The Manchester United memorial home shirt was unveiled in February 2008 for a one off appearance in a Premier League match against Manchester City. The match took place on the 10th February 2008 at Old Trafford and saw Manchester City run out 2-1 winners with goals from Darius Vassell and Benjani before Michael Carrick scored a consolation in injury time.
The kit is based on the strip worn by the Busby Babes in the 1950′s and recognised the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster. Manchester United held talks with Nike about producing a one off retro kit without any sponsorship or manufacturer logos for the Manchester Derby. Following special dispensation from the Premier League, Manchester United were given the go ahead to wear the kit that saw United’s 16 man squad don numbers 1-16.
