Best United XI by kits

[mattbianco1]

Bit of Friday afternoon fun.

Using the last 11 home shirts. Make a workable Blades XI using that shirt only once.

Rules:

• The player you choose must've played a league game in that shirt.
• Shirt can only be used once.
• GKs need to have played in the season with that shirt (i'm not putting up all the GK shirts too)

The last 11 shirts (i've numbered them to make it easier to reference):


For help remembering the squads if you don't want to try from memory:

4. Baldock - 7. Coutts - 3. Norwood - 11. Quinn

Swap Norwood for Fleck and that's pretty spot on IMO

I did think that, but I'd say that season Norwood was immense

He was but surely you can't break up the holy triumvirate

2. Henderson
8. Brayford
7. Basham
11. Maguire
1. O’Connell
4. Duffy
5. Coutts
3. Fleck
9. Murphy
6. Sharp
10. Ched

At peak of their Blades powers I can't see anything beating this

Also so many opportunities to pick Basham and you didn't take it!
