Two Sides of a Century
The Concept: One Shirt, Two Histories
Released to mark the centenary of Old Trafford (1901–2001), this reversible shirt was like nothing United had done before.
- On one side: crisp white, finished with elegant gold and black detailing — a clean, classy tribute to legacy and longevity.
- Flip it, and you reveal a bold gold base with black accents, exuding a modern confidence while still honoring the past.
Both sides featured the Vodafone sponsor and club crest, and both were fully wearable — not just a novelty. This was innovation, rooted in heritage.
The Era: United in Evolution
The 2001/2002 season saw United reloading. The treble-winning squad had evolved — with Ruud van Nistelrooy making his mark, Beckham and Scholes still in their prime, and Sir Alex Ferguson navigating a fiercely competitive Premier League.
While this shirt wasn’t worn during official matches, it was seen in training sessions, warm-ups, and fan events. It became an off-pitch icon — instantly recognisable and quietly coveted by collectors.
The Design: Rare, Reversible, and Radiant
- ⚪ White side: Sophisticated. Gold trim, subtle black accents, and a minimal aesthetic that feels more like high-end streetwear than kit.
- 🟡 Gold side: Confident. Strong black detailing on the sleeves and shoulders, giving off real early-2000s energy.
Umbro pulled off something few brands have: a reversible shirt that actually works on both sides. Clean stitching, no compromises in quality, and attention to detail throughout.
Why This Shirt Matters
- 🏟️ Celebrates 100 years at Old Trafford — a true club milestone
- 🔁 Reversible design — two wearable shirts in one
- 📅 Part of a transitional era with major club icons still on the pitch
- 🎯 Unique look: white & gold vs. gold & black
- 📈 Increasingly rare, often faked — authentic pieces are highly sought-after
It’s not just a shirt. It’s a double-sided tribute to one of football’s greatest institutions.
Final Whistle
Most shirts tell a story.
This one tells two — at the same time.
Whether you wear it white side out or gold shining forward, the 100th Anniversary Reversible Jersey is more than a collector’s piece.
It’s a celebration of identity, invention, and 100 years of the Theatre of Dreams.
You don’t celebrate 100 years at Old Trafford with just any shirt.
You design something bold. Unexpected. Collectible. And most of all — meaningful.
Enter the Manchester United 2001/2002 100th Anniversary Reversible Jersey — a kit that flips tradition on its head. Literally.
