This is more like it.
When rumours first began circulating that Manchester United’s third kit for next season would feature the ‘Holy Trinity’ statue of George Best, Denis Law and Sir Bobby Charlton outside Old Trafford, most United fans were quite excited about how that would look.
Then images of an actual physical mockup of the shirt dropped, and all that enthusiasm waned markedly. The design was crude and poorly executed, with the three United legends looking more like a trio of Morphs than their true likeness. The grab grey didn’t help either.

But it seems that (thankfully) the crude effort spreading across the internet was exactly that, and that the real version is far more subtle and classy. What’s more, the shirt colour is a more light shimmery silver than dull matt grey. Footyheadlines have revealed how next season’s second change kit will look, and it’s very stylish indeed.
The trinity are shown in dotted transparent form and don’t overly dominate the jersey, which is a far more fitting tribute to United’s 1968 European Cup winning heroes…
