adidas and Manchester United pay homage to George Best with a new lifestyle collection.
The retro collection is a nod to one of the best to ever do it for United – and the world of fashion – throwing it back to the Northern Ireland star’s heyday with ‘60s-inspired classics.
A fashion-forward tracksuit arrives in royal blue, with the Manchester coat of arms identical to the one on the kits the Red Devils wore when they lifted the European Cup in 1968.
The tracksuit pairs perfectly with a vintage-style, long-sleeve jersey – a near replica to the 67/68 kit. Coloured the same shade of blue as the trackie, the coat of arms sits opposite the adidas trefoil. On the back, Bestie’s no.7 is stitched in white.
On the sleeves of both the tracksuit and the kit, ‘George Best’ is written in a curving script as the finishing touch on the capsule.
The collection is available to purchase now on the adidas website, Manchester United’s online store and select retailers.
