New Kit Unveiled

Tuck Your Shirt In Gabby! :)

The worst kept secret on the internet was finally made official today when United unveiled their new Nike shirt (the reserves actually wore the kit two days ago when they played Curzon Ashton).

As always with a new kit, it has received a mixed reception. Personally, I like it. If you look really closely you will also spot the AON logo on the front.

Nike are certainly very pleased with it.

The improved Nike ‘Dri-Fit’ fabric, now 13 per cent lighter than previous kits, helps to quickly evaporate moisture by drawing through the fabric to the surface and to keep players dry.

Innovative ventilation zones are placed along each side of the jersey to enhance breathability, by up to 7 per cent compared to previous kits, and allow air to pass across the whole torso. These zones have up to 200 tiny laser-cut holes, backed by Nike’s innovative halo application which prevents ripping without reducing air flow. An additional ventilation zone is placed below the waistband on the shorts at the base of the spine.

The jersey’s new double-knit structure gives it a sleeker appearance, while offering 10 per cent more stretch, and also boasts a new dynamic fit, cut to follow the natural contours of the body while allowing for maximum airflow and movement.

Woohoo… exciting stuff.

Nani says, “I think it looks really good and it feels nice.

    There’s a ‘Believe’ in the inside of the shirt, just behind the MU crest…Just to remind the players never to stop believe in victory!!

    I like the shirt, but I would like a different shade of the red coulour! Some seasons ago, it was the same, the shirt was pink-red, but then after the pre-season matches, the colour was re-adjusted…. and the design at the back of the shirt is quite cool!

    And the collar finally makes its comeback! Can we expect some Cantona-ish heroics from Berbatov??? :lol:
