Overview

• Manchester United and adidas released the black third kit on August 12, featuring yellow-and-blue accents, the Trefoil logo and a woven club-devil motif inspired by the 1993–95 away strip.
• The new United kit is available now through the United Store and retail partners such as Fanatics and JD Sports, offered in replica and authentic versions alongside matching adidas Originals Gazelle trainers.
• Supporters have applauded United’s throwback branding and performance fabrics online, and the club plans to debut the third kit at its Premier League trip to Brentford on September 27.
• Manchester City and PUMA rolled out a grey third kit on August 14, complete with a raindrop graphic, neon-green trim and the slogan “Even when it rains, we shine,” coinciding with PUMA’s record £100 million-a-season partnership extension.
• City’s weather-themed design drew significant social-media criticism, with fans calling out its colour scheme and graphic pattern despite the club’s intent to honor local identity.
