The 1998/99 Manchester United black kit was a third kit designed by Umbro and sponsored by Sharp. Predominantly black with subtle tonal patterns and red-and-white accents on the collar and sleeves, it was paired with black shorts and socks. Key players such as Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Roy Keane, and Dwight Yorke wore this kit in European away matches and domestic games where both the home (red) and away (white) shirts would clash. Its sleek, bold design made it a stylish alternative during United’s historic treble-winning season, ensuring the team could maintain a distinct and professional look in all fixtures.
