adidas Launch Manchester United 24/25 Home Shirt

Between 1952 and 1957, Manchester United – under the watchful eye of Sir Matt Busby – experimented with with ‘flourescent’ materials to help the players see each other better – the rayon style fabric appeared to be a different shade of red, depending on how light reflected off it under the stadium’s floodlights. And it is this thinking that has inspired the design behind the club’s 24/25 home shirt from adidas, which features different shades of red, combined to form a light to dark red gradient, running down the main body of the shirt.

A final bright, flame-like red insert – in a colour expression never seen before on a Manchester United home kit – runs down the side panel of the jersey and shorts, creating a connecting line that stands out against the stadium backdrop as players are in motion. 

The look is completed with a crew neck, while the adidas three-stripes running down the shoulders, the adidas logo and sponsor logos all feature in a contrasting white colour.
