Man Utd x Originals
Adidas and Manchester United have released the Man Utd x Originals Collection, which pays homage to terrace wear from the late 1980s and early 1990s. The collection includes a range of apparel such as hoodies, t-shirts and a bench jacket, but the standout item is the Man Utd x Originals Third jersey. This shirt is a modern take on the iconic kit worn by the team during the 1988-1990 seasons, complete with a "MUFC" jacquard material and a ribbed collar with red and black detailing. The collection is designed to capture the spirit of the "away day" and the devotion of fans who followed the team during that time.
Manchester United's defender Lisandro Martinez will be featured on the cover of this month's United We Stand fanzine wearing the new Man Utd x Originals third jersey in animated form. The collection also includes a modern shell jacket inspired by the one worn by the manager on the touchlines and an off-pitch hoodie, both in a bold red, white, and black colorway paying homage to the original pieces. The Man Utd x Originals collection is now available for purchase on adidas.com and other retail partners starting May 15th.
Our take on this collection is simple!
The Man Utd x Originals Collection by Adidas is a glorious tribute to the timeless fashion of the late 80s and early 90s. This collection not only celebrates the iconic terrace wear but also captures the spirit of the 'away day' and the unyielding devotion of the fans who travelled to support their team. The bold red, white, and black colorway of the collection pays homage to the original pieces while also giving it a fresh, contemporary edge. With its meticulously crafted ribbed collar and raised club crest, the hero of the collection, the Man Utd x Originals Third jersey, is a true work of art that is bound to turn heads. So, whether you're a die-hard Manchester United fan or a fashion enthusiast, this collection is a must-have that seamlessly blends heritage and modernity to create a truly timeless style statement.
There is more to this collection. We really think it can be mixed and spiced up with some high fashion garments.
A great way to elevate the collection is to pair the bold Third jersey with a tailored blazer, a pair of sleek leather pants, and ankle boots (just run down to your local vintage store for an oversized fit). Alternatively, the off-pitch hoodie would look incredible with a pair of slim-fit black jeans and chunky, high-top sneakers (please not the Balenciaga ones). For a more avant-garde look, try pairing the Bench Jacket with a tailored, wide-leg trouser suit and high-heeled ankle boots. This collection's timeless design makes it easy to mix and match with any high fashion piece, so don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with your style. The possibilities are endless, have fun!
