2017-18 home kit

[Booker4]

Better than last season. It would have been better for me if we'd had red n white stripes down the sides as opposed to solid black, but I prefer black to solid red. As others have said, what's the back of the shirt like? I wonder if they've not shown the back because it is solid? Personally, at an early glance it looks classier than the Macron one a few seasons back although I preferred the design of the Macron one.

 

[UnitedBlade]

Don't normally get excited about kits but I like this new kit a lot.

Well done United, seems most people like it.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

I like it. I wonder if the badge is embroidered - the transfer ones always look a bit tacky to me.

 

[Jehovah]

Fuck it, my shirt buying embargo is over

I would be sincerely surprised if Adidas made us a kit with a transfer badge.

You're not old enough. Have a look at my avatar.

Promoted once in white socks. Relegated 5 times in white socks. Languished in League 1 for 4 years with White socks. Changed to red, that didn't work. Went to black and hey presto!

 

[SteveBlade]

It's fine, but it could be the nicest Blades shirt we've ever seen and the sponsor would still ruin it.

 

[Bladesman]

Looks very nice indeed. I didn't know Teletext Holidays were still around.

 

[bigbirdblade]

Launched just before Father's Day. I'm turning into a cynical old fart.

I thought that

Stripes. Well...at least a bit!

 

[bigbirdblade]

Is the badge embroidered? Please yes.

 

[Wards]

Wouldn't have minded white socks but on the whole it's an absolutely belting kit. A solid 8.5/10 in my book.

Sponsor doesn't look any better/worse than alpharooms did in my opinion

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

I agree SteveBlade , it's a pretty tacky sponsor.

However it still pisses all over 'Mr Tom' and 'ChupaChups'.

Visually it's quite nice, until you read the fucker.

It could be worse.

Imagine if we copy them lot in S6 and put "MC CABE" on the front.
It'd cause a riot ha ha.
Having the name of the owner on the shirt is such a vanity project / dictatorial thing.

 

[Bladesway]

If only there were a thread somewhere with suggestions of how to remove the ironed on sponsors logo.

I feel like you're saying that there is.

Link please.

 

[Treeton Blade]

Nice kit but thought the Teletext holidays was a joke!

So we don't release an end of season Dvd, cos 'no one buys them anymore',
Then our shirt is sponsored by somat that died out last century
Who's sponsoring the away shirt, Spangles or Bradleys records?

Be an even bigger riot if we put "Abdullah bin Musa'ad bin Abdul Aziz" on the shirt.

 

[Damski]

That's a reight good kit. I loved last season's, obviously it will be iconic because of the title win, but it was a good kit anyway. All I wanted on that was the thin black stripes, and now we have them! It's hard to be unique with a kit that loads of other teams have, but that is a great effort at individuality. Can't wait to see Billy kiss the (embroidered, surely) badge on that after completing a hatrick at the sty.

Depends on how you define success and how long you've been watching United. If you can ever expand the definition of success to playing in the top division, it's somewhat different.

64 - 75 we were in white socks for every season except one. I can promise you some of the best sides we've ever had played in that era. OK, one relegation from the top tier during that time and it all started to go horribly wrong after the relegation of 75-76 (76 - 81 was all in white socks as well)

It's a great shame that some of our younger supporters have had to put up with a lot of lower league football since 1976 as we all have had to.

But older supporters will remember the great sides of the sixties and seventies that were dining at the top table ........... in white socks.

That's why we associate with them.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

We're not successful in white socks.

Should go back to red and white hooped socks .

Great video on official site

 

[HighfieldBlade]

I removed the "Visit Malta" from my Macron shirt with isopropyl. Turned the shirt inside out applied the isopropyl dropwise to the back of the transfer, allowing it to absorb into the material. The transfer started to bubble up and then I carefully peeled it off. Needed to repeat it to get rid of remnants.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

In fairness, Teletext holidays is purely a continuation of the old company based on....teletext. It's now just like your First CHoice, Thomas Cook in that it has a fab website where I guess all of it's trade is done upon.

They even advertise on t'tele.

Not quite as archaic as you'd believe.

 

[Rodders]

CONFIRMED: striped back

White socks do look much better. I just hadn't realised the number of relegation's we'd had in them.

 

[Small Mendonca]

At first glance, not as good as last year.

On closer inspection, love it! Shame we haven't got white socks with it but never mind. Love the thin black stripes either side of the red and white stripes.
