MANCHESTER UNITED have produced some iconic kits over their 143-year history including their Class of 92 inspired away gear released this season.
But their new third strip seems to have prompted some unflattering comparisons to the colour scheme of Northern Rail train seats.
The new shirt features a dark blue 'M'ingrained pattern along with a yellow version of the famous three-stripe emblem synonymous with their kit suppliers Adidas.
And their sponsor TeamViewer can be seen in bright yellow.
The strip which the club describes as “game-changing” has been plugged heavily in a promotional video featuring legendary former boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
The promo also includes appearances from Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford as well team gaffer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Despite the enthusiasm of some of the club’s biggest names, some fans are entirely sure about the choice of colours for the strip.

And a few Red Devils fans and football followers have taken to social media to share their thoughts.
One Twitter account user questioned if the 13-time Prem champions’colour choice had been influenced by the tones of Northern Rail’s carriage seats.
And comedian Bob Mortimer mockingly compared the strip to the apparel seen at a building supplies warehouse.
However, the Middlesbrough fan, whose comment was liked more than 3,000 times on Twitter, also revealed he admired the look of the kit.
United, who wore the strip in their 1-1 draw with Southampton, have enjoyed a storming start to their season.
The team, who sealed a £107million summer swoop for Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane, trounced Leeds 5-1 in their opening game.
And Mason Greenwood's strike saw the Old Trafford giants snatch a point at St Mary's with the United ace cancelling out an own-goal scored by Fred.
The club, who are currently fourth in the table, will face Wolves away in their next top-flight fixture.
