When Will Manchester United Wear Their Third Kit?
The buzz around Manchester United’s newly unveiled adidas third kit has been impossible to miss. Dropped on Tuesday morning, the design nods to the club’s ‘90s heritage with a bold, retro twist, quickly earning a place in fans’ conversations.
Crafted as part of a sleek, timeless adidas collection, this black design evokes memories of Manchester United’s golden eras, recalling legendary players and famous away triumphs.
The chest features a striking yellow Trefoil alongside the club badge, while intricate, devil-inspired accents are woven subtly into the fabric. With moisture-controlling AEROREADY technology, it keeps fans comfortable as new moments in club history unfold.
But the question remains: when will we actually see it on the pitch?
The Premier League schedule offers a clear answer. United’s first two away trips – Fulham on 24 August and the short hop to Manchester City three weeks later – won’t require a change from the iconic red home shirt.
It’s the late-September clash with Brentford that will mark the third kit’s competitive debut. With the Bees’ red-and-white stripes clashing with both home and away options, the sleek black strip will finally get its turn in the spotlight.
Beyond Brentford, the third kit is also pencilled in for trips to Nottingham Forest, Wolves, Arsenal, and Sunderland later in the league campaign.
Cup fixtures may expand that list even further, with the Carabao Cup draw on Wednesday night potentially throwing up earlier-than-usual opportunities to showcase the design.
United’s earlier start in the domestic cup is a quirk of missing out on European qualification – a reality fans hope will be corrected by season’s end. Until then, the third kit will serve as both a fresh look for the team and a reminder of the club’s ability to blend history with style.
