I think it looks awesome I hate white kits so i'll get that one this year with Anderson on the back :P

I was looking forward to the white one and was disappointed when they released it the previous one was gorgeous but this one is so not anything near gorgeous...
Looked forward to the third one then but have to admit I don't like it either. Blue is always something like Everton or Chelsea for me, even if it's a bit of a shirt to remember the first CL trophy... I think I keep my money this time around and save it for something different...

Nice shirt great to see us pay homeage to our first European Cup Win!!!

D-Mac · 08-08-2008, 06:02 PM

I think this shirt is at least a lot better thant the new away shirt!

absolute beauty. definitely makes up for the less than stellar white jersey. it would be awesome if they put the tribute crest on the red jersey as well. that would be priceless.

New kit inspired by greatness

Quote:

United's new third kit has been inspired by the success of 1968, when the Reds wore blue while becoming the first English team to lift the European Cup.

To celebrate the 40-year anniversary of the momentous night, Nike has created a kit worthy of that great team and their famous 4-1 win over Benfica at Wembley. United will therefore wear blue as their third kit for the 2008/09 campaign and as the preferred kit for this season's Champions League away matches.

The new blue shirt includes a number of details that celebrate the anniversary including the embroidery of the words 'May 29th 1968' and '40th Year Anniversary' around the crest.

The kit uses Nike Fit fabric technology, first used by Nike in national team kits worn by Nike-sponsored teams in the 2006 World Cup. This technology is designed to enhance player performance by wicking sweat through the material and away from the skin. A full mesh back on the player's jerseys also aids ventilation.

United defender Rio Ferdinand said: "When you look at the final image you will associate it with the great team of 1968 with the likes of George Best and Bobby Charlton.

"Obviously they won the European Cup in blue so we hope we can walk in their shoes again with this kit. It's such a big part of the history of the club."

The new third kit will be unveiled on ManUtd.com this Thursday 28 August, when you'll be able to place pre-orders in our online Megastore. We'll also reveal the winner of our competition to win a shirt signed by Sir Bobby Charlton and Ryan Giggs.

Yeah this kit looks very nice.
I just got my away jersey delivered last week, but i think defs later this year Ill get a blue one with Giggs on the back...I've always wanted one with Giggs...and this seems the perfect top to put it on
