Reviving some early ‘90s nostalgia, adidas launch a re-issue of the 1991 Manchester United European Cup Winners' Cup shirt. It arrives within a nostalgic collection featuring tracksuit pieces, inspired by that iconic era full of academy prospects and that esteemed Sharp sponsor.
Adidas are changing the game for retro shirt lovers as they delve into the archives once more to revive 1991 Manchester United with a nostalgic collection. It was only a couple weeks ago that they brought us back the iconic home and away Real Madrid shirts from '99, and they are clearly not stopping there – committed to bringing that 90's nostalgia back to football. Well, we are here for it. The collection is made up of tracksuit pieces, including top and bottoms, alongside the star of the show – a re-issue of the 1991 European Cup Winners' Cup shirt. Taking it back to that year, Manchester United face a daring Barcelona side in a headline European clash. Two goals from former Barca star Mark Hughes led United to their first European title in 23 years, becoming a hallmark moment in the club's history.
This shirt is the definition of simple beauty. A classic red and white colourway, fashioned with a subtle geometric jaquard pattern which was an iconic symbol of that era of football. The shirts dons the vintage club crest of that time, with the distinct markings of the European Cup Winners' Cup and the year in which they competed in the final. All the details and all the class. The established adidas Trefoil logo is embroidered into the chest – a sight we love to see and absolute necessity for that adi nostalgia.
Looking closer at the tracksuit, it embodies the style and substance of any United player during the 90's. Featuring bottoms and track top both modelling that iconic Man U red and black, the top brings back one of the most iconic sponsors we have ever seen on the pitch, with the Sharp logo shining bright on the back. Sharp was the epitome on 90's United, recognisable at first glance, a match made in heaven. When you think of one you must immediately think of the other, so a no-brainer to bring this back in the collection.
