Manchester United have unveiled their new Adidas home kit and it is reminiscent of their shirts of the 1980s and 90s .
It is the first strip made by the German sportswear manufacturer since they signed a 10-year, £750m partnership with the Premier League club. Before that United had been with Nike for 13 seasons.
The shirt will cost £60 from the club’s official online megastore, with a kids’ shirt priced at £50. A baby kit will cost £35.
The Adidas designer Inigo Turner said in a statement on the club website: “We have aimed to break expectations by re-engineering simple but impactful design features such as the classic v-neck collar and the iconic three-stripe detailing down the arms as our commitment to giving Manchester United a truly ground-breaking kit for the 2015-16 season.”
There is also a graphic design on the hem of the shirt taken from the 1990 shirt famously worn by Ryan Giggs in his debut season. The kit, under the motto “Breaking Expectations”, went on sale at selected locations in Manchester and London at midnight and was launched by Daley Blind and Phil Jones.
