On Sunday 10th February 2008, Manchester United played Manchester City in a premiership derby match at Old Trafford. It was the closest fixture to February 6th - 50 years since the Busby Babes Munich Air Disaster. To mark the occasion, United wore a replica kit similar to one the Busby Babes wore (a 1950's design). The AIG, Nike and United badge were all removed. Manchester City wore their normal kit although their sponsor was removed from the shirt. Although the kit looked classy on the likes of Ronaldo, sadly it didn't bring the Reds much luck as they went on to lose the game 2-1. In addition to the change of kit, a red and white scarf was given to every home supporter to wear on the day (and blue and white for City fans). (This kit was never available to buy and was a one-off to mark the 50th Anniversary).

Released for just one season, Manchester United and Nike have produced a basic red home shirt. There's been little imagination used when designing this one. It's plain red, very little white and the badge looks like it has been stitched on at the very end and is also a similar size to the Nike logo. The AIG sponsorship logo dominates the top. At the bottom side of the shirt, there's another sew on patch which reads, 'The Red Devils'. On the back of the shirt is a white line at the top and at the bottom. It's a shirt you'll probably love or hate. It is available in all sizes and in long sleeve. Nike has also released a woman's top in a similar design. (Launch date August 1st 2007. Expires July 2008).

The new goalkeeper home shirt is blue rather than the traditional green. Very similar to the outfield players' red top, however, the goalkeeper top has the extra feature of a white rim over the shoulders which gives the shirt more chartacter than the red jersey. This goalkeeper top is available in all sizes and comes in long sleeve only. There are matching blue shorts and socks to complete the kit. (Launch date August 1st 2007. Expires July 2008).

Released for just one season, Manchester United and Nike have produced a basic black away shirt. It has more character than the home shirt as this black top has a trim running over the shoulders, the neck and the bottom of the sleeves. However, just like the red kit, the AIG sponsorship logo dominates the shirt. At the bottom side of the shirt, there's a sew on patch which reads, 'The Red Devils'. On the back of the shirt is a red line at the top and at the bottom. It is available in all sizes. (Launch date September 13th 2007. Expires September 2008).
