Manchester United have unveiled their new retro home kit and it is very reminiscent of their shirts of the 1980s.

It is the first strip made by German sportswear manufacturer Adidas since they signed a 10-year partnership with the Premier League giants and it harks back to a different era of United shirts.

The shirt was priced at £60 from the club’s official online megastore on Saturday, with a kids’ shirt priced at an eye-watering £50.

The baby kits are much cheaper, though, right? Well, £35.
Adidas designer Inigo Turner said in a statement on the club website that the ‘iconic’ touches made the kit ground-breaking.

“We have aimed to break expectations by re-engineering simple but impactful design features such as the classic v-neck collar and the iconic three-stripe detailing down the arms as our commitment to giving Manchester United a truly ground-breaking kit for the 2015/16 season.”

In a further statement on the club’s website, further details were revealed.

“There is also a graphic design on the hem of the shirt taken from the 1990 shirt famously worn by Ryan Giggs in his debut season.”
