Supporters, for many weeks, have been asking the question of when United’s new kits will be launched for this coming season. Now we have an answer.
United had Adidas manufacturing their kits for over 6 years. After the Adidas contract expired this summer, United signed a multi-year deal with Italian kit manufacturers Errea.
The deal allows the rest of the United World to gain financial benefits from the collaboration with Errea. All of the clubs: Beerschot, Châteauroux, AlHilal United, Kerala United and the United World Academy, will be supplied with Errea kits for the next coming years.
One benefit of signing a deal with Errea is that United now have creative control, and therefore they are in charge of their own kit designs.
For this coming season United will also wear a 3rd kit. In pre-season United have been wearing a very neat looking all white kit. Fans have even said that they wouldn’t mind the all white kit being the 3rd kit for this season.
There were rumours of United’s away kit being based off of the purple Laver kit from the early 90’s season. We will have to wait for the week commencing Monday the 25th of July to see exactly what the kits will look like.
