Newton Heath, Manchester United’s predecessor club, used to wear a white shirt with a slim sash and also the famous green / golden kit, but ever since the name change in 1902 the Red Devils play their home games in a predominantly red jersey with white shorts and black socks. However, there was one exception during the 1920s when the Red Devils sported a white shirt with a red chevron on the chest, just as in the 1909 FA Cup final against Bristol City.
