The 2005/06 Manchester United blue kit was the third kit designed by Nike and sponsored by Vodafone. The shirt was predominantly royal blue with subtle tonal panels and thin red piping on the collar and sleeves, paired with matching blue shorts and socks. Key players such as Wayne Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Paul Scholes, and Ryan Giggs wore it in domestic cup matches and European away fixtures where both red and white clashed. This bold blue kit provided a modern, stylish alternative to the traditional home and away shirts, combining functionality with a striking visual design during United’s Premier League campaign.
