First look at Sheffield United's new away kit - When fans can buy it
This is the away kit Sheffield United will wear throughout the 2022/23 season, with the new strip making its debut at Middlesbrough this weekend.
Manufactured by new kit supplier Errea, the white shirt features a red central stripe with a black pinstripe and evokes memories of the shirt worn by Alex Sabella and Co. in the late 1970s, and the iconic ‘sash’ jersey donned by Tony Currie and Alan Woodward.
United, who face Chris Wilder’s Boro on Sunday, teamed up with the Italian brand over the summer and unveiled their new home and goalkeeper shirts earlier this month.
Paul Heckingbottom’s men have worn that red and white effort so far this season, but Sunday’s trip to Middlesbrough will necessitate the use of their new away kit.
United are also releasing a third kit later in the season, to be worn when both their home and away shirts clash with their opponents’ kit.
The shirt is available to pre-order now in adult and junior sizes from United’s online store, with delivery expected by mid/late September.
A club statement on the release of the shirt read: “The shirt will celebrate the past and takes inspiration from the Blades era of the 70’s and the iconic white away kits that were worn by some of our most memorable players such as Alex Sabella and Alan Woodward.
"The bespoke away kit will again benefit from the highly technical and performing fabric; Ti-energy nanotechnology.”
The shirt will also feature the Ultimate Champions branding also seen on the home kit, on the reverse.
