adidas and United launch new Stone Roses collection
In a partnership built from passion, we proudly present the Manchester United x adidas x Stone Roses collection. It’s a fusion of football, fashion, and music inspired by the iconic and legendary 'Madchester' era.
At the heart of the collection is the Manchester United x Stone Roses Originals Icon Jersey, a tribute to the cover of The Stone Roses' self-titled debut album, released in 1989.
The bold and unmistakable design, crafted by guitarist John Squire, adorns the jersey with the red, white, and blue adidas three stripes on the sleeves and the golden lettering of 'The Stone Roses' inside the collar.
The Manchester United crest is creatively adapted, featuring the words 'This is the One' and two lemon slices replacing footballs on either side. The signature adidas trefoil in red completes the look.
You can order your Stone Roses jersey here.

It's a range that allows fans to showcase their passion for both music and football beyond the pitch.

James Holroyd, Chief Commercial Development Officer at Manchester United, highlighted the deep connection between The Stone Roses and the club's fan culture. He commented: "This collection recognises our joint histories in a way that connects with both older fans and the new generation of supporters."
To mark the launch, current players from both the men's and women's teams participated in an iconic photo shoot, paying homage to legendary portraits of The Stone Roses. A short film, 'Roses are Red', features players, legends, and fans showcasing the collection and highlighting what the anthem means to them, with appearances by Gary Neville, Wes Brown, and Liam Fray. You can watch the film above.
In celebration of Manchester's rich musical heritage, adidas and United are also collaborating with NTS for a live radio broadcast from the club's dressing room on 20 February. Keep an eye on our channels for more information.
