Sheffield United’s best and worst Adidas shirts ranked as Blades prepare for change in kit maker
As we revealed earlier this season, Bramall Lane officials are keen to complete a deal covering all clubs in the United World network, including United, Beerschot in Belgium and clubs in France, India and Dubai.
Adidas have produced a number of home and away shirts for United since they started working together, as well as third kits for when their normal red and white stripes and away shirts would cause the kits to clash.
Should Will the Blades stars be higher on the prestigious EFL Top 50 list?
But which of their efforts have been the best, and which are best forgotten and consigned to history? We’ve tasked our man Danny Hall with reviewing all of United’s Adidas kits and ranking them from worst to best.
Quite an iconic shirt considering United were promoted there that season, but the design is terrible. A jarring green sponsor and worst of all, plain white sleeves and back. United play in red and white, not the other way around

A possible nod to the colors of the Teletext Holidays company – otherwise, who came up with the idea for a purple away shirt? With some fans insisting he was blue, he was quietly sidelined on the pitch

Plain and bright green kits had a decent history, but this one missed the mark as often as some of the players who wore it

Adidas’ first United effort, it was a welcome change from the Macron era, but instead of stripes, United received red and white boxes on the front of the shirts. At least he didn’t have a plain back
