adidas Launch Manchester United 20/21 Away Shirt

Set to debut in their crucial UEFA Europa League semi-final v Sevilla FC on Sunday night, adidas launch the Manchester United 20/21 away shirt.

Having already unveiled the club’s home shirt for the coming campaign, adidas now unveil Manchester United’s 20/21 away shirt, and it features a subtle engineered ‘legend earth green’ pattern, which is made up of an intricately hand-drawn and painted design. The dark colour palette contrasts with clean white accents to offer a versatile and contemporary look, designed with the club’s famous away supporters in mind.

It’s a nice, clean design, but you may be wondering why exactly the players are modelling the new shirt on a bus and in what looks like an old convertible Saab. Well, apparently the new shirt is based on away fan journeys using a range of transport, and the feeling of togetherness when joining other fellow supporters on the road. United and adidas wanted to recognise the importance of the club’s legendary away following – and while travelling to football matches is currently not possible they wanted to look ahead to the day when they can once again be loudly heard wherever the team is playing. So there you go. Bus and Saab, makes total sense to us.
