and the Emperor is wearing clothes also. Definitely Blue on the email they sent me.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Why is it that every promotional shot for every clubs kit the players look pissed off? Is it supposed to be intimidating?!

 

[JordoBlade]

It's purple and it's a simple design of beauty. Take my money just like you did for the home shirt.

I was just about to say the same. And that purple/blue spectrum is normally one I have trouble with, but it is definitely purple. Not reight bothered about away kits normally, but quite like the simplicity of this.

 

[FinchleyBlade]

I dont understand how anyone can look at that and NOT see that its purple? Get your eyes looked at folks.

Its horrible anyway.

 

[bladesadviser]

Its bluey purple and its in the area of blue that we shouldn't go anywhere near!

imagine if the pigs away kit comes out and its a dark maroon we would take the piss for weeks because its in the area of red!!

Black, Yellow, very lime green or orange for me and there is no ambiguity!!!

It's a kit to wear when we can't wear the home one. Black shorts and dark purple shorts doesn't work, you'd need white shorts at some point.

 

[Angef1Blade]

Not happy - looks blue (in a Cadbury sort of way) but will have to see it IRL before I pass final judgement. All the fecking colours in the world and they have to choose this one though FFS. and white shorts look shit anyway

Apparently this was by Adidas ....



...... so now our new second kit can also double up as a white third shirt to keep the traditionalists happy.

 

[Angef1Blade]

That.....is......fucking......GORGEOUS.

Still looks blue -

 

[Liverpool blade]

It's definitely purple!. I quite like it myself and will probably buy one. It's a simple design though as is usual with adidas.

 

[FlamingLip]

am in different. bog standard plain colour template with a Blades badge. nice enough, but no real thought gone in to it other than 'click on the colour you want'.

confused as to the delay on releasing the design.

 

[Right Back]

Looks like a decent effort to be fair, but they're quoting 4-6 weeks for it to be out!
With it not being on the shelves until September, £45.00 for something that will be out of date after just 8 months seems a bit much.

 

[LJBlade]

It's most definitely Purple and I think it looks quite nice.

 

[sportinguista]

At least it means there's no need for a fucking stupid and entirely cash grabbing third kit. It's got white shorts and socks which can be worn instead of the black ones if required and vice versa (change shirt with black shorts and socks at Leeds for example).
It's got no jazzy shite on it either. Blimey, it's like it used to be again.

 

[Beat Jedi]

Same size as on the home kit, though the image on the online store does look a little strange.

Yes I meant compared to last season. Thought it looked bigger on the home shirt as well. Just wish it was a white logo on the shirt and I know it's their logo but can't we just have the words on the shirt? No need for a picture of an actual door on any United shirt! I'm sure people can work out what they do from the company name.

Mine too, saw them in Hyde park with Green Day & Rancid, a good day.

It's changed since last year as it's a different aspect not having the ''.co.uk", there are prescribed maximum sizes by the football league.

Why not have it tiny and hardly visible? I'm sure it'd command fortunes in revenue for the club

 

[YouFUMS]

Why do people get distraught that it might be a shade of blue?
It's not blue n white stripes....that would be ugly.
FTP....they don't have a monopoly on the colour blue, and every shade of that colour.
Come on, we're bigger than that, aren't we?

 

[10-0 win]

Something new this purple, looking ok, anyway stripes whenever possible away too.

BTW Rules regarding away strip and change of colour, only shirt and socks must differ, shorts can be of same colour.(source football league)

When it comes to kits, we are red and they are blue. I doubt they are having stripes so their home shirt and our away could be similar

New striker has also signed today..

Fletch?
