Manchester United's third jersey for the 2017-18 season has been 'revealed' by the website footyheadlines.com and fans of the Red Devils will undoubtedly be delighted with how it has turned out.
Back in August, United announced that fans would be able to design the club's third kit, with votes being collected on the most popular concepts and a panel deciding the winner. United said that it would offer fans the chance to have "epic deeds...great goals, classic matches" and "historic moments" achieved by United players in a shirt that they designed.
And the shirt design commemorates three men for whom "epic deeds" became the norm in a United jersey.
The 'United Trinity' is a statue situated right in front of Old Trafford and features George Best, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton, three of the best players in the club's history and 1968 European Cup winners.

And the new kit commemorates that statue - and the three men - in fine detail, the shirt initially not appearing remarkable but upon closer inspection showing the trio etched into the cloth.

Man United third kit for 2017-18
Not too shabby. The fact that the fans came up with the kit idea and formulated such a commemorative design just shows how important the club's history is to United supporters.
