HardyManchester United Third Kit 2008-09
September 3rd 2008 05:00
Manchester United's new blue kit for the 2008/09 season of the English Premier League has been designed to celebrate 40 years since the Red Devils wore blue in becoming the first English team to win the European Cup.
Manufactured by sportswear giants Nike, the new kit is worthy of that great team and their famous 4-1 win over Benfica at Wembley. The new blue shirt includes a number of details that commemorate the achievement including the embroidery of the words 'May 29th 1968' and '40th Year Anniversary' around the crest on the player's left chest, and an inside back neck shirt detail taken from the 1968 final ticket and shirt crest.
United captain Gary Neville said: "I think it’s fantastic, I like the traditional kits. I think we should wear kits that represent the history of the club and this one certainly does that.
"I think you will think about that night and that team when you wear this kit, particularly with the embroidery of the date around the badge. The fans will love it."

The shirt fabric is 100% polyester and features mesh side panels along with NikeFIT DRY technology designed to keep you dry, cool and comfortable despite the elements.
