Gone Are the Tablecloths: New Manchester United Kits for '13-'14

United fans and kit nerds rejoice!  The tablecloth/tea towel kits of yesteryear are now officially history!  Nike has unveiled the new kit for the Barclay's Premier League Champions, and the picnic checkerboard is nowhere to be found.  Of course, United won the title last year, so talk smack about the kit all you want, I guess.  They got the last laugh.  Here's the new offering:

I like it, personally.  It's more of a classy look.  I'm also a fan of collars on kits, though the collar on this one is of the small variety.  It also features the buttons in front, which I like as well.  Nike will also continue it's commitment to using environmentally friendly kits with this shirt, as it will again be made from recycled polyester and plastic bottle material.  According to Nike, the kit is also 23% lighter than previous editions.

So what do you guys think?  I like it.  Of course, they'll have the EPL champion patches on the sleeves. As I said, I like the more classic kit look with collar, so it's a plus for me.  If you really dig it, you can order up at World Soccer Shop.
