Manchester United's new 09/10 kit revealed!

It's finally officially unveiled. Like me, you may have seen the leaked pictures or earlier official reveals on the Manchester United online store, but now there's no denying the truth. I'll admit I'm not a big fan of the huge V stripe, but some fans have remarked that they like the retro-look. Who knows? It may grow on me if the kit turns out to really "give United players an even bigger and more intimidating appearance" (see below) and lead them to more 'V's (as in Victories, duh) next season.

In the meantime, I'd love to hear what you think about the new look...even if you're a Liverpool fan. Leave a comment below!

Below is the press release from Nike:

English Premier League Champions, Manchester United Football Club, has unveiled their new Team Kit for the up-coming 2009 – 2010 Football season. The new Manchester United home kit recognises both their glorious history at Old Trafford in the ground’s centenary year and enhances their ability to continue to strike fear in to visiting teams.

The shirt features a large black chevron across the chest, which echoes the same pattern United wore on their shirts during the 1909-10 season when Old Trafford first opened. The distinctive angle of the chevron also directly replicates the one found at the bottom of the club crest containing United’s red devil. The chevron is in black, and not the more traditional white, to augment the upper chest area of the shirt and give United players an even bigger and more intimidating appearance.

The entire back of the shirt has an engineered mesh, which is a series of small chevrons, a performance feature to offer players even greater ventilation during games. Inside the black round-neck collar is a high quality woven label with the three United colours, red, white and black, while engineered in to the side seam is a small label that reads ‘The Theatre of Dreams Since 1910.’

The shirt is made from Nike Dri-Fit fabric, which keeps players drier, cooler and lighter by drawing sweat from the body to the fabric’s surface, while it’s three-dimensional construction gives more air space around the skin to reduce clinging.

The home shorts are white with a red stripe along the side, a graphic of a red devil is on the back of the waist band and the draw cords feature MUFC on the tips. The socks are black with a red chevron on the calf.

The new United away kit retains the same distinctive features as the home kit, and consists of a black shirt with a royal blue chevron on the chest, black shorts with a royal blue stripe on the sides and black socks with a royal blue chevron on the calf.
