Manchester United's third kit for the 2019/20 season, manufactured by Adidas, has reportedly been leaked online. The Kitman published images on Tuesday that are claimed to show the shirt United will wear in domestic and European competitions when their home and away kits clash with opponents.
The design is said to pay homage to United's first FA Cup victory in 1909, when they beat Bristol City 1-0. In that final, both teams wore red, so the FA ordered new kits: United wore white shirts with a red V-stripe, while Bristol wore blue. The leaked kit, however, features black as the primary colour.
Inspiration from the 1909 kit includes a subtle rose pattern, referencing the red rose of Lancashire that adorned the original shirts. The classic Adidas stripes on the shoulders are black, while the United badge and Adidas logo appear in red. The Chevrolet sponsor logo sits centrally on the jersey.
The leak comes shortly after United's away kit for 2019/20 was also leaked online, continuing a trend of early reveals for the club's upcoming strips.
