Sharp, Umbro and the zip-collar United shirt

Ask anyone who walks into the Oakville store which shirt they want to find, and a 90s Manchester United home kit comes up more than any other. Red body, Umbro diamonds on the sleeves, SHARP across the chest and that zip or lace-up collar.

Why it still sells

It sits right at the point where football shirts stopped being plain training wear and started being fashion. The cut is roomier than modern kits, which is exactly why it works with jeans and a jacket today.

What to look for

Check the Umbro neck label and the inner wash tag first. Sponsor print should be crisp and even, and the crest should be embroidered or a cleanly applied woven badge depending on the season. If you are unsure, our Authenticity Guarantee page walks through every check.
