Reasons Revealed: Man Utd to Wear Special Kit against Westham
MANCHESTER UNITED will not wear their usual home kit against West Ham at Old Trafford.The Red Devils host the Hammers in the Premier League on Sunday in the battle to avoid finishing 17th.
But United’s red home shirt is being changed for the match.Rather than the logo of sponsors Snapdragon on the front of the jersey, the symbol for (Red) will feature instead.
The special edition changed tops will also be used for Manchester United Women’s WSL clash with Arsenal on Saturday.
The one-off shirts from the matches will then be sold off on online auction site MatchWornShirt to raise funds, with net proceeds going to (Red)’s campaign against health injustice.
The agreement for the one-off edit is part of Qualcomm Technologies’ £60million-a-year deal with United.(Red) is a charity that tackles health inequality and provides life-saving programmes in vulnerable communities.It was set up by Bono and Bobby Shriver in 2006 to help fight Aids.
The organisation has teamed up with a host of major global brands including Apple, Beats, Nike, AmEx, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Louis Vuitton, Panasonic, Fiat and more.
