Jerseyman's Review: 2010-2011 Manchester United Away Kit (Shirt+Shorts+Socks)

Yesterday, I was very surprised to find a UPS card inside my postbox.

It seems that the UPS delivery man came today and at first I couldn't remember what I bought... until suddenly I remember.. could it be my pre-ordered Man United away kit? I was surprised because I didn't received any email notification from kitbag (normally they will send an email to notify me that my order was delivered on a certain date).. When I checked my kitbag account, yup.. I was correct. It seems that kitbag has shipped my order on 13th Sept 2010 and it arrived on the 15th Sept 2010. By the way, I pre-ordered the away kit back in August (26th August 2010).

So last night I drove to UPS's warehouse at Jalan Tandang, PJ and self collected my parcel at 8.30pm. Mind you, if you received a UPS card in your mailbox indicating that there was a parcel and unsuccessful delivery, you can go to the HQ at Jalan Tandang and collect it after 7.30pm.

Here's my parcel:



Inside the UPS parcel:



Let's review the new away kit:

1. The Shirt


I think everyone was already aware how the new away kit will look like. No surprises here. It is almost identical to the home shirt except that is has no collars and the lightning pattern on the sleeves. Material wise, you name it..it is the same. The same front layer (bricklayered material with inner bumps or pimples) and back layer (plain material with the 'transformers' looking mesh material). Even the length as well is the same like the home kit. Longer length from top to bottom compared to last season's kit. And by the way, it's also Made in Indonesia as well...

2. The Shorts

The shorts is an exact match as to the home shorts and also both goalkeeper home and away shorts (the goalkeeper kits review will be coming soon.. need to complete them with matching socks first which is tricky). Except that on the home and away shorts, there is the red devil logo, the goalkeeper shorts doesn't. More on that later next time hihihi.. patience is virtue.

When I look at the shorts.. a DIY idea springs in my mind... more on that next time... suspense! You've read it here..

3. The Socks



One thing that I was surprised is that for the first time.. the Nike socks is Made in Thailand... Normally it's Made in Greece:



Here is a photo of a complete Man United Away Kit that I purchased:


a. What Jerseyman Likes:
Same material like the home shirt..
BELIEVE
New shirt sponsors (no more squarey thingy shaped AIG logo)
No complicated issues on how to apply the EPL patches on the sleeves

To be continued..

Continued..

b. What Jerseyman Dislikes:
The design is a bit of a let down.. It looks like a training shirt.. but that's normal.. at first it looks ugly but later when United wins something wearing this.. it looks awesome. Trust me.
The collars... round neck. I prefer the one like on the home shirt
The black and red design on the sleeves. Will be a nightmare for me to iron (to avoid colour bleeding and ruining the sleeves)


Jerseyman Ratings (Out of 5 stars)

1. The Shirt:
Design: (Jerseyman is not so happy with the design.. It looks like a training shirt.. and the collars)
Material: (Just like the home kit.. DRI-FIT with bricklayered material... bumpy inside)
Cutting: (Not much difference to the home kit.. the same longer length but some won't like it)
Comfortness: (Luckily the round neck is not a full round neck, hence no issues on the neck)
Overall:

2. The Shorts:
(Simple design. The PU stripe is not as thick as the one on the shirt's sleeves. Just like the home shorts and the goalkeeper shorts.. oppss..)

3. The Socks:
(Design is a bit unique but nice to see all 3 colours on the socks)

Wow... You got the away shirt already? My pre-order was shipped by kitbag on 14th. Since I've chosen standard delivery, i will only get it in 1-2 weeks.

BTW, nice review as always. Too bad that we can't have UCL printing on this shirt...

The Chelsea asia megastore is selling the UCL Starball and the RESPECT badges this season

http://www.chelseamegastoreasia.com/en/adi.../prod_2174.html

I don't see the point really if the price after conversion is RM180 per RESPECT badge.

For the accurate price of the badge is RM156.9 Hahaha

At least, you no need have to find and apply the respect badge by yourselves It also can avoid some seller sell it with more higher price to make their own profit (although official store also quite expensive but i thinks that it is better than buy from another ways, no worry about the condition, surely not a fake product )

bro
mind if i ask?
where do you get the liverpool white formotion jersey?

salute you man.
that took alot of effort and money
but yeah, looks nice
I'm a Man Utd fan but Torres is my fav liverpool player.

Added on September 16, 2010, 11:00 pmGuys, I've seen alot ppl having the S.Africa patch on their world cup jersey.
If I'm not mistaken, I've asked R1 before, they said it wasn't for sale as they were not available for public.
So I want to ask, after World cup, did they start selling them to the public ?
Thanks

nope. the ones u see are most probably 99% clone version.

yup, none sold officially at all. 99.99% fake / DIY.

FYI most of the fake WC kits come pre-applied with the patch. sigh

I wanted to buy the official Calcio badge to put on my Inter 2007-08 shirt, do you guys know which material the patch is made?

And anybody ever bought any badges with an ebay seller called homeofbadges? Does he sells official items?

Thank you

Limited Edition! But i don't think I will buy it.

Hi guys, selling my Holland 2010 away Player Issue jersey here. S size.
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1564487

if anyone would want the Respect patch alone, can pm me. I can get 1 for S$45, Official. Or with the UCL Starball 2008-11 at S$80



bro, maybe can say 99.99%. Not matter how hard these clone try, they still can't replicate the official ones at all.

Nice seeing u sell the respect badges iswandi. Football madness at tamp 1 claims that those sold online are all replicas...rolls eyes. Madness.

out there as in where...? if you referring to mine here, they are the real deal so no worries. Stick around here long enough and you would know the real and the not plus those who are pretenders and those who are in this hobby for the long run.

and if you have spoken to that fella from that shop you mentioned, he knows crap. Many people can vouch for that. Other member mentioned before about groundless comments coming from him regarding many stuff. Or is he the supplier you guys keep mentioning here always...

out there = online (according to him)
yup I'm sure yours are authentic.
Agreed that guy knows crap.
And no, I dont get my stuffs from him.
