Derby kit unveiled

The special retro kit to be worn by United for Sunday's Manchester derby has been unveiled.

The strip, which has been specially designed without kit manufacturer or sponsorship logos, is based on the kit worn by the Busby Babes in the 1950s - in recognition of this week's 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster.

Also abandoned are modern squad numbers, with United's 16-man squad set to don numbers 1 through 16 on Sunday after gaining special dispensation from the Premier League.

Chief executive David Gill said: "The sincere thanks of the Club go to AIG and Nike for their wholehearted backing for the kit change, and to the Premier League for allowing us to mark the event in a unique way."

Like United, opponents Manchester City will don a retro strip, free of sponsorship, especially for Sunday's match. A black ribbon motif, bearing the words ‘Manchester Remembers,’ has also been incorporated as a mark of respect.

Both teams will also observe a minute's silence before kick-off, while every fan present will receive a special memento of the occasion.

this is a really cool way to remember of those who lost their lives in the disaster.
 
HAH that jersey looks fckin' awesome.

devils to beat the sky blues by a solitary goal, but will dominate possession and shots-on-target
 
I don't think they will sell the kit unless they want to make a huge profit out of it. Come on you Reds! We'll never die!

SPECIAL OFFER - Out of the Box

Villa v Newcastle - Back any player to Score in 90 mins and if they get a goal from outside the penalty area, we'll payout at double the odds

The Portugal winger scored six goals in the Premier League last month including his first league hat-trick and hit a stunning free-kick against Portsmouth.

It has taken him to the top of the league scoring charts with 19 goals so far this season and earned him his third award.

Ferguson earned his latest prize, and his 20th managerial gong in total, by leading the Red Devils to victory in all four league games without conceding a goal.
