Manchester United kit maker Adidas has been forced to defend its controversial new shirt designed specifically for female fans of the Premier League club, reportedly.
Adidas unveiled the first United kit of its £750 million deal with the Old Trafford team last week.
But the German sportswear giant was criticised for the design of the women’s shirt, which had a much lower neckline than the men’s version, claimed sources.
One United fan, @MUnitedGirl, posted on Twitter: “Seriously Adidas? Why is the V-neck so low compared with the men’s one? Some of us don’t like to show cleavage.
“I call that discrimination. Nike never did that.”
Responding to the criticism, Adidas said it took the thoughts of fans into account before producing the kit.
