Man Utd shirt history pt 42. In 1992 Utd switched kit supplier to Umbro. They went extremely retro with laced up collars. They said the 3rd shirt was based on Newton Heath’s original colours which was factually incorrect. The Premier League also introduced a sleeve patch #MUFC #UTFR

Man Utd Shirt history Pt 40. In 1990 Adidas had their final throw of the dice and produced what I thought was a great set of shirts. Red home blue away and something out of the norm for the goalie. I loved the blue patterned shirt, but many disliked it as it reminded them of a City Shirt. #MUFC
