A Dick’s Sporting Goods shop in the United States has leaked the new Manchester United kit for 2015-16. The new line of shirts is currently on sale in the retail shop and that’s about a week ahead of schedule. The club and their new apparel partner Adidas planned to unveil the shirt on August 1st.
Adidas paid the club a world record £750 million to produce the new Manchester United kit, and somehow the new design got out there before the people controlling the situation wanted it to.
A fan caught it, took a picture, posted it online, and now we’re off.
