    Wow that is awful, seriously does any management function work at all at your place, even the marketing/design team seem to be inspired by 70s concrete flats!!

    Brutalist architecture makes it into football strips. It'll be a pop up flyover next

    The way the thin stripes are bulging around halfway down the shirt make it look like your fat geordie belly's are already catered for.

    Don't think this has been mentioned yet, apologies if i've missed it...


    "United announced the design for next season's change kit on Thursday, also confirming that the all-grey strip will be worn against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday week.

    Sales of the Puma kit begin next Thursday (May 8th) and while the club's press release references similar kits produced by Umbro from the 1980s, the new ensemble also resembles our Adidas third kits from 2003 & 2008."


    Why the fook do we need to wear grey vs Liverpool? like black and white stripes will clash with all red. Just a hopeful financial stunt from Cashley in the hope we'll want to have them. I for one won't be buying it. Crap kit, crap team, crap manager, crap owner.

    It would look nice with black shorts and and grey socks with the tops being black. But with your home colours I'd doubt that.

    Wow, so the grey kit has the potential to be our unluckiest kit of all time, given the rinsing we're likely to take at Anfield.

    Dull. Haven't bought a shirt for quite a while now. This wouldn't tempt me.

    No one wears grey, it is supposedly a really poor choice as teammates are poor to pick out in the background. All white or all red is the way to go allegedly. Completely solid coloured shirts are the more successful. I think this is a load of bollocks. You either a brilliant youth system or a **** load of cash to be successful. You could have a harlequin coloured shirt and still win if you had the right money/set up. There might be something in picking out teammates but I think this may also be an excuse for **** passing <laugh>

    I can see this one being the third kit, and used sparingly.

    Looks like Ashley designed that. The "Wonga" is over the heart and the badge is practically on the shoulder.

    Do you think Pardew will use it for one of his special excuses?
