Manchester United's new away kit for the 2009/10 campaign has been officially unveiled..
Like the club's new red and white home strip, the black kit, which can be pre-ordered online now, features a special commemorative tag at the side of the shirt and large chevron across the chest, reflecting the design of the shirts worn by United when the team won its first FA Cup in 1909.

The black shorts have a blue stripe along the side, a red devil graphic on the back of the waist band, while the draw cords feature 'MUFC' on the tips. The black socks have a blue chevron on the calf.
The Reds will don the kit for the first time during Thursday's Audi Cup match in Germany against either AC Milan or Bayern Munich. And Patrice Evra says the players are all looking forward to running out in their new attire.
"It’s a privilege to play for this club and whenever you put the kit on you know you need to give your best and show respect for the shirt," he told the clubs webstite.
"History is very important at United and it’s a great idea to base the kits on that. I just hope we can be successful in them."
Team-mate Ji-sung Park agreed, adding: "I particularly like the away kit - the black and blue colours are quite army-like. Hopefully we can be like soldiers on the pitch and win every game."
The new away kit will be on sale at outlets including Old Trafford's Megastore, and online at store.manutd.com, from Thursday 13 August. In the meantime, you can pre-order it online.
Thanks to Andrew.
