The Manchester United x The Stone Roses Collection Has Landed

Are you a fan of the ‘Madchester’ music scene and Manchester United? If so, this is the one.

After leaks and much excitement around the football community, the Manchester United x The Stone Roses collection has finally arrived, bringing together football and fashion in a way that pays homage to the iconic band and the energy of the era.

As discussed in our recent piece on the legacy of The Stone Roses and their connection to Manchester United, the band's debut album was nothing short of extraordinary. Widely regarded as one of the best British albums ever made, it stands as a testament to the youthful creativity and attitude of its time. This adidas lifestyle collection perfectly complements one of the greatest football clubs Britain, and the world, has ever seen.

Inspired by the iconic artwork of The Stone Roses' self-titled 1989 album, this collection is packed with vibrancy and fun, transporting us back to the youth, creativity, attitude, and exploding music culture scene in Manchester in the 80s and 90s. From The Smiths to New Order, Joy Division to Oasis, alongside The Stone Roses, these bands are revered as some of the greatest of all time. However, The Stone Roses' connection to football runs even deeper.

Since the early 2000s, the Old Trafford faithful have belted out ‘This Is The One’ as the team walks out onto the pitch to face their opponents. This anthem has undoubtedly resonated with fans and players alike, igniting the atmosphere and setting the stage for some of the most memorable moments in Premier League history. The Theatre of Dreams has seen it all.

Whether you're looking to rock the jersey during training sessions or on the streets, or seeking something warmer like a jacket, this collection has something for everyone. From scarves to the iconic bucket hat, it offers one of the widest lifestyle ranges we've ever had at Ultra Football.

“For many fans that remember watching the famous class of ‘92, The Stone Roses music is probably the soundtrack playing in their heads. Both the team and the band represented global youth movements that had Manchester at their heart. We’re excited to celebrate that relationship through this collection, which represents the beautiful fusion of Northern England football and musical culture.” - Inigo Turner, Design Director at adidas.

Those with an eye for detail will notice some really cool features in this collection - notably, the reworked Manchester United club logo, which features The Stone Roses' lemons and 'This Is The One'. It's very cool that the club allowed this, and a sign of how important the club views the local music scene to its DNA.

With so many items on offer we're keen to hear what you like best. Let us know over on our socials. We're sure that both Manchester United enthusiasts and music fans alike will discover something they adore within this collection. Too be honest, we're struggling to resist adding everything to our own carts!

“The Stone Roses is a band that is deeply knitted into the unique Manchester United fan culture both locally and globally. This collection is the perfect way to recognise our joint histories in a way that connects with both older fans and the new generation of supporters.” - James Holroyd, Chief Commercial Development Officer, Manchester United.

Fans will get a first glimpse of the collection on pitch when it is worn by the Manchester United men’s team players before they face Aston Villa away on February 10^th , and by the women’s team away at Southampton on February 11^th.

A very special shoutout to Melbourne's local band, The Velvet Club, who have close ties to Ultra Football and are fans of The Stone Roses, for their involvement in the shoot. This collaboration was made possible with Flatpack Studios at Bakehouse Studios.
