Kit 2003–04, 2004–05
Design: NIKE
Sponsor: VODAFONE
A real retro 70s collar was combined with an
80s pinstripe design and 21st
century fabrics
to create this great third kit. A shame, perhaps,
that it was not the first choice change outfit.
The shorts included horizontal trim at each leg
and the socks were a straightforward reversal
of the away design. The shirt was given a fresh
look by the inclusion of a red Vodafone logo.
Also worn with the away kit’s black shorts.
Worn in: The great 2–1 win over Liverpool at
Anfield and the 2–0 victory over Villa on the
last day of the season (both 03–04), but best
remembered for the 1–0 win over Arsenal
(minus Henry) in the 03–04 FA Cup semi-final.
Worn by: Alan Smith, Cristiano Ronaldo,
Kieran Richardson, Wayne Rooney, Louis Saha.
