Manchester United have unveiled the new away shirt they will be wearing on their travels for the 2020-21 season and have, appropriately, sent their stars on the road for the launch.
It may look pitch black in some of the promotional images but the shirt is actually a very dark shade of green (“legend earth green,” according to manufacturers Adidas) and boasts a subtle pattern made up of hand-drawn and painted flecks.
The moody palette and hand-drawn pattern is offset by a startling white trim, with the whole thing apparently created in homage to United’s hardy away fans and the sense of camaraderie they share.
As a further nod to the club’s travelling contingent, the new shirt has been revealed using an array of transport as used by supporters to reach opposing stadiums around the country.
