Dundee United fans are having their say on social media after the Terrors unveiled their new home kit for the 2025/26 campaign.

The jersey, manufactured by Italian sportswear giants Erreà, sees the return of tangerine and black vertical stripes for the first time in 25 YEARS.

The shirt and shorts both boast a white trim, with Quinn Casino continuing as the club’s principal sponsor.

United fans react to return of the stripes

Supporters were quick to make their feelings known as the Tangerines introduced a new look for the new season.

Richard Price posted: “Very smart. But we don’t wear stripes. Will still buy it.”

“No idea who signed it off, United don’t play in stripes for home, should be a tangerine top,” Grant Miller said.

Not everyone was against the stripes, however. Shedilus Snake posted: “Absolutely beautiful. Change is good. Do not be blindsided by tradition.”

The Butcher simply said: “Take my money.”

Side-by-side comments on X showed the divide in opinion with Jack McLelland saying: “That is absolutely beautiful.”

Followed by the one-word post of “horrific” from Neil McCulloch.

Cayden Smith was also less than impressed, saying: “I set my alarm for that.”

Paul Shannon: “Nope, not for me. Home shirt should not have stripes on it.”

Duke and Thommo went with “awful” while Bryan Docherty is a fan: “I like it.”

Daniel Gearie simply posted: “Hull City.”

Scottydunk went with: “Reminds me of Shakhtar Donetsk.”

“Potentially the worst home kit we’ve ever had. Brutal,” said Jack Soutar.

Stewart Buick added: “It’s different and an opinion splitting one for sure. We don’t do stripes and a bit disappointing.

“Give it a few months and it will probably grow on me!”

While JamieDUFC83 summed things up in one word: “Marmite.”
