Adidas has collaborated with Manchester United to launch the Icons collection, which is a throwback replica collection that reflects the culture and style of past years. The collection features
jerseys, track tops, and shorts that are inspired by the '90s era of football, which produced some of the game's most iconic legends and styles. The collection sits perfectly between current streetwear and football culture.
The collection is available now at United Direct, and it reimagines what it would’ve looked like if Manchester United had donned the iconic Adidas Equipment range. The Manchester United x Adidas Icons Jersey combines classic and modern details, including a central team crest, a large diagonal 3-Stripes on the sides, and an Adidas Badge of Sport at the base of the collar. For vintage fans, the jersey will undoubtedly evoke fond memories, while for younger fans, it will provide a new Manchester United experience.
The Manchester United Icon Top offers us a glimpse of what Manchester United would have looked like in the iconic Adidas Equipment range. The jacket combines classic style with modern details, featuring a central team crest, Adidas badge, and a half-zip stand-up collar. It is made entirely from premium cotton and features a loose fit, kangaroo pocket, and an elasticated bottom hem and cuffs, locking in comfort and finishing off that signature '90s style.
The Manchester United x Adidas Icon Goalkeeper Jersey is a perfect blend of modern technology and throwback style. This double-knit polyester long-sleeve jersey features an all-over disruptive design, and the loose fit confirms its blast from the past status. The club crest sits proudly on the left side, with the Adidas logo on the right-hand side.
Finally, the Manchester United Icon Woven Pants offer comfortable fitting, thanks to its elastic drawcord waist, elastic cuffs, and mid-waist rise. The front zip pockets secure valuables, whilst club and Adidas branding is accompanied by the iconic Adidas three-stripe panelling on each leg.
The collection is a celebration of Manchester United's rich history and Adidas' iconic design, and it is sure to delight fans who appreciate the club's classic style. Photo by edwin.11, Wikimedia commons.
