Apart from when our kits were made by Kappa or Adidas, all our away shirts have come with yellow shorts and socksIt's a nice shirt. Although a bit much with the yellow shorts and socks so I wouldn't have gone full kit wanker with it.
Yeah wouldn’t have this carry on now with Eriksen,Holtby would have signed again he knows what sides his bread buttered.Shame Eriksen came along and nicked his spot
Thank you for the insightIt's quite well known, but her you go: The Tottenham shirt blunder that cost people their jobs
I have that shirt without the aia.I could be wrong, but I believe the AIA colour on away/third kits is partly down to the clarity on camera.
Obviously, red on our white kits really pops - but if you think about it then red lettering on our away (navy) or third (dark green) wouldn't have been as legible as what we ended up with.
I wouldn't worry about a yellow kit having a red AIA given that it was navy (same as the badge) the last time we had a yellow kit.
my brother was working for AIG when they sponsored united. the day that the sponsorship started, the IT department did a couple of overnight forced changes on everyones computer: man Utd team photo as the wallpaper, and a rotating 3d man utd badge as the screensaver. they also left a man utd shirt on every seat.Boring fact I found out:
AIA means American International Assurance.
Seems weird an Asian insurance company that became independent from AIG (American International Group, sponsor of United) wouldn’t just change their name to Asian International Assurance.
I have too much time on my hands
Had they asked all the employees to actually wear the shirts at work that would have just about topped it all off...mass walkout/strike incoming.my brother was working for AIG when they sponsored united. the day that the sponsorship started, the IT department did a couple of overnight forced changes on everyones computer: man Utd team photo as the wallpaper, and a rotating 3d man utd badge as the screensaver. they also left a man utd shirt on every seat.
their man UK call centre is in liverpool
Another one taken in Asia apparently.
I think it's the right kit,but either the quality control has dropped significantly or its a fake because that cockerel badge is shocking. I'd expect the real deal to have an even white space between the blue cockerel and the white stitching.
Also the wording on the collar is upside down.

Plus the neck line is not square on it’s to one side, obviously copied of a picture or something?Also the wording on the collar is upside down.
