New Sheffield United 08/09 Le Coq Sportif kits
These are the new Sheffield United home and away kits made by Le Coq Sportif for the 2008/09 season. The players displayed the brand new kits at the game against Bristol City and the kits are now available pre-order in the online store.
James Beattie, Billy Sharp and co showed the home strip, whilst the under 18s squad entered the pitch at half-time wearing the smart all black away kit.
Sheffield United may be known for their red and white striped kits, but The Blades began playing in white shirts and blue shorts. They briefly flirted with narrow red stripes for the 1890-91 season, before returning to all white the following year.
The stripes returned in the 1892-93 season, with black shorts replacing the blue in 1904 The shirts remained largely unchanged until collars were first removed in 1955, replaced by V-necks until the 1966-67 season (when white socks were also used), and from here on the neck style varied hugely.
The 08/09 home strip was designed by season ticket holder Ben Frost, whilst the away shirt was chosen by the first-team playing squad. The away shirt will be available to buy in the Blades superstore from mid-June, while the home strip hits the shops in mid-July.

the red looks a much weaker shade, almost like its been painted on and i\'m surprised that LCS have allowed their logo to be camoflauged into the shirt so much.
The away kit is very nice, the players have good taste!
No Capital One next season?
Ben Frost, well done. Sheffield United have had some real dogs for a home kit the last few seasons, and this is a major improvement. I don\'t think there\'s any need for the personal insults that have posted by those above.
Ok to allow fans in designing shirts..but LCS should refuse to put his logo on an Adidas fake shirt!
the away kit is average, the home shirt is shit.
end of.
just like moe said
shall we see how much money they make from the away shirt?
plenty of rumours on the blades messageborads about the sponsor thought the deal had ran out with Capitol one but it was on the shirts when the players walked around the pitch .
Very unfair saying we have some of the worst kits i agree with some of them but not others this years is actually decent and i love the LIme green away kit
Le Coq Sportif made referees\' kits. That away one on the top pic is the stuff of Rob Styles\'s wet dreams.
In fairness it looks more like a referee kit because the grey looks white on that one.
The current season\'s shirt is far better in my opinion. As for the away it\'s alright but nothing special. I wouldn\'t say it was the worst Sheffield United kit ever though, that destinction goes to Hobott\'s 1979 effort which made the Blades look like a poor imitation of Ajax.
In fact both kits now are better than the new ones.
i think the home shirt is a bit sketchy. is that Ben frost kid a todler? did he colour it in himself?
you can\'t get a proper shirt with sponsor cos we haven\'t got one yet
are we still havin capital one??
there are rumours that home shirts won\'t be ready til after the start of the season is this correct??
who has one then??
