The United dad who was watching in 2008 and still brings it up
What it is
A reproduction of the 2007/08 United home shirt with number 7 on the back. Fan cut, S to 2XL. The name and number are part of the shirt rather than an add-on.
Why we picked it
This is the better gift than any current shirt, and the reason is simple: a kit from a season he actually watched keeps its meaning for thirty years, while this year’s is visibly last year’s by next August. 2007/08 was the Champions League season, so for a United dad in his forties this is a specific memory rather than a garment. Ships from overseas with no published Australian transit time, so order it early.
