Paying
homage to the illustrious history of the Manchester United no. 7 shirt, Nike is
debuting the Manchester United Collection, a Nike Sportswear apparel range
inspired by the flair, leadership and will to win that the club’s no. 7s have embodied through the ages. This range
of off-pitch clothing has been designed with the club’s heritage, colours and
character in mind.
Manchester
United legends including George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo provide the inspiration for the designs and it is their
style, passion and pride that the Manchester United collection captures.
The
Best L/S Polo, red with white trim on the crew neck collar and cuffs, recalls
the home shirt worn by the European Cup-winning team of 1968, whilst the black Woven
Jacket gingham lining references the textile industry that helped establish
Manchester as a centre of industry in the mid-18th century.
The
no. 7 itself takes pride of place on the Covert Vintage Polo, sitting on the
chest alongside a Manchester United crest, whilst the grey Covert Vintage Tri
Blend tee proudly bears a gingham no. 7 on the back. The rest of the collection
is made up of stylish Covert Vintage tees that incorporate a retro Manchester
United crest.
Every
piece of Manchester United Collection apparel has been created with the goal of
reflecting the passion and reverence with which Manchester United fans regard
the no. 7 shirt, and the range combines a vintage design aesthetic combined
with Nike technologies.
