Man Utd’s new Zebra third kit leaked – it’s so very bad

Man Utd’s new Zebra third kit is leaked – and after having a look at it, we think it’s so very bad, something in common with the initial reaction with it.

The ever reliable FootyHeadlines uploaded photos of the new look strip, but it’s gone down very badly with the famous Premier League outfit’s fanbase on social media.

Not only does it have too much going on with it, but it also has the black and white stripes under the well known Adidas shoulder lines. Take a look at the newly released images below…

Previous reports back up this leak, suggesting the new third kit would feature a ‘dazzle camo’ print all over the shirt, and the latest images appear to reveal its bold and unique nature ahead of its official launch prior to the upcoming campaign.

The Adidas logo is stitched in traditional red while the United badge is embroidered on the opposite side with the logo of shirt sponsors Chevrolet placed underneath in the centre.

A special text and the Man Utd logo is also said to be included inside the collar.

Dazzle camouflage was first used in World War I for ships so that they were harder to track with regards to distance, speed and direction of travel.

More recently, it has previously been used on cars during test drivers, including by the Red Bull F1 during the 2015 testing period.

United’s kit would be the second notable inclusion of the design in football kits, however Nike did recently release Tiempo Legend 8 boots which included a similar pattern.

Forest Green Rovers have also done something similar for the 2020/21 season.

Recognised by FIFA as the greenest football club in the world, the League Two side are working with PlayerLayer for a third season – unveiling another new kit – once again utilising a bamboo-mix material proudly sporting nature’s original camo – the zebra stripe.

Dale Vince, Chairman, Forest Green Rovers, said: “I love this kit. It looks fantastic, bamboo is a super material to wear – and it’s a great evolution of our incredibly popular green and black original. I’m looking forward to the new season and seeing this kit in action.”

Speaking about the design, Forest Green’s Ebou Adams said: “I really like how we’ve blended a retro feel into a modern kit, and I’m sure the fans will like it too. I can’t wait for away days.”

Last season’s newly launched home kit, the green and black zebra print, saw stock sell out on numerous occasions throughout the season, with orders being shipped to over 46 countries.

Now the thing is, this FGR kit looks superb and should continue to sell well, compared to United’s leaked third strip, which is quite simply a mess.

One user said on the Man Utd kit: ‘Just gets worse & worse for us f**…’, while another stated: ‘What’s wrong with this club,’ followed by two angry faces before adding: ‘Serious team/club are busy unveiling new players but my beloved Manchester United is busy unveiling jersey’.

Another Twitter user responded saying: ‘Our team has been humiliated many times over the last few years to force players to wear that s*** kit,’ while another added: ‘You have got to be joking? April 1st soon came round.’

Some supporters demanded Adidas to re-think their design, with one writing: ‘You still have time to rectify this mistake. Sit overnight and come up with a minimalistic clean design for the third kit – Concerned Manchester United Fans.’
