It's not a amazing kit, but I guess if there's a black kit and a white one would be fine. The red is not Ok, imho.
Didn't like the V at all!

United dont have the Ronaldo money, as deal is not concluded yet.
Nani has not been offered to Wigan as part of the Valencia deal, so dont believe everything you read in papers.

New kit looks good, grows on me the more I see it.

There's a bit of the "beam me up Scotty" about this kit. Kirk out!

I think I kinda like this kit. I mean it has some retro feel in it, downright simple and has this-is-how-we-did-it-back-then kind of design, totally old times stuff. IMHO a white chevron on red would be better than black on red for the home kit, and the third kit looks great. If only there's something can be done with the away kit, something like black with white chevron would be nice.

Anyway the 'v' remind me to Michel Vaillant, totally pre-60's stuff, which reinforce the retro taste. Other than the colors I think it was a good design, not to mention the history behind it.

Look people its just a KIT, If you don't like it, don't buy it simples. There are about 330m besides you and surely more than half of them will be queuing up for it.

Its the same thing every season, reveal new kit, then fans b*tch about it.

Well said OTRed, I actually quite like it. For people to say "It could be the reason we don't win the league next season" is fuckin daft. If the players don't perform because of a kit then they are not worth worrying about.

"the ugly design might just be the reason we dont win the title next season"

Who cares what it looks like. as long as it has the utd badge on it, wear it with pride and stop complaining about the damn design.

Great kit. Better than the last years.
But for me the one of the 06-07 season was the best for some years. It's a shame it was only for one year.

why can't we just replicate the 50's kit of plain red with a white v neck & no fucking sponsor?! If Barca can, so can we!

Don't mind the new shorts, but that V thing is shite. V for victory? Bollocks, it's the same design as a load of Nike kits.

By no means the worst, when you think back to some of the monstrosities umbro used to make.

Oh and while we're at it, never mind a petition for the new kit, how about a petition to get the "FOOTBALL CLUB" reinstated on the badge???????

Can anyone tell me how the fuck a V on the new kit represents 100 years at OT??? what a fuckin farce, its the only option nike would give them for the design, nothing to do with OT... money grabbing yanks, last seasons kits should of being continued till next may, wont be buying

chris - the V is from the 1909 kit when we moved to OT. but as someone said, it looks like st. helens. and that's fucking merseydive!

scott - i know chief, maybe we should get the government to bail us out too. i'd be glad my taxes were being spent on something worthwhile!

the boy - 6 months ago they said they were making a tribute to 1909 fa cup winning jersey, nothing to do with OT was mentioned... maybe a image of OT ingraved on the kit bit like 95 i think, that would be a tribute not a fuckin V, Mexico have a V aswell, is that a tribute to OT! ha... bring back Umbro and Sharp!

Fucking disgusting kit. The designers of the kit should be ashamed of themselves.

It looks like someone threw a shirt into the road and someone ran over it.

I reckon the new kit's sweet, my only problem is that the band is a little bit narrow so the badge & Nike Symbol push too close to the edge. We've had plenty of plain red over the past 4 seasons including the Munich one. This has a touch of 80's to go-along with the 100 year bit.

"Guys calm down, this kit is commemorative, so its ment to look as similar as possible to the one used in the 1909/1910 season"

if the kit was commemorative , it would have been a simple inverted version of the 1909/1910 . i was really looking forward to this kit with the white/deep V. tbh i think it looks tacky and thrown together . im just gona hold out for another season , a boycott sounds about right

i fancy the new home kit, cant stand the "lazer blue" top tho! but i agree with a black away top with a red V, i think thatd look well mean! i even fancied the top they showed not too long agoo with the lace up front, im not sure if thet even cosidered it. it looked really olden day like but its all about the history for me.
