Manchester United's new away kit has caused quite a stir among fans and on social media. The kit, which was leaked in May and has now been officially revealed by Adidas and the club, features a blue design with white detailing on the Adidas stripes, club logo, and sponsors, along with a buttoned collar.
Many fans have expressed their opinions on the kit, with some likening it to a cricket kit rather than a football kit. Memes have been circulating online, with comments suggesting that the kit would be more fitting for a cricket ground like The Oval than for Old Trafford.
Despite the mixed reactions, some fans have praised the kit's design, calling it one of the better-looking kits released recently. However, the cricket kit comparisons have not gone unnoticed, with social media users drawing parallels between the Manchester United kit and cricket attire.
One user even directly compared the kit to an England cricket team's ODI shirt from the 2010s. Others have criticized Adidas for the design, joking that the Manchester United squad now looks ready to play in a T20 series rather than a football match.
Speculation about player transfers has also emerged, with fans noting the absence of Jadon Sancho in the promotional photos and expressing hopes that Aaron Wan Bissaka's presence indicates he will stay at the club.
Overall, the reaction to Manchester United's new away kit has been a mix of praise for the design and amusement at its resemblance to cricket attire. Whether fans will embrace the unique look or continue to draw comparisons to cricket remains to be seen.
