Amongst two of the main brands that I love most - is of course, Manchester United... and then, there's also Ferrari. I love Manchester United because... there is no reason to hate them. I've been supporting them since early 1990s, and then turned to become a hardcore die-hard Manchester United fan back in 1994/95 season, yes, the season that we lost the Premiership on the last day, and lost to Everton in the FA Cup final.
Since 1995 when I had my first Manchester United jersey, I've lost count of the number of Man Utd jerseys that I've collected over the years. Most of my jerseys have numbers/names on them - including Beckham (7), Rooney (8), Rooney (10), Ferdinand (6), Giggs (11), Kanchelskis (14), Cantona (7), Ronaldo (7), Scholes (18) and probably a few others too. One regret that I had - was NOT getting the European kit - for the 1998/1999 - the treble winning year.
I had been helping various brands market - ahahaha including SHARP, VODAFONE and also AIG. For this coming season, Manchester United have announced a new sponsor though. Starting from the 2010/2011 season, United will have the names of AON on their shirt - AON is the world's leading risk advisor and human capital consultant.
For them to sponsor United - it means that United is rather risk-free. (obviously they wont be sponsoring Liverpool right??? Too much risk...)
United unveiled their home kit - the red version in Chicago last month. I'm taking a much longer time to like the kit so far - I mean, the red has not been my favourite red so far - unfortunately.... Its kinda dull. Maybe later... not so soon lah right? hehe... Hence, I'm eying their away kit...
John O'Shea wearing the away kit - I think its quite impressive... isnt it?
I think I've somewhat made up my mind. For the 2010/2011 season, looks like I'll be getting the away kit before I get the home kit. Hehehe. After all, I like this design better!!! =)
Okay lah - enough about this randomness. Before I end this post, let me show you a little series of videos that I managed to join them together - turn on the volume loud ok. Listen to the blistering and thundering sounds of an awesome 4.3litre v8 engine...
