Adidas Unveils Manchester United 2019/20 Home Shirt
Manchester United are putting last season behind them as
quickly as possible by launching their new Adidas home shirt for the 2019/20
season – a landmark year which celebrates the 20th anniversary of their famous
1999 treble winning season.
The 2019/20 home kit
features an all-new crest design, and intricate detailing paying homage to the
incredible treble triumph and it’ll be worn on pitch for the first time at a
Legends charity match against Bayern Munich, a game which marks the anniversary.
At a glance it’s smart new design, and on closer inspection tributes to the
1999 season run throughout.
The incredible 1998/1999 season saw United make history by
becoming the first club ever and since, to win the Premier League, FA Cup and
UEFA Champions League. Yeah, they used to be pretty good. History was made when
United battled back from behind to defeat Bayern Munich 2-1 in Barcelona, with
goals from Teddy Sheringham and, now Reds manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The minutes of when those famous goals – scored in the 91st
and 93rd respectively – are shown on each sleeve of the new jersey for the
forthcoming season. The dates of the three title wins are also displayed along
the bottom of the shirt.
An all new commemorative crest design of bold black with
gold stitching takes inspiration from the one worn that season, and white
shorts and black socks complete the kit.
The home goalkeeper jersey will come in a tiger pattern
featuring a dark purple two-tone design, referencing the top worn by Peter
Schmeichel during the 98/99 season, and we ain’t mad about that. Definitely
seeing a touch of the 90s coming back on ‘keeper shirts net season and that’s
to be embraced.
The first team will wear the jersey in Perth on 17th July,
during their preseason tour, against the Championship’s longest serving team,
Leeds United.
