Below
you'll find all the new Manchester United kits, as worn by the
current squad. You can order them all online and have your own
name and number printed or buy a replica of your favourite player's
Man Utd shirt.
As all profits Manchester United make from the sale of the new
shirt go towards funding the crippling debt Malcom Glazer has
left the club in, estimated to be rising at £300,000 per
day [click
here for latest info], the Manchester United Supporters Trust
are urging fans to boycott the new kit and invest their money
in the Phoenix Fund instead - giving the fans a stake in the club
when the American's are inevitably forced to sell [click

The
new Manchester United shirt is a limited edition, one year only
design (obviously to help repay the Glazer debt) and is described
by the club as being "1950’s retro style – a
tribute to the success of the Busby Babes and their enduring influence".
The name of new sponsor AIG is far smaller than its predecessor,
the domineering Vodaphone logo, resulting in a classy looking
kit. There's a gold seem running along the shoulders and down
the sides whilst the club crest is placed onto a white background
similar to the 1997-99 European shirt. Whether it sells in large
volumes is yet to be seen and may depend on whether funds are
made available for any new big named signings. Interestingly,
the kit is almost an exact replica of the one worn the previous
season by breakaway fans' team, FC United.
(Launch date July 24th 2006. Expires July
2007). |

Like
the home kit, the new Manchester United away shirt is a limited
edition, one year only design and sees a welcome return to United's
traditional change colours of white and black. Gold touches to
the sleeves and collars add to the classy look of this kit.
(Launch date 5th Sep 2006. Expires July
2007). |

The
new Manchester United third choice shirt is the away jersey from
the previous season, adjusted to blatantly include the new sponsor's
logo. Fans groups called for a boycott in 2005 of the Vodaphone-sponsored
version however this was widely ignored and thousands bought the
kit. The organisers of that boycott will allow themselves a sly
smile now the new AIG sponsored United shirt has out dated the
Vodaphone one. Whether the same fans go out and buy the new version
is yet to be seen. Worn with blue shorts and socks.
To be confirmed (Launch date August 2006?
Expires July 2007). |

Following
the announcement Vodaphone were terminating their sponsorship
of United 2 years early, the Glazers desperately went in search
of a new shirt sponsor. Insurance giants, AIG (ironically the
American International Group), were lined up and this kit was
produced for the press launch, with many of the players - especially
Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs - pictured looking not too happy to
be photographed wearing it. (Launch date
May 2006 - Never worn in a match). |

Although
disliked by many fans and despite pleas from anti-Glazer groups
to boycott official Manchester United merchandise in an attempt
to oust the new owner early, the new Man United blue shirt sold
in the thousands. Worn with blue shorts and socks, it only appeared
for one year as a result of Vodaphone terminating their sponsorship
deal early. (Launch
date 1st August 2005 - Expired one year early in July 2006). |

New
signing Edwin Van der Saar replaced Tim Howard as United's first
choice goalkeeper for the disappointing 2005-06 season. Wearing
this traditional green goalkeeper shirt, the Dutch legend played
with the Number 19 squad number; Tim Howard keeping the number
1 jersey. (Launch
date July 2005 - Expired July 2006). |

The
Manchester United home goalkeeper shirt, or the new 'Man U Tim
Howard jersey' as it will probably be better known in America,
could possibly be the best selling keeper top of all time thanks
to the massive popularity of United and T-Ho in the USA. Worn
as an alternative to the green shirt which replaced it in 2005
as first choice. (Launch
date 15th July 2004 - Expired July 2006). |

Hardly
ever seen, this change goalkeeper jersey was worn by Roy Carroll
and Tim Howard when the first choice black keeper shirt clashed
with the referee or the opposition. (Launch
date 15th July 2004 - Expired July 2006). |
