The Manchester United Chinese New Year jersey

For the Chinese New Year, adidas unveiled a new Manchester United kit, which pays tribute to the transition from the Year of the Pig to the Year of the Mouse. The jersey presented by the German brand is the fourth designed for the Red Devils this season, although it will not be used in official matches. The new kit keep the club's social colours, but features special graphics for the occasion. The jersey is in fact characterized by the design of the iconic Chinese dragon that stands out on the red pattern. Black collar with golden adidas logo and Manchester United crest in the middle of the chest complete the uniform.

The adidas kit is based on the same model as the jerseys created for FIFA EA Sports, the adidas EQT inspired by the '90s, with the 'v' collar and without the three stripes on the sleeves. The adidas project follows a common trend of European clubs, which on New Year's Eve often promote initiatives aimed precisely at the Chinese market (such as Inter, PSG, Barcellona e Manchester City, which last year had taken to the pitch with names written in Chinese or dedicated fonts). The Manchester United kit will be part of a 'Chinese New Year' collection, which includes, in addition to the T-shirt, a series of items entirely dedicated to the New Year.
