adidas Originals calls it back to the late ‘80s.
Old Trafford, 1988.
Striker Mark Hughes returned to the club after spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, while teenage winger Lee Sharpe joined from Torquay United.
They would join legendary figures like Bryan Robson, Steve Bruce and Bryan McClair.
Alex Ferguson was building his first great team.
‘80s energy
The new adidas Originals Manchester United away kit for 2026/27 is a throwback to this era.
Inspired by the away kit from 1988-90, it lands in the now iconic Team Royal Blue with red and white trims.
The wavy patterning on the front is a nod to the nearby River Irwell, a tribute to the heart of Manchester.
Red 3-Stripes run down the shoulders, while the Trefoil and famous club crest are stamped to the chest.
Matchday-ready
Built to beat the best, it’s crafted from smooth doubleknit fabric that’s light and breathable for cool comfort until the final whistle.
CLIMACOOL, or CLIMACOOL+ on the player-issue version, removes sweat to keep you in the zone. Mesh panels enhance airflow to help you stay locked-in.
The shirt lands alongside shorts and socks, with men’s, women’s and kids’ sizes.
It’s time to run back the clock. Get yours now.
