Manchester United Football Shirt History
2002–03
Design: NIKE
Sponsor: VODAFONE
In a very similar shade to that worn in the
club’s 1968 European Cup final
triumph, Nike’s
first third kit for United completed the
standard red, white and blue range of kits
favoured in the 80s. Although the shirt
retained a similar stitched panelling effect to
that of the home and away strips, the shorts
and socks featured a new design with a fine
silver and black trim.
Worn in: The 2–1 win over Bayer Leverkusen
and the thrilling 3–2 win over Olympiakos
Piraeus in the 02–03 Champions League.
Also, a 2–0 win over Southampton.
Worn by: Wes Brown, Diego Forlan,
Ruud van Nistelrooy, Luke Chadwick.
