Manchester United 09/10 kit - a Historic 1909 remake
In honour of a player who helped them win their first major trophy, Manchester United will play in remake of the historic kit from 1909 next 09/10 season.
Players from United will wear home shirts, which feature a large white V-shape sash down the front.
The kit is based upon a 100-year-old design supplied by one of the club's own players, Billy Meredith, before the 1909 FA Cup Final. (As a sideline Meredith ran a sports shop and became the club's kit supplier. For the Wembley final with Bristol City, both sides had to change from their usual red shirts.)
Billy Meredith's trademark was a toothpick he chewed while playing; he believed it assisted his concentration. He originally used chewing tobacco, however the cleaners refused to wash the spit off his shirts!
United's kit manufacturer Nike have been asked to rework Meredith's shirt - using high-tech materials rather than heavyweight cotton and with a white sash on a red shirt instead of 1909's red-on-white.
A Man Utd insider said: "The club felt bringing back this old kit was the perfect way for United to mark 100 years of success."

But the below was uploaded months ago

I wonder what\'s going on here...
In reality, I made the kit right after Harun made it (if you don\'t believe me, go to this forum:http://soccerquest.nl/forum/showthread.php?t=12912&page=44 to message #1318 and check the date) , I liked it back then and decided to make an entire kit to see what it would look like.
I uploaded it today because I remembered the kit I made by reading the text above:whistle:
There is a serious point for all football supporters.....How many more times are NIKE ( they aren\'t the only ones who do but are the worst offenders) going to take the piss out of supporters . When will this stop? A shirt to commemorate Fergies first game in charge complete with chewing gum pocket.....Commemorative shirt for Giggsy complete with built in permed hair & chest wig They are merely trying to squeeze ever last penny out of supporters and will only continue to do so if people are stupid enough to keep buying them. Regardless of design its time to make a stand and say enough !
I love it
They did the same for this seasons blue shirt 40th anniversary since 1968 European Cup Win again they were a year too late, 2007-08 is 40 years, Maybe that\'s why the players don\'t have the commerative writing on their match day shirts!
Anyone know anything about this?
Looks a bit s**t really. Can\'t think where it would go on the United shirt either, what with the Nike logo being on that side too.
It\'s all just to fit in with Nike\'s V for Victory current campaign. Just happens to tie in with a tenuous \'historic milestone\'.
[censored].

Are you Airdrie in disguise? Lol
