Fundamentally The Same Shirt Each Time? Adidas Manchester United 'Black' Kits
Last week, Adidas released the new Manchester United 2020-21 away kit. It features a very dark green main color that looks almost like black - this caused popular Twitter account to compare Man Utd's recent black shirts that look quite similar, at least from a distance...
Adidas Manchester United Alternative Kit History - 2015-2020
Since Adidas' first season as Man Utd kit maker (2015-16), Adidas released four different 'black' jerseys for the club. All of the different black Man Utd kits look quite similar - the differences is the secondary accent color and the design pattern printed on the kits.
Adidas did not release a 'black' Man Utd kit in two of six seasons yet
In the two seasons of six in which Adidas did not launch a 'black' Manchester United (2016-17 & 2018-19), Adidas released blue alternative jerseys for the club.
2015-16 Third
2017-18 Away
2019-20 Third
2020-21 Third
Kit Crimes thinks that the reason for Man Utd to opt for black kits is that "Black must sell well to Manchester United fans".
Black must sell well to Manchester United fans: 2017-18 (away), 2019-20 (third) and 2020-21 (away). Yes the details are different, but fundamentally it's the same shirt each time. #MUFC pic.twitter.com/5p2Ss23nce
