Sportswear giants adidas have linked up with Manchester-born streetwear brand Drama Call to deliver a nostalgic Manchester United collection inspired by the club’s 1991 Cup Winners’ Cup triumph.
The centrepiece of the drop is a reimagined version of the ’91 final shirt – a design forever etched into United history.
This updated take arrives in a long-sleeved white base with red Three Stripes, the adidas Trefoil, and the club crest, while Drama Call apply their own twist through a stylised star logo. It features on the sleeve in place of a competition badge, on the collars and cuffs, and as a faint oversized motif across the front.
Beyond the shirt, the collection expands into lifestyle territory. Half-zip tracksuits, hoodies, tees, caps and even a football all carry the same mix of adidas heritage, United identity and Drama Call’s bold graphics.
The fusion of club tradition with streetwear sensibility creates a capsule that feels equally at home on the terraces and the high street.
United players themselves showed off the new gear as they arrived at Old Trafford before their 3-2 win over Burnley, giving the collection its first public run-out.
And while it was Mark Hughes who proved the hero in the 1991 final against Barcelona with both goals in a 2-1 victory, it was Bruno Fernandes who stepped up against Burnley – tucking away an injury-time penalty to secure another dramatic United win.
Whether in Europe more than three decades ago or in the Premier League today, the shirt seems to carry a touch of luck. Maybe United ought to start wearing it more often.
