adidas Originals and Manchester United Join on a Retro Capsule

Manchester United joins forces with adidas Originals to launch a new collection together highlighting retro themes that stem back to football seasons from 1988-90. The nostalgic new range is inspired by on-pitch uniforms as well as benchside apparel and terrace outfits as well -- all of which are detailed with the club's away days.

The designs are detailed with notable tones of black, blue, and red. The silhouettes feature hoodies, a bench jacket, and graphic tees, and the spotlight shines on the Third jersey. The classic jersey is detailed with a bold blue fabric that is woven along with a MUFU pattern throughout the stripes as a direct nod to the Manchester United kit from 1988.
