Manchester United unveiled the third kit that the players will wear this season.
On Tuesday morning, the club launched the team’s new alternate kit, which pays homage to both its rich history and its revered symbol: the Red Devil. Fusing the past with the present, this jersey features a clean and bold design that lets this iconic emblem speak for itself.
This time around, Manchester United has once again collaborated with Adidas to create an alternate jersey that echoes the spirit of the institution’s illustrious past. The brand’s designers have investigated the club’s archives and have been inspired by the jacket that was used back in 1909, when the team was champion. The result is an eye-catching kit that stands out in the stands as well as on the pitch.
A crisp white base heroically embraces this design, providing the perfect canvas for the new Red Devils’ emblem to take center stage. As a complement, the shirt has the elegance of the three white Adidas stripes that adorn each sleeve, harmoniously uniting the past and the present. This set is crowned with a striking red ribbed crew neck, adding a modern touch to this timeless classic.
Following the release of this jacket, an Adidas spokesperson expressed their enthusiasm for this remarkable creation: “For this season’s alternative kit, our designers drew inspiration from the 1909 jersey, providing the perfect backdrop to amplify the famous identity. of the club: the Red Devil”.
“This design is intentionally understated, inspired by current streetwear trends. Plus, it features a carefully chosen cloudy white background to let the Red Devil shine through and inspire the players on the pitch,” he added.
Understanding the profound meaning of this symbol, the German brand is proud to present a design that can seamlessly transition from the streets to the pitch. The minimalist, yet striking approach to this jersey reflects current trends and respects the club’s heritage. The jersey that players will wear on the pitch features HEAT.RDY technology. It will help them stay cool and comfortable in every game. Designed to wick away moisture and regulate body temperature, this cutting-edge technology will allow footballers to focus on their game and perform at their best on the pitch.
For its part, the jersey made for fans features AEROREADY technology. It is designed to keep the body dry and comfortable, making it the perfect garment for every day.
It should be noted that both versions of this shirt are made with 100% recycled materials. In line with adidas’ commitment to reduce plastic waste, this initiative marks a further step towards its ambitious goal of replacing virgin polyester with recycled alternatives in its products by the end of 2024.
