Manchester United Forced to Change to Black Third Kit for Champions League Home Leg Due to Atletico Goalkeeper Kit Clash
- Kit Clash: Manchester United Women had to switch to their black third kit for their Champions League home leg against Atletico Madrid due to a kit clash.
- Atletico's Mistake: Atletico Madrid brought only an orange goalkeeper kit, instead of the approved yellow one, causing a conflict with United's red outfield jerseys.
- Home Team Responsibility: UEFA Champions League rules put the onus on the home team, Manchester United, to resolve kit clashes, leading to their kit change.
Manchester United Women wore their black third kit instead of the traditional red for Thursday night's UEFA Champions League play-off second leg against Atletico Madrid at the Progress with Unity Stadium in Leigh, following a late kit change requested by match officials.
Atletico Madrid Brought the Wrong Keeper Kit
United were preparing to wear red shirts, black shorts, and black socks in front of their home supporters before the issue arose during the morning's matchday meeting. Atletico Madrid traveled to Manchester with only an orange goalkeeper kit instead of the originally approved yellow, which officials deemed clashed with United's red outfield jerseys.
Despite the error originating with the away team, UEFA Champions League competition regulations stipulate that the home team bears responsibility for providing a solution to kit conflicts. Marc Skinner's side therefore, took the field in their black alternative strip.

Adidas Germany 'Alternate History' 1992 Collection Leaked
Update - Friday, May 22, 2026: Thanks to our follower @Julifu90, we have an image of the t-shirt of the Adidas Germany EQT 1992 retro collection. It is set to be released in the coming days.
We have the first image of a unique new Adidas Germany retro jacket, showcasing an intriguing new approach from the sportswear brand.
While the design instantly evokes strong nostalgia for the 1990s, this upcoming release is actually an "alternate history" creation. Despite its highly authentic vintage appearance and period-accurate details, this specific track jacket never actually existed in the official Adidas catalogues during the 1990s, making it a brand new addition to their retro-focused lifestyle collection.
To achieve this convincing old-school aesthetic, Adidas has utilized their classic 1992 template as the structural foundation for the design. The garment features a vibrant green base that heavily nods to Germany's traditional away kits of the era. The colors of the German national flag are cleverly completed on the sleeves through large geometric blocks that also recreate the 3 stripes.
The same jacket will also be released for Spain and other Adidas national teams.
