Manchester United Launch 2013-14 Home Kit with the Tagline 'To Be Continued'

Manchester United released their 2013-14 home kit on Wednesday, promoting the new design with the tagline, "To be continued."

The Nike design features a traditional red shirt with a black buttoned collar that can be popped Eric Cantona-style. The shorts are white with black trim at the back, while the socks come in black with a red and white hoop halfway up. 

Here's an extract from United's official website on the science behind the design:

"

The kit is made of fabric weighing just 150 grams, which is 23 percent lighter than previous Nike kits. It also boasts a 20 percent stronger knit structure and a significantly improved stretch. The fabric is integrated with Nike Dri-Fit technology, which draws away sweat from the body to keep players cool and dry. 

"

"It's quite plain, but (I like) the red, white and black and I quite like the collar on it. Yeah, I'm a fan," said United's Tom Cleverley of the new design.

"It's good to have something different on it," said Wayne Rooney of the black collar, which he popped for a video shoot promoting the kit launch.

"It fits nice, it's comfortable, the texture's nice. I do like the kit," said Rio Ferdinand.

United's new kit is available for pre-order at ManUtd.com and goes on sale at 8.30 a.m. local time on Thursday.
