New Manchester United kit promo leaked (Video)

JOE

It was went live on YouTube and was quickly deleted, but the first real promo for the new Manchester United home kit is here.

The poem in the leaked video reads like a call to arms:

Manchester
Grey skies and dreary cobbles they said,
A football club born on its head.
But beware son
Kick someone enough and their bound to kick back
We’re Manchester, United
Forged a three pronged weapon
Attack, Attack, Attack
Not just some logo, much more than that
A trident to break Expectations, no matter what.
To smash and tread where others dare not
Wielded in Europe
To win it with kids
Singles, Doubles, Trebles
In the hands of the occasional rebel
Write them off? Your off your head
Don’t you know, the devil was a red

The words are stirring and the design is clear – this is a retro throwback to Adidas kits of the 80s. It bears a particularly close resemblance to the 1987 kit…
