The History of Manchester United Soccer Jerseys started with green and gold halves when they played under the name of Newton Heath. In the early 1990's, these hues were resurrected as an away uniform. There is a red and white quartered uniform and a plain white uniform, both paired with blue shorts when Newton Heath played. The name change to Manchester United in 1902 and the kit became red jersey, white shorts and black socks as the same as the latest jersey. The team wore a white jersey with a red V band against Bristol City in the 1909 FA Cup Final that was revived momentarily in the 1920's.
