Manchester United Away Jersey 2009/2010

In this season of madness regarding away jerseys for football teams, ably lead by that ghastly creation Newcastle United will be wearing, is this the new Manchester united away jersey I ask myself.

The colour grey has always been a sore point with Fergie ever since the last one they used.

They trailed Southampton 3-0 at half time and Fergie ordered that they all take off that grey kit and don the third kit for the rest of the match, which they went on to lose 3-1.

Now we have another grey creation manufactured by Nike.

The Sky Blue is a nice touch, reminds me of another team with loads of money who can't sign a good player for love nor money, now what's their name ?

Manchester United To Wear All White Kit For Champions League Final Against Barcelona In Rome

Manchester United lost the call for who would be designated the 'home team' for the Championbs League Final against Barcelona and as such will have to play in their all-white kit. This is not a bad thing either. They wore all white on the only other occassion they faced Barcelona in a European final, the 1991 European Cup Winners Cup Final.

As United's first strip is red and their second is blue, they decided to play in all-white, the colours of Barcelona's arch-rivals Real Madrid.

Sir Alex was reminded that all-white is the colour that Barca's arch rivals, Real Madrid, wear. Ferguson laughed when he was also reminded that the last time Barcelona faced a team wearing all-white they beat them 6-2, the margin of Barcelona's victory over Real on May 2.

"That was not a defeat, that was an annihilation, we had to change our strip and our first two strips clashed, but we are very happy to be wearing white, very happy, and we are better than Madrid," Sir Alex joked.

United wore all-blue when they won the European Cup in 1968 and their traditional red-and-white kit when they won in 1999 and last year. Barcelona wore an all-orange kit when they won in 1992 and their traditional kit when they beat Arsenal in 2006.

New Manchester United Home And Away Kit For 2009/2010 Season

I added a blog here not so long about concerning the new Manchester United away kit for the 2009/2010 season.

Well to add some confusion to the issue, there is now another away shirt doing the rounds in black. Added to this are a new home shirt too, just to confuse the issue even more.

What do you think of them ?
