I mean, remember that 2021/22 one? “Drawing inspiration from the collective memory and DNA of the club.” Right. It was, like, light blue, or something? And apparently bringing “structure to a light…”. Structure to a light what? They didn’t even finish the thought! What even *is* structural light? I swear, the marketing copy is always more confusing than trying to understand VAR rulings. Maybe I’m being a bit harsh, but it felt kinda… bland? Not bad, per se, just…forgettable. You know? Like that one mate you met on holiday and can barely remember their name now.
Then you’ve got the new one, the 24/25 away kit. They’re pushing it HARD on the official Man U store. Bold design, nodding to football culture… Blah, blah, blah. From what I’ve seen it looks kinda like… like a… well, I’m not sure what it looks like. I need to see it on the pitch to properly judge it, I reckon. But if the “bold design” they’re talking about is just a fancy pattern, I’m not massively convinced yet.
And the whole “nodding to football culture” thing? Honestly, every single football jersey on the planet nods to football culture. It’s kinda the point, innit? It’s like saying water is wet, you know?
Look, at the end of the day, they’re just jerseys. We buy them (or get them as gifts, if you’re lucky) to show our support. They’re a uniform. As long as it’s not offensively ugly, I’ll probably end up liking it eventually, once I’ve seen Rashford banging in goals wearing it.
