As the season progresses, the Premier League is ablaze, and the design of the new Manchester United jersey has been quietly making the rounds online. The design inspiration for the new jersey goes back twenty years, and seems to speak of a historical echo. It is said that the new owner of the Red Devils, Ratcliffe, is behind this retro trend, and he expects the team to take off again along this path of revival.
The revealed design shows a jersey with a rippled pattern, with a clever addition of thick black stripes on the shoulders for an eye-catching look. And coincidentally, the logo of new sponsor Snapdragon on the jersey mirrors that of Vodafone in 2003.
This jersey design won the praise of many Red Devils fans when it was unveiled. One said, "It gives me a retro vibe, very much like it, as if I've gone back to the days of Vodafone."
The away jersey, on the other hand, is a gray-blue color, complemented by red text and stripes, reminiscent of the away style of the 2005/06 season. In that season, the rise of Crowe and Rooney started a new dynasty for the team.
Rumor has it that the design of this new home and away jerseys was solely the decision of new owner Ratcliffe, who wants the team to break out of the slump they were in from 2003 to 2006 and have a true renaissance.
