[Whiston Blade]

Might have to buy this, first shirt since the PL promotion season, then again, I say that most seasons...

 

[Whiston Blade]

That's got Teletext Holidays written all over it.

Fixed that for you.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Black socks are better. We get promoted in black socks.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

That's got 'promotion kit' written all over it.

Definitely – I can see a promotion where the superstore reduces it to £20 late in the season.

 

[SRBlade]

Too much black on that shirt.

It's looking good on the front, not so good up the sides or on the sleeves.

Which is a shame because the stripes are looking good.

 

[ElephantBlade]

I like it a lot, a bit different.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Wonder how much sports science effects the design - especially around the collar.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Black socks are better. We get promoted in black socks.

True – 2006 and 2017, black socks.

 

[veganblade]

Better than expected but in agreement there's too much black.

Would have liked 3 white stripes down the sides to brighten it up. Excited for the away kit.

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Really like it...
Not sure about the Teletext Holidays-Smacks a bit of Ceefax that
Or Oracle

 

[Chief_Froley]

That's the price tag.

Billys just making sure the tag stays on so he can return it afterwards #SavvySpender

Does anyone know if they'll be doing baby/toddler kits this season? They didn't last year and my boy will be 9 months by the time the season starts, and he still doesn't have a shirt!

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

Then frankly the social services should remove him from your disgraceful abusive household.

 

[Blade58]

I'm in

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Would look better with a black colour and white stripes down the sides instead of on the shoulder aye

Do quite like it, wish it had r&w sleeves though

Still want my purple away kit

 

[WhiteHawk]

First impressions - I'm not sure, looks too much black, but then I thought the same thing about last season's and now I think that one is one of the best we've ever had.

I like it, the only issue for me is how similar it is to the last one.

A proper collar would have given it a different look.

 

[Ricky]

8/10 at least.

I like the black prominence, and the thick stripes are a nice change. It's tidy and well balanced from top to bottom.

Black shorts and black socks = correct.

I don't like the sponsors, Door Deals on the back again is particularly unwelcome. At least Teletext Holidays is in black. Other than that I have no complaints with it. If anything I'd like a better collar and white stripes on the sleeve, not too bothered though.

 

[JordoBlade]

I really liked this seasons promotion strip and this one is just as good. Liking all the black on it, makes for a bit of a welcome change. Well done Utd.

 

[Barney]

I like it it's decent enough but it would've been easy to go with the template of Newcastle's new kit and I think that would've been a much bigger hit with fans. People like the stripes on the sleeves, and also the thickness of the stripes on that template.

This in red and white would've been our best ever shirt IMO.

 

[broomhillblade]

Looks ok to me. Not that I'll be getting one. Old farts like me look ridiculous in football shirts. I buy most of my stuff from charity shops these days in any case. ;-)

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Like that a lot.

If you squint your eyes that's a pint of Guiness

Not quite that easy. I imagine Puma would've had Adidas up in court.

And a Puma template

Is this actually a bespoke design, just for us ? Unless I've missed it, no-one's posted a template of this in the same, or different colours, for any other club. How neat would that be !

I believe it is.

I posted one that was based on Bayern's new kit. Same template it seems. I liked it so much I made it my avatar.

I believe it is.

The standard marketing blurb which came out with it said that it was indeed a bespoke kit:

Once again adidas have provided us with a striking bespoke kit, that will very much look the part as the Blades forge into the new season in the Championship," said Blades Head of Commercial, Paul Reeves.
