Made by Adidas and featuring Chevrolet’s logo on the chest, the United away shirt will be officially released on Wednesday ahead of both home and third versions.
On the Red Devils’ official website, adidas say that “the new kit pays homage to the historic design, celebrating the rich history of the club.
“The graphic design of the original kit has been reimagined on a black backdrop with white hues, with the classic adidas three stripes, club badge and adidas logo all in white.”
United have scheduled six friendlies to be played in the United States and Norway starting with La Galaxy on July 15. Mourinho’s side will also face Real Salt Lake, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valerenga.
Images released today showed Manchester United players posing in the strip for the first time for an official photo shoot.
In a statement on United’s website, adidas said: “Manchester United fans of all ages will recognise the bold graphic pattern from the 1990-92 away jersey that defined football shirt design for an era. Connecting the past to the future, the new kit pays homage to the historic design, celebrating the rich history of the club.
“The graphic design of the original kit has been reimagined on a black backdrop with white hues, with the classic adidas three stripes, club badge and adidas logo all in white. A crew-neck collar gives the kit a modern makeover, making it a jersey that’s as much at home on the streets as it is on the pitch.
“The kit features all the technological innovations of adidas’ jersey technology used by the world’s leading clubs, including breathable fabrics and mesh engineering.
“Alongside the replica jersey, there is also an authentic shirt available [as worn by the players], a long-sleeved version and shirts specifically for children and women.”
