As per the local media reports, the Red Devils will play in a striking blue and black kit in their away games. The kits have been inspired by the blue kits worn in a number of EPL club’s most famous triumphs over the years which also included the 1948 FA Cup Final and the 1968 European Cup Final.

The new away shirt consists of a royal blue body and sleeves with hoops made of small midnight navy blue and black stripes. There are 11 stripes in each hoop to represent each player of the Manchester United outfit.

The pattern of the shirt is modelled on a previous United away shirt, which consisted of red and white hoops and was worn between 1932 and 1939. It was also briefly adopted as the Reds’ home shirt for the last two months of the 1933/34 season.

The shorts are entirely black except for the same hoop from the shirt, consisting of 11 midnight navy blue and black stripes at the bottom of the back of each leg. The socks are black with a white devil from the club crest on the calf and a royal blue band at the top.
