Manchester United’s away kit for the upcoming 2025/26 season has reportedly leaked online, months before its official release.
An image has surfaced online, showing the stunning new away kit, which has already reportedly been locked in.
According to Footy Headlines, the new away strip is white and light lavender, combined with dark purple accents (Dark Plum).
It will feature a fresh take on the club’s classic ‘snowflake’ shirt design.
They add, “The kit has an overlapping v-collar, uses the devil logo instead of the full Manchester United crest, and includes dark purple shorts.”
“The Adidas Man United 2025-2026 away football shirt will be available in July 2025, and a recreated version is available in EAFC 25 through a mod.”
In terms of design, next season’s away kit heavily borrows from United’s iconic 1990/92 away shirt, which featured the popular ‘snowflake’ pattern for the first time in the club’s history.
It looks set to be the first white United away kit since the 2022/23 season, when Erik ten Hag guided the Red Devils to League Cup glory against Newcastle United, as well as a third-place finish in the Premier League and a runners-up spot in the FA Cup.
As Footy Headlines note, the ‘snowflake’ design was also used in the 2015/16 third kit and the 2017/18 away kit.
Here’s a first look at the away kit in the latest batch of leaked images.
