Homage to the famous 1990–92 away shirt

A bold blue-and-white geometric design that became a fan favourite and a symbol of United’s early ’90s resurgence under Sir Alex Ferguson. The original “snowflake” kit was worn during a formative period when United won the 1991 European Cup Winners’ Cup, their first under Ferguson, and the 1992 League Cup. Worn by legends such as Bryan Robson, Steve Bruce and Denis Irwin. Instantly recognizable for its striking pattern and Sharp sponsorship.

Inspiring new generations

The influence of the iconic 1990–92 snowflake shirt lives on, with adidas repeatedly paying tribute through modern kits. A notable example is the 2017–18 away kit, where the original design was reimagined on a sleek black backdrop with the classic adidas three stripes, club badge, and adidas logo all featured in a crisp white finish.

Ongoing influence

Further iterations include the 2020 Humanrace collection designed in collaboration with Pharrell Williams, as well as a direct reinterpretation of the 2021–22 away shirt. Each of these tributes underscores the enduring legacy of the 1990–92 design, cementing its place in the club’s identity and in football fashion history.
