Manchester United's away kit for next season will feature never-used-before colours

Manchester United's away kit for next season will feature a never-used-before colourway consisting of white, light lavender and dark plum, according to a new report.

Ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, United announced a deal with American technology company Qualcomm that would see its Snapdragon brand replace TeamViewer as their front-of-shirt sponsor.

We are getting used to seeing the Snapdragon logo, featuring a red-coloured S shape with dragon features, in the middle of United's home, away and third shirts.

And next season, the logo is expected to feature alongside a very unusual combination of colours.

A report from Footy Headlines suggests United's away shirt for the 2025/26 campaign will be white and light lavender combined with dark plum accents.

It is also claimed that the away shorts will also come in dark plum, whilst the home shirt is likely to remain the traditional red.

Here's how fans on social media reacted to the news.

One said: "What in the washing up tablet is going on here?" and another commented: "Potential for the best away kit of the past decade."

A third wrote: "I like this. Something different & good colours. Let’s hope the design matches up to it. Would love a nice clean black kit for our third kit."

A fourth said: "A beautiful kit cannot improve the poor performance," whilst a fifth added: "That actually looks like a nice colourway."

United's apparel in the coming years will be made by Adidas after the sportswear manufacturer renewed their kit sponsorship deal with the Premier League club last summer.

It is the biggest kit deal in Premier League history and guarantees United a minimum of £90 million per year for 10 seasons.

“The relationship between Manchester United and Adidas is one of the most iconic in world sport, forged through a shared commitment to style, flair and, most importantly, high performance," said United's former CEO Richard Arnold.

“With its roots in the 1980s, our partnership has been reinvented over the past decade with some of the most innovative designs and technology in sportswear.

"We are now looking forward to refreshing this powerful partnership again through the remainder of this decade and into the 2030s.”
