United have unveiled their new home kit ahead of the new
season.
A giant image of the team in the new Nike-produced kit adorns the
East Stand window at Old Trafford. The players will wear it for the
first time during their first match of their Asia Tour against
Urawa Red Diamonds in Japan later this month.
The front of the new home shirt features an engineered mesh pattern
inspired by the architecture of Old Trafford and the contours of
the body. On the back a flash of white tape frames the name and
number with a fine black stripe, MUFC and the Red Devil emblem
inside. As a final touch there is a label with the Red Devil emblem
and the nickname 'The Red Devils.' White shorts and black socks
complete the kit.
It has been made using Nike Dri-FIT fabric which helps transport
moisture away from the skin to the fabrics surface for rapid
evaporation, keeping the players comfortable for longer. It's
already a popular design with the squad and they believe the fans
will be equally impressed.
"Its very important to feel comfortable when youre playing and
hopefully this kit will be a good one for us in all types of
weather conditions," Wayne Rooney told ManUtd.com.
"Its quite simple and traditional which is the way I like the kits
to be," added skipper Gary Neville. "Im sure the fans will like
it."
