New Kits.....

These pictures are leaked pictures of the supposedly new kits for Manchester United next season. The sponsorship of AIG is ending soon too, so the AIG logo is not there and apparently, the designer was toying with different 'reported' potential sponsors.

The one below is apparently the design for the new home kit, a throwback of the retro design of the Manchester United older kits. As extracted from here, it says .... "As is usually the case, Manchester Utd have had a raft of supposed designs leaked, with various sponsors splashed over the front. They all seem to agree there’ll be a V-shaped design somewhere on the shirt, though. Our favourite is the minimalist retro home shirt with collar, a mash-up of FA Cup Final strips worn from 1909 through to the early ‘70s."



However, little could be said for the supposed new design of the away kit. As extracted from here, it says ... "In stark contrast to the simple home design is this thing, which appears to be a mash-up between United’s 1992/3 shirt and 16th century peasant chic".

The website also offered these ratings, "Our rating: A for the retro one, B for the modern twist, and D for the horrible ‘80s New Romantic throwback".

I am not too sure if I like any of these new designs. Too retro, too old, and too bland. They don't seem to represent the current, and perhaps future, of Manchester United; a future of greater greatness, dominance and power!

Apparently, Liverpool and Arsenal are also changing their away kits next season.


And this is the supposedly new design of Chelsea's home kit.
