The 1986–1988 Manchester United home kit was a classic bright red shirt with a simple design, reflecting the minimalist style of the era. It featured a fold-over collar with white trim and button detail, giving it a traditional look. The Sharp logo appeared in white across the chest, making it stand out against the red. The kit was paired with white shorts and black socks with red and white hoops. This period was part of a transitional phase for United, and the kit is remembered for its timeless, straightforward design that emphasized the club’s iconic red and white colors.
