NEWS. . . BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Is there anything bigger than an old-fashioned football uniform?
Manchester United’s new away kit for the upcoming 2024/25 season has been launched and it has all the hallmarks of an old classic.
The royal blue blouse is decorated with an embossed “M”, creating a very 90s style and, of course. . . The neck of the polo club.
He is already giving fans Eric Cantona and David Beckham memories of United’s golden era.
If you think you’ve ever noticed anything similar to this kit, you won’t believe it, given its striking similarity to the club’s 1992/93 away shirt.
Adidas designer Sam Handy admitted that the manufacturer had tried to “resonate with enthusiasts with special nods to their club and culture. “
He said: “Through features such as the collar and a nostalgic design that evokes beloved design codes, we champion elements of the city and club’s history, complemented by high-end fashion main points to stand out on the streets, in the stands and on the field. ‘
The Red Devils sparked plenty of nostalgic emotions in an epic generation of kits.
With that in mind, we take a look at some of the club’s most productive players during the decade.
United’s new away kit is almost animated through the one they wore over 30 years ago, so let’s start there.
You can see the similarities between this and United’s release.
The shades of blue are different and the 92/93 kit is incredibly bold, with a huge Manchester United logo posted on the front.
But it is undeniable that the inspiration is there.
What a 1992/93 season for United. Si away kit is not enough, take a look at this home shirt.
All the boxes are checked when it comes to nostalgia.
The collar is open with red lace and other shades of red on the main frame of the shirt.
And notable sponsor Sharp. It is United’s most productive vintage, as evidenced by the name’s victory celebrations in 93/94.
Did we mention that the 92/93 season is iconic?
This yellow and green number will almost split reviews on whether or not the kit looks smart.
But you’re not looking for a Norwich City home shirt: it was another United classic, designed in a nod to the Newton Heath (the club’s original name) colors of the late 19th century.
You only have to go back to the last two seasons to locate United’s classic.
This blue and white trend with the red Adidas logo and the sponsor Sharp is one of the most iconic in the club’s history.
You’ll even see fans walking or laughing dressed in this jersey.
You get yelled at Man United, and we have the uniform designers of the early 1990s to thank for that.
You can watch Ryan Giggs score that goal in the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal at Villa Park, right?
That incredible solo goal was perhaps one of the most important moments in Man United achieving the famous treble in the 1998/99 season.
And for that reason alone, it would be unforgivable to come with this classic.
Gooners around the world are probably feeling palpitations at the thought of reliving this attack and the sight of that white Umbrian stripe with its black and white main points will be etched in their minds.
We have all noticed this original blouse at some point.
Whether it’s horrible or great, we’ll let you know; However, Sir Alex Ferguson was not a fan and even blamed the kit for the 3-0 half-time deficit against Southampton in April 1996.
The fact that United sacked him after just one season also tells you everything you want to know.
Either way, it has indeed cemented its position in the folklore of old ’90s kits, if only for all the reasons.
He made it to the list on time.
Of course, this is a crossover into a new decade, but it would have been rude not to feature this absolute classic.
The exclusive zipper, the old-fashioned Umbro design on the sleeves and the shorts and the white collar. . .
You can almost feel United’s dominance at that moment through the shirt.
