The curious case of the new kit.....


I'm not sure when it started, and I'm not sure why...but each new kit seems to bring a large amount of controversy. A quick search around football blogs all over the web will show you that most people seem to have something ( usually negative ) to say about the new United kit ( to be fair most teams have these kind of rants from supporters ). Now before we get into this too far we need to get one argument out of the way right from the off if we are going to actually talk about this, and that is...simple....yes new kits are a cash grab, every sports team does it so please let's stop banging that drum.
Now I for one have a closet full of pretty much every home and away United kit I have managed to get my hands on and to to be honest really like the new kit, and despite all the negative talk on the web and in pubs all over the world come the first home match of the new season Old Trafford ( as well as packed pubs around the world ) will be filled with supporters in this new kit. Which made me think....is the design really that important.....no...it isn't...if you really get down to it...as long as the home shirt is red....and bares the crest of my beloved Manchester United over my heart....the new kits will always find a place in my heart and closet as well as the hearts and closets of reds around the world!
Cheers
