The distinctive new home kit - on sale on 16 July - got us thinking about our favourite ever United kits. Here they are (click the pic for a gallery)...
1984-86 white away
Paul Davies, editor United Review
Think of Robson’s 35-yarder against Liverpool in the ‘85 FA Cup semi-final replay – and, for that matter, Hughesie’s winner - made all the better as it was in my favourite kit of all time - white shirt, red trim, badge in the centre, black shoulder slashes. We might not have been the best team in that period, but we looked the part.
1992-94 green and yellow third
Nick Judd, deputy editor Inside United
The yellow and green halves of 1992/94 proved United take pride in history by harking back to the Newton Heath days. The timing coincided with the start of the most successful era in the club’s history, too – the 1993 title, the first of Sir Alex’s long tenure. Wasn’t so keen on the lace-up element, it used to hit you in the face!
1977-79 white away
Steve Morgan, features editor
The red-and-white away kit with the go-faster stripes - not the most glorious years for silverware, but boy, some indelible memories. Kids, this was the kit in which Jimmy Greenhoff stooped to conquer in the 1979 FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool (not a bad side back then).
1990-92 blue and white away
James Tuck, editor international websites
It wasn't to all Reds' taste because it was a bit, well, City-ish, but I loved this shirt and even bought a matching flowerpot hat (how cool I was in the '90s). Evokes memories of Lee Sharpe terrorising Arsenal in a 6-2 League Cup triumph at Highbury, and Choccy's League Cup final winner.
2009/10 home goalkeeper
Ben Hibbs, deputy editor ManUtd.com
Nike aren't paying me to say this, honest. Keeper shirts rarely get fans excited, especially not those 90s ones with the bulky and unfashionable elbow and shoulder pads. This one's a potential classic. OK, so Edwin, Ben and Tom won't remain all white for long, and OT's laundry ladies will have their work cut out removing grass stains, but I think this could be a favourite outside the goalkeeping fraternity.
1993/94 black third
Steve Bartram, contributing editor
My favourite is 1993/94's Sharp View-Cam black number. United always look meaner and more imposing in black away kits, and it conjures so many memories for me. The 3-3 at Anfield, Sharpey's shuffle at Villa, and, of course, Eric's infamous kung-fu kick at Selhurst Park.
1986-1988 home
James Adams, website designer
Although United's home kits through the 80's were all fairly similar, this is the one that brings together all the best bits. Funky socks, retro stripes and a tidy collar. Sharp.
