Manchester United will play in a new Nike home kit inspired by the city’s industrious past this season. The 2012-13 shirt will feature the iconic gingham check that hailed from Manchester’s famous cotton mills and is available here.
Manchester United Football club’s success has been founded on the traditional values of respect and hard work. Those values are what made Manchester the city it is and from the mid 18th century the cotton mills there were prolific in the industry. From those mills came the gingham fabric, an iconic check that like Manchester United is famous around the world and is now – for the first time – used on a Manchester United home shirt.

The tonal gingham in traditional and iconic red gives the home shirt a bold new look. The black v-neck collar gives the shirt a contemporary look. The inner back neck graphic on the shirt reads, ‘Forged in Industry, Striving for Glory’; paying tribute to the cities industrial past but also the club’s hard-working ethos.
The outer neck graphic is the iconic devil symbol so synonymous around the world with Manchester United whilst a diagonal hatched graphic on the white shorts is a subtle link to the gingham used on the shirt.
The socks are black with a red detail on the top and a white devil icon. They offer a new and innovative design featuring an updated cotton footbed offering the support and comfort enjoyed by professionals to all that wear them.
Whilst the kit combines modern sport and youth style to give the club an iconic new look, Nike’s innovation gives the team our most technologically advanced kit to aid athlete comfort and performance.
The new home kit is made from Nike’s ground-breaking recycled polyester, making it Nike’s most environmentally friendly kit ever produced. Each kit (shirt and shorts) is made using up to thirteen recycled plastic water bottles. This innovative manufacturing process reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared to manufacturing traditional polyester. Since 2010 Nike has used an estimated 1115 million recycled plastic bottles to create its high performance kits.
The kits are made out of 23% lighter fabric with 20% stronger knit structure than Nike’s previous kits and feature Nike Dri-FIT technology to wick moisture away from athletes to help keep them cool and dry on-pitch.
Kits have bonded re-enforced t-bar junctions that support critical seams on the shirt and shorts and inner welded seams with a flat finish construction to improve comfort and performance. Temperature regulation is helped by ventilation zones, consisting of a series of tiny laser cut holes from the under arms to the waistband, allowing air to circulate to keep players comfortable.
Nike Pro Combat base-layers are used by athletes to compliment playing kits to further improve comfort and increase protection from injury. Whilst fans and players can enjoy the Nike’s Manchester United Sportswear collection off the pitch, inspired by the club’s heritage.

http://www.psvshop.nl/shop/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/PSV_Uitshirt_SR__4e0a2af5c3801.jpg
And where does a table cloth sit?
TOP OF THE TABLE!!!!
^^ thats a good comeback
you lost either..dumbass
Ha yeah!!!!!!!!!! High 5!
you can put a cup on a tablecloth!
Shut up!!!!!!!!!! Maybe man u fans like it. That's why we buy it.
why no prem league badges? may as well have put the white ones on, no??!
Let's Picnic
(Anyone wondering, I'm a United fan from Manchester. Annoying glory supporters get on my nerves...)
Umbro are doing well recently, or adidas
If it's a table cloth, it's the nicest one I've ever seen
if it's the nicest, it's still a table cloth
Not quite as "censored lol" as your queerhawk avatar
Brilliant
glad berba wont have to wear this travesty
Terrible.
The replica's are never as good.
-Willie
Not bad though.
Table cloths anyone?
Makes me feel better about the new Leeds shirt!
I'd rather support Leeds in League 2 than support the scum winning the Champions League.
You are are probably too young to even remember playing us twice a season and most likely have no idea why you hate us.
u mad bro?
Anyway, enjoy wearing your tea-towel next season, Tim.
whos your local team then? southend? typical man u fan, chats sh!t , not from manchester,doesnt know nothing about footy and says hes been supporting them for years.
Then why not FC United of Manchester as your locsl team?
probably because they have only been recently formed, and from tims user name he was born in 1902 so probably been supporting Man Utd for over 100 years!!!
then you suck
are you fans of united??then u go to hell!!!
dang, the word "b!tch" got censored?
but seriously nike showed they could even be more shit than let's say li-ning!!!
We had diphtheria, cholera and TB in Manchester back in the 1870s. I trust Nike will be commemorating that with a mucous coloured away kit next year...
table cloth*
If it had a white neck instead, I actually think it'd be pretty nice.
Nike should leave the football side of the business to Umbro.
Man Utd should look for a new manufacturer too.
Do you want another plain red shirt, like we have every year?
Hats off for them doing something different, knowing that the country is waiting for an opportunity to slate them.
Probably all the newly formed city fans on here.
Nice pyjama
why don't you just make classic kits?
Some people like the classic look, some like the flashy look. It's impossible to keep everyone happy.
I support Arsenal and nike haven't given us a proper kit in years, but I think they usually do pretty well by Man United.
Have Nike ever really made Classic Kits - it's not really what the stand for?
In fact, they haven't had a decent kit since 1999...
Think im going to belch.
censoreding distgusting, much like the club itself!
What a let down......
The keeper kit is also the same design in green.
I think the away kit will be white this season and the blue kit from last year will become the third kit (as usual) to maximize sales. I also doubt it will be the same design.
Ha-ha- freaking ha!
No, wait...HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HO!
They can win as many Premiership titles as they like, they were s**t in Europe this season LOL, but this is the worst kit they've ever had...wouldn't wipe my a**e on it.
lol wtf have u been smoking?
Anyway, obviously, it is now entirely appropriate!
United fans must be sick, especially after liverpools masterpiece yesterday.
Nike are in poor form this season. This shirt is even uglier than the arsenal effort.
In actuallity - if they took the time to research United's past they would see that the club started out as a bunch of Railway workers - train tracks would have been much more approriate!
Umm no i was actually referring to the tartan representing two of United's greatest ever "Scottish" managers, notably Sir Alex Feguson who evidently has given United so much success for the past decades and perhaps is United's greatest ever manager. Also as a tribute to Sir Matt Busby who is undoubtly a ledgend to the club who was Scottish as well. Its not about Manchester's cotton industry you spanner, stop trying to be a smartarse, its about the mark of respect United giving to Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby for their years of dedication and bringing such major success to the club.
Even if it was tartan, it'd still be a shocker of a kit.
Yeh, it's a bit more up to date - and has slightly more intelligent comments. The United kit gets decent reviews on there.
Nice find.

