Manchester United reveal new kit for 2014-15 Premier League season

Hoping to purge the woeful disappointments of last season, Manchester United revealed their home Nike kit for the 2014-15 season on Monday.

For the first time American car company Chevrolet's name will appear emblazoned on the famous shirt, in a seven-year deal worth £53 million a season.

Louis van Gaal's club have unsurprisingly retained their traditional red shirt, white collar and cuffs with a red-and-black trim. The kit is completed by white shorts and black socks with a red band.

And new signings Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw – as well as thousands of fans – will be itching to wear the new kit.

The shirt welcomes the return of the white collar, which for the first time is a ribbed crew-neck design, and the bottom of the collar has a subtle chevron finish to replicate the pattern used on the chest of United shirts as far back as the early 20th Century, and again in recent times.

The button hidden in the collar is unique to the shirt – it's red with a black trim and engraved with the club name.

Inside the back of the neck is a small label with the message: "Youth, Courage, Greatness." The words represent the club’s values.

On the back of the shirt below the neck is a black devil from the club crest, and across the back is a series of chevrons in engineered mesh to emphasise the importance of the shape to United.

The new home kit will be available to pre-order from July 7, and to purchase in stores and from Nike.com from July 16.
