Football fans have been left divided as Adidas recently released Manchester United’s new away kit, which features a unique and unconventional design. The sportswear giant’s recent release for Arsenal has also faced criticism, leading some fans to believe that Adidas may be “sending a cry for help” with their latest creations.
The new Manchester United away kit combines dark green and maroon, creating a peculiar pattern interspersed with various white stripes and red inlays. The club enlisted the help of celebrities like Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Marcus Rashford, and Jadon Sancho to showcase the uniform’s launch.
On social media, fan reactions were mixed, with some expressing disappointment and others finding the design captivating. Many fans were still reeling from Adidas’ previous collaboration with rivals Arsenal, which resulted in a lime and tiger-striped monstrosity.
One cheeky fan even speculated that Adidas might be trying to send a message with not one but two unconventional patterns in their recent releases. This, combined with the unusual Arsenal kit, left some questioning the design choices.
Despite the divided opinions, some supporters were enthralled by the new away kit. Expressing admiration, one fan called it an “unreal shirt” and loved the design. Another fan claimed it was the best kit of the season, surpassing some of the home kits released by other clubs.
Amidst the mixed reactions, some fans are already planning to purchase the new kit, eager to show their support for Manchester United on match days. On the other hand, there were calls for a new design, as certain fans were not impressed with the current offering.
As Manchester United prepares for the upcoming season under manager Erik ten Hag, the away kit’s distinct look is sure to make the players stand out on the field. While the jersey’s design may have divided opinions among fans, it has undeniably sparked conversations and added an element of intrigue to the new season’s kit launches.
