New kit

[snb69]

Stripes on the back - I'd advise you watch without sound...

Great - solid backs are crap.

Oh, and I like the black shoulders - our kit should have some black trim IMO.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

They don't deal with maternity leave very well, either...

They're customer relations are very poor (don't handle complaints very professionally) from what I've been told!

Thanks for that. Still underwhelmed. Looks very L1.

Perhaps we're keeping the 70-71 kit relaunch till the PL season.

[WeltonBlade]

It's stripes on the back.

Phew !

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

I like the black socks anyway, we had black socks through most of the 90s when I first started following them so for me they look more quintessentially United than white ones.

 

[Linz]

The most important thing - no away teams coming to Bramall Lane and playing in red!

 

[Ecco1889]

Have we found out why it was held at the airport..last minute booking from alpharooms?
I like it

Yeah same here. black shorts and black socks all the way!

 

[Ricky]

I prefer the black socks. The black on the shoulders goes well with the shorts and socks.

Fuck knows why they couldn't have just unveiled it at Bramall Lane by the way. Might have got a few actually turning up. If you're going to make an event of it at least do it properly.

Yeah, I prefer the kit with black shorts and socks.

Rear sponsor looks to be in the same vein as the main sponsor. Good decisions all round

United Are Back!

 

[FlamingLip]

so many questions. 1. - why am i really that bothered? 2. why the fck is this 'launch' at an airport, not even in Sheffield. 3. - why has my boss accepted my '2 secs just waiting to see if united's new kit has a solid or stripy back' excuse as to why im late for this meeting.

 

[TJB.]

As a company they've got a shite reputation! :-(

I'd have 'Trotters Independent Traders' across the middle if they stumped up decent sponsorship dough.

Think as long as we're not sponsored by Sports Direct or ISIS we're pretty much good to go.

 

[carthesis]

It's far from awful, but I'm not sure I even like it as much as the first adidas kit we got. Might grow on me.

Still not my favourite Blades kit though. I liked the 2012-2013 kit, but always felt it needed a round collar.

 

[Oreyt]

The black shoulders are actually reinforced titanium to deal with the weighty expectations we know they'll be under.

BOOM BOOM.

 

[Smirth]

Does any one know why this whole circus had to take place at the airport?

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

Really not sure on that kit. Just seen a more up close image on Twitter. It will either grow on me or I will end up hating it.

 

[WeltonBlade]

1970s were my formative years - a design classic that modern manufacturing seems incapable of reproducing. [Sigh]

And for that matter, I could say the same about the players [BIGGER sigh]

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

I love the new kit, but I never buy it for myself so can afford to give each new kit plenty of lee-way.

I buy it for the little'uns but thats just to make sure the kids/parents at the Man United/Man City infested schools round our way know we support of proper club.

 

[MobileBlade]

I spy with my little eye, someone beginning with Foxy

Blonde, female with hair in a bun?

 

[Worksop II]

Fuck knows why they couldn't have just unveiled it at Bramall Lane by the way.

Probably cheaper to pay for the Airport, remember, the Club doesnt own the Ground ...............................

Best. Kit. Ever.

 

[Jermyn]

Don't really like it. Can't be a black away kit with all the black on the home can it. Should have gone back to the future for me

 

[BladeFisher]

Phew !

I'm just waiting till they try red and white diagonal stripes. Then we can be known as the Zebra Blades. I mean taking it a stage further if it was red and white zig-zags

(a) It would be topical - WWI aka naval camouflage
(b) our opponents would get migraine
(c) we might get money from the heritage lottery fund because of (a)
(d) fans can be issued with special sunglasses boosting sponsorship further.
(e) no other team would have it!

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Anyone else think this lad off Hallam is being groomed to be the next Gary Sinclair? I'd never heard of him this time last month, but first he was all over the Legends match and now this.

 

[shorehamview]

Who, pray tell, would you be talking about?

Some scruffy vagabond, no doubt.

 

[St Annington]

It's in Club shop

 

[davidpinder]

i love the fact it says on sale now but i can't see it on the shop site??

 

[MobileBlade]

Its red and white with a bit of black. Can I be the first to congratulate all those that correctly predicted this.
