Manchester United 26-27 Third Kit Features Nameset Discrepancy
Manchester United and Adidas have released their new 26-27 third kit, featuring an ivory base with deep red accents and dark green trim inspired by the iconic doors of the Salford Lads and Girls Club.
Following the release, kit collector @TheShirtUnion noticed an interesting detail regarding the custom cup font on the back. In promotional photography featuring Lisandro Martínez, the player name is applied in a classic curved arch across the upper back. However, official product listings on the club's online shop depict player names in a straight horizontal arrangement.
Such variations between promotional photoshoot samples and official store graphics are not unusual for bespoke club cup namesets. While the standard online printing option appears to default to the straight layout, supporters may see the curved style applied during cup fixtures or through select retail printing services.

The Manchester United 26-27 third kit has been fully leaked ahead of its official launch. Made by Adidas, the new strip introduces a clean off-white base complemented by deep maroon trim and dark green accents across the shoulders.
A defining feature of the design is the centered alignment of the chest elements. The Adidas logo, an isolated Red Devil crest, and an icon-only Snapdragon sponsor logo are aligned vertically in maroon down the middle of the chest. The fabric also incorporates an all-over tonal Lancashire rose pattern, drawing inspiration from regional heritage.
Completing the kit, Manchester United will have two shorts options available, featuring either matching off-white shorts or contrasting dark green shorts. Off-white socks with dark green upper bands and maroon branding complete the full 26-27 third strip look.

Elevating the shirt's look are metallic copper accents used for the retro Sunderland crest on the chest and the Hummel branding on the shoulders. The outer back neck area features the inscription "Glass Making Since The 7th Century" in matching copper text, paying homage to Monkwearmouth's historic St Peter's Church and the roots of local craftsmanship.
The Sunderland 26-27 third kit is accompanied by a broader capsule collection, including a matching varsity jacket and pre-match warm-up range, with official availability starting August 14, 2026.
