Manchester United have unveiled their new Adidas home kit and it is reminiscent of their shirts of the 1980s.
It is the first strip made by the German sportswear manufacturer since they signed a 10-year partnership with the Premier League giants last summer, taking over from Nike.
The shirt costs £60 from the club’s official online megastore on Saturday, with a kids’ shirt priced at £50. A baby kit is £35.

Adidas designer Inigo Turner said in a statement on the club website: “We have aimed to break expectations by reengineering simple but impactful design features such as the classic v-neck collar and the iconic three-stripe detailing down the arms as our commitment to giving Manchester United a truly ground-breaking kit for the 2015-16 season.”
United announced in July last year the agreement of a 10-year, £750 million ($1.28 billion) contract with Adidas — the biggest deal in sports-licensing history.
