Man United bring back classic '90s 'snowflake' away kit for 2025-26

Manchester United have unveiled their away kit for the 2025-26 Premier League season, symbolizing a fresh start with a predominantly white base featuring very faint graphic overlays.

The key design element is the return of the popular "snowflake" pattern, first used on the club's classic 1990-92 away kit and frequently revisited in retro-inspired merchandise.

While maintaining the same color scheme as the early 1990s original, the new kit features an enlarged version of the jagged snowflake graphic covering the entire jersey. The flakes themselves are rendered in a faint lilac hue that creates a shimmering metallic effect.

The design is described as dainty and delicate, with minimal contrasting trim in a dark, plummy tone used for the shoulder stripes and the simple V-neck.

The article suggests the new away kit is likely to divide fan opinion, but notes that reviving classic designs, even if resulting in a "pale imitation," is generally viewed positively.
