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

Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.
