Man United don't really do secrets anymore, do they?
This summer alone, you had Jose Mourinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan all long presumed to be heading to Old Trafford before someone in United's ranks realised they hadn't actually been officially announced.
It's been like that with their jersey. There have been so many leaks of this jersey, from premature shops, FIFA blunders, accidental player instagrams, accidental sponsor pictures. So everyone knew that the kit was going to look like this, see our post from December 2015 (edited in January):
So they wait a full seven months later to officially unveil the jersey this morning - and it turns out it looks exactly like the leaked kit everyone has been showing.
But, like the batshit crazy release video of last season (do you remember that running through the walls bizarreness?) - Adidas and United have produced a video that will make you question everything. Most especially the words coming out of your mouth afterwards will be
What the hell did I just watch?
Here's just some of the stills from the video:
At the same time, those bizarre pictures don't capture the insanity of the video. Don't believe me? See for yourself (via adidasUK twitter):

Told you.
Aside from that, it's actually quite a nice kit. But I'm in no frame of mind to be thinking about that after this video.
