ADIDAS MANCHESTER UNITED AWAY KITS 2017/18

The Three-Stripes are really knee deep in that warm nostalgia at the moment. A week ago the Predator Mania’s and now we have more retro fire courtesy of the Manchester United 2017/18 away kit. Inspired by the legendary away kits worn by the Red Devils in 92. Yes, that also happened to be the year the Neville brothers, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and David Beckham embarked on their illustrious trophy filled rise as Manchester United’s golden generation.

As for the kits, an all-over maple leaf looking print hearkens back those iconic 90s shirts but with a sleeker, more modern twist. The form-fitting strips are dominated in varying shades of grey while black accents feature by way of the crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs. White adidas Three-Stripes branding flank each side while the Man United crest is given a the black and white treatment for a final stroke of class.

NIKE HONOR ROONEY WITH A BANNER OUTSIDE OLD TRAFORD

Last weekend Wayne Rooney scored a stunning,  game tying free kick vs Stoke City to surpass Sir Bobby Charlton as Manchester United’s all-time leading goal scorer. It was his 250th for the Red Devils. Alas, soccer is a a fickle game. Arguably no one more than Wazza has been picked apart by a cannibalistic English media and sure, his play has declined over the past 2-3 years, but what remains undeniable is that he is one of the best to ever put on a United and England shirt.

In case you’ve forgotten here is a list of his accolades:

All-time leading goal scorer for England – 53 goals, All-time leading goal scorer for Manchester United – 250 goals, 5 x EPL Titles, 1 x Champions League Title, 1 x FA Cup Title, 3 x English Cup Titles, 1x Club World Cup Title, 5 x Community Shield Titles.

All of these jaw-dropping accolades were achieved with a pair of Total 90’s or Hypervenoms on his feet. As one of Nike’s longtime poster boys, they honored his career and historic feat with a massive banner, draped over the Hotel Football which stands across from Old Traford. It simply says Rooney, with 250 O’s, one for each of his goals.

Have a look at the banner below and have a look at the limited edition Hypervenom’s that paid further homage to Wayne’s record-breaking goal HERE
