Ranking every Manchester United home shirt of the Premier League era

Quick Reads

Manchester United are still the most successful team of the Premier League – and they’ve had some pretty impressive kits in that time, too.

We’ve ranked each and every home shirt Manchester United have worn in the Premier League to date.

Note: We based our ranking on a vote we took in 2017 so if you’re unhappy with the order, you’ve only got yourself – or at least your 2017 self – to blame. If you do want to slag us off, tweet @planetfutebol.

21. 2018-19

The black stripes that cover the bottom half of the shirt are meant to be a nod to the club’s history, but it looks more like a barcode.

20. 1996-97

We’re still not sure why Umbro decided to move the United badge to the centre of the shirt. The strange sleeves and different colours don’t really help either.

19. 2016-17

Adidas tried something different with this kit. They shouldn’t have bothered.

18. 2014-15

Much like Louis van Gaal’s football, this kit was pretty forgettable.

17. 2009-10

Nike ruined three-years’ worth of good work in 2009-10. The black chevron leaves this like something a rugby league club would wear.

Still, Owen v Man City…

16. 2004-06

This would’ve been a nice shirt if the badge was in the right place.

15. 2010-11

After the chevron disaster, Nike went back to simplicity. Dimitar Berbatov still manages to make it look cool, though.

14. 2017-18

Essentially the same as the 2015-16 shirt but with a buttoned collar.

13. 2011-12

A decent effort and a good collar, but it was tainted by an awful season.

12. 2002-04

Diego Forlan struggling to get his shirt back on against Southampton springs to mind when we see this kit. In a good way.

11. 2019-20

A throwback to 1999 and we actually quite like the crest. Even the Chevrolet logo can’t ruin this kit.

10. 2012-13

Robin van Persie, Sir Alex Ferguson and a Premier League title.

9. 2000-02

Quite a smart and stylish kit that became associated with David Beckham. That can never be a bad thing.

8. 2020-21

Maybe it’s just because Bruno Fernandes is wearing it, but we love this shirt. It took everything in our power not to place it higher, but let’s see what we all think of it come the end of the season.
