Mighty Morphin M.U. Rangers!

"United's new home kit for the 2009/10 campaign has been officially unveiled and you can now see it in all its glory in our special gallery on ManUtd.com"

Ya, the release of MU's new home kit has been officially announced by their official website days ago. The red kit celebrates 100 years of Old Trafford with a large chevron across the chest, reflecting the design of the shirts worn by United when the stadium first opened during the 1909/10 season. Sounds good ah. Let's see how's the new designed jerseys.

We can see this picture in the website. Park, Rooney, and Ferdinand are the main models for the new jersey. Wow, there's a huge V on each of their chest! LOL. Actually the tribute kit is based upon a 100-year-old design supplied by one of the club's own players, Billy Meredith, before the 1909 FA Cup Final.

United's kit makers Nike have been asked to rework Meredith's shirt - using high-tech materials rather than heavyweight cotton and with a white sash on a red shirt instead of 1909's red-on-white. There're a lot of information about the history of MU jerseys at www.prideofmanchester.com/sport/mufc-kits.htm , if u are interested to see what they wear previously. For me the recent jerseys of MU are quite nice looking and sporty. Well done, men.

Here is the story in 1909. Meredith, a former Welsh coal miner, earned £4 a week at United, then three times a miner's wage but just £298 a week in today's money. As a sideline he ran a sports shop and became the club's kit supplier. For the Wembley final with Bristol City, both sides had to change from their usual red shirts. Meredith quickly arranged for a set of white lace-up shirts with a red V to be made, and United went on to win 1-0.

Haha. What a lucky jersey huh. Let's take a closer look on it.

Ya, there's a huge V above the AIG logo, and there's black strip around the collar area. Ooops. The huge V seems so familiar with something that I just can't remember it.

Here's the shorts. Nothing's special and it's pretty simple and nice looking.

Why the huge V is so familiar to me? Yes. Maybe you are thinking the same too. Our famous childhood heroes!

Ya, It's the POWER RANGERS! Or specifically, the POWER RANGERS MYSTIC FORCE! Or more specifically, the RED RANGER. I can't imagine seeing Rio Ferdinand's face when the red ranger takes off his helmet.


Maybe, this poster may suit them if they want to make a power ranger series.
