Manchester United References the City's Industrial History in 2023/24 Home Jersey
First spotted on UK rapper, Aitch, at Glastonbury Festival.
Manchester United and adidas have just presented their new home jersey for the 2023/24 season and it sees the duo take inspiration from Manchester’s rich history and industrial foundations.
Originally unveiled by Mancunian rapper and Manchester United fan, Aitch, at Glastonbury Festival, the new jersey embodies the spirit of the 0161 with the strip including a design that features the iconic red rose of United in a geometric pattern. This is inspired by the bridge between Manchester and Salford that was built during the industrial revolution, a creation that was placed above the river Irwell and continues to stand as a symbol of the deep connection Mancunians have with the city’s industrial legacy.

The jersey’s new pattern is featured atop a primarily red block design, with the club crest and customary adidas logo being placed on the chest in white. Rounding off the design, the new shirt is complemented by a striped flat knit crew neck collar, which sports the classic Manchester United hues of red, white, and black.
The on-field version of the new Manchester United jersey — made from 100% recycled materials — is constructed with HEAT.RDY technology and is used to keep players feeling comfortable while performing at the highest level. Meanwhile, the fan version of the kit includes AEROREADY technology, which uses sweat-wicking and absorbent materials to keep wearers dry.
You can take a closer look at the new Manchester United jersey above and you will be able to see it IRL for the first time when United takes on Leeds United FC on July 12. The jersey is also now available to purchase via the official Manchester United webstore and with select adidas retailers.
