Manchester United Unveil New 2024/25 Home Kit

 Manchester United football club has unveiled their new home kit for the 2024/25 season. Youngsters players Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Kobbie Mainoo took centre stage in the kit release photo shoot, replicating their iconic celebration sat on the advertising hoardings.

The new home shirt has two shades of red in a gradient design with white trim and takes inspiration from a shirt worn by the Busby Babes in 1952. This was made from reflective materials to aid visibility on the pitch, in the early years of evening games being played under floodlights.

The kit is finished off with traditional white shorts and black socks. A final nod to the club’s rich heritage is a red devil sign-off, found on the front of the accompanying black socks.

Sam Handy, SVP of Product and Design at Adidas, said: “The colour red is consistently fundamental to the club's DNA. There have been many different expressions of it over the years and, for 2024/25, we wanted to do something a bit different.

“We’ve drawn inspiration from a little-known shirt from the 1952 tour, which is a fantastic early example of creative design in match wear and was worn by some of the club’s most legendary players.

“Its colour-shifting appearance was a big influence in this season's modern expression of the home kit, designed to capture attention from all angles on the pitch.”

United had to wait until July 1 for the new kit to be released. Various leaks of the latest Adidas design have done the rounds over the summer with a new front-of-shirt sponsor but all three shirts are only likely to be unveiled later in the summer. That is because the club has a new shirt sponsorship deal with Snapdragon, but the record £60million-a-year deal only came into from July 1, 2024.

United agreed to a new £900million 10-year deal with Adidas last July for the German manufacturer to continue making the kits. Still, Snapdragon will replace TeamViewer as the primary sponsor for next season.

US technology firm Qualcomm Snapdragon agreed to the deal in September. TeamViewer was front and centre on the kits of both the men's and women's teams over the past three seasons.
