Update: Adidas officially unveils the special Manchester United 2026 “Chinese Lucky Knot” collection, celebrating Lunar New Year while incorporating profound Eastern cultural symbolism.
Manchester United 2026 Chinese Lucky Knot Collection
The new Adidas Manchester United 2026 Chinese Lucky Knot collection does not take inspiration from the horse (the dominant animal of the 2026 Lunar year). Instead, it centers on the "lucky knot" or Chinese knot - a classic decoration symbolizing luck, happiness, and prosperity.
This pattern is subtly integrated throughout the items, serving as the visual anchor of the range.
The primary color palette is red and black, signature to Manchester United, with gold applied to the logos and details. Gold is a traditional festival color representing wealth, perfectly matching the celebratory theme.
The collection includes four main pieces:
- Jersey (T-shirt): A vibrant red shirt featuring a large, stylized luck knot pattern across the shoulders and back.
- Hoodie: A clean black design with gold club and festival crests, plus luck knot details on the sleeve.
- Reversible Jacket: Reversible jacket with different designs on each side.
- Pants: Black lifestyle pants that match the hoodie, adorned with gold patterns down the leg.
Reversible Jacket: The Standout Piece
The crown jewel of the collection is the reversible jacket, offering two distinct looks:
- Outer Side: Primarily black with gold accents, featuring the standard Manchester United crest.
- Inner Side: Primarily red with gold accents, prominently displaying the Red Devil crest and a lucky knot pattern across the chest.
