My first and only go at this malarkey ,3rd sripView attachment 238280

I love these new club crests that AI is coming up with. This one is two ears of corn flanking a Power Ranger. What does that even signify?

I think I’d probably buy all 3 of these … no way we’re lucky enough to get close to as good

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Where exactly has this Mclaren rumour started? Seems that someone on this forum just decided it would look good on a shirt (which it would).

Isn’t that the same logic that you used here?

Here it is. Adidas next season home. Only thing iam Not sure of is the logo- I think the trefoil will be for the away which iam not sure of. Only thing i know is this is the home. 1997 is back baby,

Mclaren won't be sponsoring us, they have no need to sponsor us. They won't gain anything through sponsoring us. Maybe if we were in the Premier league then yes, but in the championship we have nothing to offer them.

Absolute scenes outside the shop when this drops

I actually don’t hate that

Wouldn’t be my first choice but it’s better than this seasons kit.

Sponsorship isn’t for promotion for that type of brand (who hasn’t heard of McLaren?) it’s for hospitality. As principle sponsor you get treated like royalty at the club, meet and great the players, managers, slap up meal and drinks etc… they’ll use it for schmoozing customers, suppliers and dealerships.

I’ve no idea where this McLaren thing came from but as said above if it’s true it’ll be nothing whatsoever to do with McLaren trying to get something they absolutely need none of - exposure.

Maybe if we were a big club with international sponsors, with businesses and fans travelling from all over the world. Our commercial and hospitality is insignificant, especially whilst being in the championship and even in the Premier league we would have to seriously invest in these areas to attract international businesses. Nobody is going to be impressed by a free ticket and meal to watch us against Lincoln.

Censoring the word bum? Are you 4?

Ever thought it might have been "Mum"?

2 new Adidas striped kits. The away one has striped sleeves too


... and a patched back

Almost hope we go for this (awful) Newcastle template just to watch the meltdown from all the people who've spent years wanting Adidas back

Kinda sums up the attitude of the world at the minute. Rather than have a nice kit people would rather we have a monstrosity to wind up the people who wanted that particular manufacturer.

The Fener home kit looks like a standard template, so I wouldn't be surprised to see that as our home one. It's also got a plain back too which is classic adidas

For the avoidance of doubt, I would actually rather have a nice kit.

Where did this McLaren rumour actually come from?

Some alleged ITK I was talking to, who has also claimed we're getting BBD back on a permanent...

 

[Bladeloyal]

Wouldn't be surprised to see doordash sponsor us
Connections to Pejman Nozad and have taken over deliveroo in the UK

Would certainly be popular with a lot of our fans...

It's dem rules init !... particularly on Red/White stripes.

It's not just adidas.

Genuine Question - why do people dislike Adidas as a supplier? I thought, getting a reputable, global, athletic wear specialist would be a good thing?

Is it some sort of old school football snobbery? I see a lot of talk around the likes of Umbro. What would a smaller, niche, more Athletic lead, less high street brand being to the table? Errea were exactly that and, beyond aesthetics, the overwhelming reaction to their products was negative.

I think a lot of it is the assumption that with Adidas comes having a templated kit rather than something Unique.

You know, something unique like this:

I dont mind a template kit so long as it looks good and isnt overly white

I don't. They'd be my first choice every time, and I'm pleased we have them back. Well made, good, consistent fit. I also wear a fair bit of non-United Adidas products.
I've had my Errea and Adidas shirts side by side and the difference in quality is clearly noticeable - for the same price.
Nike, Macron, Errea are the worst ones for me.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

For the avoidance of doubt - all our Errea kits were templates.

We need to do what Sunderland did - square patch for the numbers on player shirts. Stripes on the back for fans. I’d say it was an innovative idea but manufacturers were doing it 35+ years ago.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Yeah, personally, I think having a relationship with a large Ath-Leisure brand does our own brand no harm. I get the template stance, and not wanting to look like an other red and white team, in a given year......, but the pros out weigh the cons for me. Better quality training/non-strip gear = better value for money. If I'm dropping £40+ on a single item of clothing, I want a few years of wear out of it.

Loved the Adidas polo's

United fans like to moan.
Half our fanbase are like Unlucky Alf off the fats show... "United in't FA Cup final? pah, no point gooin t' that. We'll only bluddy loyse!"
