    For the 2023/24 season, Manchester United has unveiled their new Adidas away kit, which features a return to vertical stripes.

    At the turn of the 20th century, the Red Devils’ alternate uniforms featured stripes in a variety of colours, while in the 1990s, away kits frequently featured the colour combinations green-and-gold and blue-and-white.

    Adidas decided to create a striped uniform for the upcoming season in hues that honour Manchester’s style. The red lines on white stripes are claimed to echo the brickwork of the city, and the green base is said to depict the city’s architecture.

    The away shirt’s long sleeves create the appearance of having more white lines than just the three stripes that are the company’s signature.

    Inigo Turner, Adidas design director said: “We’re incredibly excited to return to a design that is fundamental to the heritage of this great club.

    “Vertical stripes are in the DNA of Manchester United and we hope this bold new look captures the imaginations of fans as they travel the globe supporting the team. We have intentionally taken cues from the city itself, to provide both the players and travelling fans with a piece of home, wherever they are wearing it.”

    On July 25, as part of their tour of the US, United will play Wrexham in their new away uniform, which is presently on sale at United’s club shops, in certain Adidas retail locations, as well as online.

    The Red Devils’ preseason has gone without a hitch thus far, with Erik Ten Hag’s team winning all three of their games. Leeds United, who had just been demoted, were defeated 2-0 in United’s opening game before Lyon out to a Donny van de Beek goal at Old Trafford.

    Last season’s title challengers Arsenal were then defeated on Saturday night by goals from Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho – United also won the penalty shootout that followed at MetLife Stadium.
