Taken As Kit Inspiration From Adidas & Nike | Manchester United 1909 Kit
Apr 16, 2019, by Chris
Adidas will celebrate the 110-years anniversary of Manchester United's 1909 FA Cup triumph next season with the club's new third kit. However, it is not the first time that a Manchester United jersey pays homage to the kit of 1909. In 2009, Nike also paid homage to the 1909 'Rose' kit for Manchester United's collection.
Nike celebrated 100 years of Old Trafford in 2009, while Adidas refers to the 1909 FA Cup final when the jersey was also worn. United first opened their famous Old Trafford during the 1909/10 season.
Nike Manchester United 2009-10 Home Jersey
The Nike Man Utd 2009-10 home kit featured a large chevron across the chest, reflecting the design of the 1909 'Rose' kit. Inside the black round-neck collar is woven label in red, white and black, while engineered into the side seam is a small label that reads ‘The Theatre of Dreams Since 1910.’
Adidas Manchester United 2019-2020 3rd Jersey
In contrast to Nike, Adidas went for a more modern interpretation. The Adidas Manchester United 19-20 third kit is black with a stylish rose pattern, inspired by the kit worn in the 1909 FA Cup final.
Nike Manchester United 2009 Heritage Jersey
Nike also released a special Heritage collection for the 100th anniversary of the club's stadium.
The collection included a special jersey that was a direct remake of the Manchester United 1909 FA Cup Final jersey as well as other pieces such as a jacket.

Austrian club SC Austria Lustenau has unveiled a special-edition jersey, dubbed the "Vintage" kit, created in collaboration with Italian brand Erreà. The limited-edition shirt was launched for the friendly match against German giants FC Schalke 04 at the Sun Minimeal Arena.
The Erreà Austria Lustenau 26-27 "Vintage" jersey comes in an off-white cream base adorned with a subtle all-over floral damask pattern. It is complemented by a dark green polo collar with dual gold pinstripes, an aesthetic echoed on the matching ribbed sleeve cuffs. To complete the clean retro look, the club crest, Erreà chest logo, and Sun Minimeal front sponsor are all rendered in monochrome dark green.
On the back, the retro styling continues with an elegant serif typeface in green for the player names and squad numbers. The release represents another custom design from Erreà in their first season outfitting the Austrian side, after taking over the club's technical contract ahead of the 26-27 campaign.
Betting Ban: Brazilian Club Vila Nova Announce BYD Main Shirt Sponsor Deal
Brazilian club Vila Nova FC has officially announced Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD as its new primary front-of-shirt sponsor. Described by the club as the largest commercial partnership in its history, the agreement places the BYD logo prominently on the chest of the team's Volt Sport kits through the end of 2026, with an option to extend into 2027.
The sponsorship is executed in collaboration with Saga, an authorized dealership network representing BYD in Brazil, whose small logo appears directly underneath the main BYD mark. The automotive manufacturer replaces previous shirt sponsor Bet da Sorte, following a wave of regulatory restrictions on betting companies operating in Brazilian football.
Currently fighting at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B table and chasing promotion to the top flight, Vila Nova is set to debut the redesigned shirts immediately. The landmark agreement secures vital financial stability for the club's promotion push while expanding BYD's growing footprint across South American football.
