Man Utd’s kits for next season have supposedly ‘leaked’ online and they bear a resemblance to yesteryear.
The current Premier League season is still three months away from ending, but it seems that the outfit for Erik ten Hag’s team next season may have already been revealed. The club’s current shirt sponsorship deal with TeamViewer is nearing its end, and California-based company Qualcomm Technologies will have their ‘Snapdragon’ brand emblazoned on the front of the shirts for the upcoming season.
This brand will be featured on the home, away, and third kits for the next campaign, covering both the men’s and women’s teams, as well as their training gear.
A sneak peek of the new home and away kit has surfaced online for the first time. A video posted by @mufchants on TikTok shows the full design of the strips.
The home shirt features a black stripe rising from the bottom two corners, with two more black tags at the armpit point. Alongside Adidas’ iconic three stripes on the shoulders, the kit also sports a black and white sleeve ending - reminiscent of the 2017-18 home shirt.
Fans have also noted that the Snapdragon logo bears a resemblance to the Vodafone sponsor on United’s shirts from 2000-2006, back when they were under the stewardship of Sir Alex Ferguson. Unsurprisingly, supporters are saying that the leaked shirt looks similar to the 2002-03 and 2003-04 home shirts, the strips worn by United in David Beckham’s final season for the club and Cristiano Ronaldo’s first.
Reacting to the sneak peek video, one supporter said, “Vodafone vibes”, whilst another cheered, “could see Van Nistelrooy wearing that”. Another admirer gushed: “Absolutely love it. Vodafone vibes.”
Meanwhile the away number is a navy blue colour with red detailing on the sleeves and Snapdragon logo.