Not without good nor bad. . .
I liked the Umbro shirt.
I saw the leaked shots and thought there was no way they were real... however!
If this sells well it will just reaffirm the belief that Manure fans will buy any old shit if it has a United badge on it!
More importantly, what is that on Waynes head?
To man city fans laugh now because you will be nike after next season and youll wish you stayed umbro + now that imaginary 3 stars on your badge will mean something
To chelsea fans how is 6th place ? Get comfortable thats where you will be staying for a while
To liverpool fans putting gold on your shirts is smart since thats the only gold you will see on it
To arsenal fans putting a french flag on your sleeves why dont you piss off to france with wenger
He is very worst player in MAN U.
go back to south korea kimch smell
I'm so glad I listened to that bit of advice, and now I won't have to go anywhere near this shirt.
Cheers Dad!
it is because we will be always on top of the table
like adidas
Your dad should kill himself!
Well said!
But probably far to witty for the thick users of this site. Wah.
The crowds are going to murder Manchester United next season.
"Come on you GINGHAMS!"
"We're Alex Ferguson's GINGHAM ARMY!"
LOL,
Nobody's ever happy on here. You'll spend another week hating on, then warming towards it - and then buying it.
If a team does something unusual they get slated, and if they play it safe like Liverpool - they also get abuse.
Seriously, what do you want in a kit?
If you don't like it, buy the away kit. Isn't it great to have the choice?
What;s the worst case scenario? If you genuinely hate a kit, it only lasts a year - so it'll be gone before you know it.
Should Nike just keep make a traditional Arsenal kit every season? Or United keep making a similar red shirt?
Er no, because you wouldn't buy it and would be calling them boring.
How about getting back to how this website used to be where people gave some sensible comments and discussed the thing we all love - football kit design.
As a fan I'm looking forward to seeing all the new Nike, Adidas and Puma kits - it's the best time of the season.
It is, and I say this is a neutral, frigging revolting.
As always, it' a matter of class. And I am still mad at the thought Nike will be barging in for MCity in one year' s time... Irritating in the least.
loosers
lol
Since they probably lost the keys to their trophy cabinet !
What has it been ?! Seven years since the last REAL trophy ?!
Too bad King Kenny is gone , would have been so nice seeing him destroy any last fabric of dignity they have.
Oh and enjoy your cheap lacrose warrior kits , second grade kit manufacturer for a second grade team.
sorry but bad
i already got my shirt .... about a doz of them!!
..... in my kitchen drawer ....
Quoting SadSupporter:
still no trophy this season
So do I, also bought the white away cool one... I think it's gonna be one of the top most wanted vintage MU jersey...
