The new Manchester United home kit inspired by the city’s industrious
past this season. The 2012-13 shirt will feature the iconic gingham
check that hailed from Manchester’s famous cotton mills.
Manchester United Football club’s success has been founded on the
traditional values of respect and hard work. Those values are what made
Manchester the city it is and from the mid 18th century the cotton mills
there were prolific in the industry. From those mills came the gingham
fabric, an iconic check that like Manchester United is famous around the
world and is now – for the first time – used on a Manchester United
home shirt.
The tonal gingham in traditional and iconic red gives the home shirt a
bold new look. The black v-neck collar gives the shirt a contemporary
look. The inner back neck graphic on the shirt reads, ‘Forged in
Industry, Striving for Glory’; paying tribute to the cities industrial
past but also the club’s hard-working ethos.
The outer neck graphic is the iconic devil symbol so synonymous around
the world with Manchester United whilst a diagonal hatched graphic on
the white shorts is a subtle link to the gingham used on the shirt.
