English Premier League clubs often replace their costumes, becoming an accepted phenomenon. There are huge sums to win at home, on the outside, and perhaps a third move in each new season.
On Tuesday, Manchester United announced its new costume for the 2018/19 season. There is a catch that has never been used in the club's home towns.
The well-known red sweater is decorated with thin horizontal black stripes on the bottom of the suit, and for the first time in modern times, United will play in black shorts. The stockings should be a combination of red and black.

Criticized by the fans
United's official card is white since the club changed its name from Newton Heath to Manchester United in 1902. Previously, the black n & # 39; has been used only in games outside where the local team also has white shorts.
United writes on his website that the new costume is a tribute to the founding of the club in 1878. The black bands will symbolize the railroads and the railroad industry. The club was created by railwaymen under the name Newton Heath Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Football Club.
– The team used black shorts and we try to tell this story in a modern way by linking the past to the future.
Monday night, the reactions to Twitter were about the design of the costume and the change of color from white shorts to black shorts.
– Adidas, what do you think, ask a user
– Shocked and terrified of the new suit, writes another.

Costly
Another item that wakes up in England is the price that fans have to buy to buy the "authentic" version of the costume.
A complete set of adults, with a sweater, shorts and stockings costs 183 pounds (1960's small crown). Only the shirt costs 110 pounds (about 1175 NOK). This is the most expensive football costume in history, according to Telegraph
The high price and the fact that the costume may be replaced after a season of use make that United fans react with difficulty, writes Sky News. if you pay 183 pounds for the new United suit, you write.
Another question: – What is the inspiration for the rare high price? Greed?
– It's disgusting and no longer concerns fans, writing a third.
The club should first wear the costume during the next American tour.
