The Reds' new away kit for the 2009/10 campaign has been
officially unveiled and you can now see a host of images in our
special gallery on ManUtd.com.
Like the club's new red and white home strip, the
black kit, which can be pre-ordered online
now, features a special commemorative tag at
the side of the shirt and large chevron across the chest,
reflecting the design of the shirts worn by United when the team
won its first FA Cup in 1909.
The black shorts have a blue stripe along the side, a red devil
graphic on the back of the waist band, while the draw cords feature
'MUFC' on the tips. The black socks have a blue chevron on the
calf.
The Reds will don the kit for the first time during Thursday's Audi
Cup match in Germany against either AC Milan or Bayern Munich. And
Patrice Evra says the players are all looking forward to running
out in their new attire.
"It’s a privilege to play for this club and whenever you put the
kit on you know you need to give your best and show respect for the
shirt," he told ManUtd.com and MUTV.
"History is very important at United and it’s a great idea to base
the kits on that. I just hope we can be successful in them."
Team-mate Ji-sung Park agreed, adding: "I particularly like the
away kit - the black and blue colours are quite army-like.
Hopefully we can be like soldiers on the pitch and win every
game."
The new away kit will be on sale at outlets including Old
Trafford's Megastore, and online at store.manutd.com, from
Thursday 13 August.
