This season Manchester United will play in a striking blue and black away kit, inspired by the blue kits worn in several of the club’s most famous victories, including the 1948 FA Cup final and the 1968 European Cup final.
The new away shirt, which is available here, consists of a royal blue body and sleeves with hoops made of small midnight navy blue and black stripes. There are exactly 11 stripes in each hoop to represent each member of the United team.
The pattern of the shirt is modelled on a previous United away shirt, which consisted of red and white hoops and was worn between 1932 and 1939. It was also briefly adopted as the Reds’ home shirt for the last two months of the 1933/34 season.
The shorts are entirely black except for the same hoop from the shirt, consisting of 11 midnight navy blue and black stripes at the bottom of the back of each leg. The socks are black with a white devil from the club crest on the calf and a royal blue band at the top.
The new away kit is made from Nike’s ground-breaking recycled polyester – which for the first time includes both the shirt and shorts. Each complete kit is made up of up to 13 reclaimed plastic water bottles, reducing energy consumption by up to 30 per cent.

Um....its an away shirt.
united have had blue away kits since 1902 and red has featured in chelsea kits before especially throughout the 90s, what are you expecting red home and red away cos united colours are red???
Learn about tradition you tool before you start banging on about who should wear what. United have been wearing blue for decades, just like city have worn red on their away shirts. I am a red and I have plenty of city fans as mates and we don't go about slagging each other for wearing each others colours. I guess you are american but that is no excuse as there are plenty of your countrymen on here who have VALID input, unlike you.
Chelsea weren't hammered cuz they had red on their tops....
They were hammered CUZ THEY'RE SHITE!!!!
Red Devils Forever!!!
Typical of them to upstage City so quickly though.
You're not fit to
You're not fit to wear the hoops!
1. Your hoops are white and blue, not black and blue
2. You really think only QPR are fit wear hoops? I'm betting teams like Celtic will beg to differ...
Just copy what I said then...
Good luck mate, think we have had less penalties than nayone else at OT down the years, if we wore blue with Samsung across our chests then we get more....think how chelsea always manage to screw us out of points through cheating!
Lea+mash=censored
Utter nonsense.
Your point being? Did you notice the new Derby away kit came out right after the United one...ooooh.
..OHH..
I think I like the shirt, but when someone wears it it doesn't look great at all... I thinki it looks much better when the shirt isn't in the shorts

No that yellow kit was jinxed - United got relegated in '74 when that kit was the away kit.
3rd kit coming out..all black with red and white trim.....Nike should be more original with an early 70s Utd away strip..yellow top blue shorts, at least it would make a change!!
This is almost as bad as Chelsea's kits this year !
I dont see why manu changed their home kit as last years was much better than this seasons effort !
All in all the only Nike shirts I have liked this year has been Barca home, Arsenal home, ..... emmm think thats it !
Man U's away shirt should either be plain white, plain blue or plain black.
I like this and the Arsenal aways. Not sure about Juve, mind.
its really different and we like different!
Good to see Rooney wearing blue again.
Horrible Manc pricks!
Its too good for your arse anyway
It's getting BOUGHT!!! Man United to win the EPL yet again this season!
EASY!!!
