12. Manchester United

I don’t know if I can ever get over how truly terrible United’s monstrous Chevrolet logo is. I’m sure the board members and club are overjoyed with the money that it pours into their club, but it overshadows just about everything else on the kit. You’ve seen it before, but just look at it again.

I don’t know if any of the other sponsor’s logos and print are actually bigger, but there aren’t any that stand out more. Other than that, I can’t find much wrong with the rest of it. United’s famous vibrant red stands out, and the dapper stripes along the sleeve and shoulders look great. I even like the socks. That shiny, elongated plus sign in near the top just makes me sad.

The away kit is another decent looking outfit ruined by the American car manufacturer (that’s the last time I’ll complain about it, I promise). A throwback style to their 1990-92 kit with the colors changed, it looks modern, yet authentically ’90s. That’s tough to do, but Adidas pulled it off.

The alternate jersey for United this season is something  I’m sure their supporters will love, especially the older fans, but I can’t see anyone else enjoying.

The silver shirt definitely pops in contrast with their others, and the whole kit would be perfectly minimalist without the dark grey shades at the bottom. Those shadows are the graphic of the trinity statue outside of Old Trafford. The three players depicted on the shirt are a great way to honor their legends, but it just looks muddled, or a very specific sweat pattern.
