Manchester United have officially released the club’s third kit which they will use for the 2020-2021 football season. The club alongside their official sportswear makers, Adidas, announced this today, September 8.
Unlike the past seasons, the makers of the jersey, Adidas decided to give football fans something to talk about by releasing a design that has been compared to the skin of a zebra.
The new kit is a “visually distinctive design inspired by striped jerseys from the club’s history”. Adidas said the Manchester United third kit was produced using a “nuanced design through an innovative ‘space dye’ technique that allows separate yarns to be dyed individually, and at different lengths, to give a finish with depth, and with full details only viewable by the wearer”.
The sportswear manufacturing company said the company “re-drew, hacked and re-imagined combined elements from various jerseys throughout the club’s long history to create a bold new pattern. Utilising United’s iconic club colours of red, white and black the kit is an original story with a modern update.”
“The result is surprising, unexpected and demonstrates a continued ambition to push the boundaries of shirt design.”
A football legend of Manchester United, David Beckham was among the first personalities in the world to wear Manchester United’s third kit for the 2020-2021 season.
Also, Nigerian music sensation, Burna Boy was among the first set of global personalities that received and wore Manchester United’s customized third kit.
