Leaked Manchester United 23-24 Away Kit Inspired by 1902 Kit?
Many people may be asking themselves why Manchester United are set to receive an away kit with dark green and white stripes for next season. It seems the reason lies over a century in the past.
United 23-24 Away Kit Could Be Inspired By 1902-05 Shirt
Looking back at some of United's first kits, you will find away kits with green and white stripes dating back to 1902, the year in which Newton Heath became Manchester United.
Through the decades this design would no longer appear, as blue became a much more common away color, along with mainly white shirts with red/black detailing. Blue and white striped away kits also became frequent.
It should be mentioned that the leak of the Manchester United 23-24 away kit indicates the shirt will not stay true to the original colors, instead going for a much darker (almost black) shade of green than in the early 1900's. It also adds dark red accent colors into the mix.
The 120-year-old green/white striped shirts were worn with black shorts and socks, occasionally also white shorts.
In our opinion Adidas should have gone for a lighter shade of green, especially if it was their intention to pay homage to one of United's earliest away shirts.

MLS Players Wear Their National Flags on Kits Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Major League Soccer last weekend hosted a dedicated "Farewell Week" to send off its international stars. To mark the occasion, all clubs across the domestic league took to the pitch wearing specially customized kits that honored the various nations represented within their squads.
The most prominent visual update to the MLS uniforms was the addition of official national flags printed directly on the chest for all players and coaching staff. In a highly thoughtful and personalized touch, the league provided specialized double-flag variations for athletes holding dual citizenship. This bespoke detail allowed these specific players to proudly represent both their current homelands and their heritage simultaneously before joining their respective national team camps.
Beyond the chest graphics, teams also sported a unique set of squad numbers on the back of their shirts, featuring a custom pattern made up of the flags of all 48 countries participating in this summer's World Cup.
