The leak has been confirmed. Manchester United will be back in blue for the 2011-12 EPL campaign:
And they're looking sharp. As a United supporter (judge away..) and avid kit collector, I'll be purchasing this shirt in the very near future (any suggestions on a player to rep, by the way?). Here's what I wrote about this shirt in early June when we first posted the leak: "Color me a United fan, but I'm in love with this shirt. Manchester United has been known to go blue with their away and third kits in the past, most recently with the 2009 - 2011 blue chevron kit, the blue-out of 2008/09, and the blue and red 2005/06 Vodafones. In terms of style, this black and blue hooped away shirt trumps these three by far, and is a close second to my favorite blue United kit of all time: this 1992 Adidas shirt (a shirt I'm proud to have in my personal collection). This kit should pair with some solid black shorts nicely, and I'm particularly excited to see what kind of socks they use to complete the set (fingers crossed on some matching blue/black hoops). Bottom line, this may be my kit of choice when I'm in Washington DC for the United/Barcelona summer tour friendly on July 30th."So they didn't hoop the socks, but I think I can manage. This is the first United kit I've been genuinely excited about since the racing stripes of '07-08.
