In 1998, Manchester United released a brand new home shirt which would go down in history as part of the strip United wore on the way to their famous treble winning season of 1999. The shirt was the last design in Sharp’s sponsorship deal but what a way for them to bow out.

As usual for United, the shirt was predominately red and containing a white typeface. The sponsor was placed in the centre of the shirt whilst the manufacturer (Umbro) and the club crest was in the top left and right of the shirt respectively. A major difference from the previous shirt was the black Umbro strip which runs down the shoulders and arms whilst the collar stayed as a white polo neck with a hint of red and black. Uniquely, the collar also contained a zip which is fairly rare on football shirts. All in all, the shirt ran through to 2000 before a new design was made from new sponsors Vodaphone.
