Manchester United may still be struggling for consistency on the pitch, watching a three-game winning streak recently come to an end with a 2–2 draw against a struggling Nottingham Forest. But the club’s latest off-field release has set pulses racing.
The adidas Originals look has returned in a big way in recent years, across all of the brand’s leading partner clubs, replacing the more modern three stripes with the classic Trefoil logo and taking heavy inspiration for new designs from the late 1980s and early 1990s.
This season’s black third kit is reminiscent of the change jersey the team wore between 1993 and 1995. Now, the collection is combining vintage football with urban fashion.
The shirt features a twist on the cult snowflake graphic used for the club’s 1990–92 away strip, with blue all-over pattern on black and white checkerboard, complete with a yellow adidas Trefoil and accents, as well as a retro-looking shield-backed United crest.
The jersey has been modelled by Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Leny Yoro in a stylish photoshoot that sees the players posing in a vintage campervan parked in an urban setting. The rest of the collection includes a hoodie and tracksuit.
Vintage is cool in 2025 and, back in April, United released a reissue of the white adidas jersey worn in the 1991 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final against Barcelona, which saw Alex Ferguson guide the club to a second trophy in as many seasons—and his first European prize since moving to England.
