Manchester United and adidas have revealed their all-new Stone Roses collection, combining the city's love for music, fashion and football.
The collection includes both lifestyle wear, including t-shirts, scarves and bucket hats, as well as training gear, with the highlight being a Manchester United x Stone Roses Originals Icon Jersey, which pays tribute to The Stone Roses' self-titled debut album released back in 1989.
Fans will get a closer look at the pre-match collection this weekend when both the men's and women's teams will take to the field to warm up for the Premier League clash with Aston Villa and the Women's FA Cup meeting with Southampton.
"The Stone Roses' music is the soundtrack for fans who remember the famous class of '92," said Inigo Turner, design director at adidas.
"This collection celebrates the beautiful fusion of football and musical culture that both the team and the band represented."
