Strange rule forces MU to change uniforms in the final

MU was forced to wear black pants instead of the usual white pants.

According to the Daily Mail , for the second time this season, MU used the red - black - black kit combination. Normally, Ruben Amorim's team wears red shirts, white shorts and black socks. However, they had to change because Tottenham had priority in choosing the kit because they were determined to be the hosts of the final.

In the Premier League, Ange Postecoglou's team usually wear white shirts, dark blue shorts and white socks. But in the European Cup, Spurs follow the tradition of wearing all-white kits. The Sun revealed that this is a rule that has lasted for the past 64 years.

According to the rules of the competition, teams are not allowed to wear the same colour on their shirts, shorts or socks. Because Tottenham wore white shorts, MU had to switch to black shorts to avoid the same colour. The only time MU wore red-black-black this season was in the 1-1 draw in the Europa League with Real Sociedad in March.

In addition, the MU goalkeeper will wear a green shirt, while the Tottenham goalkeeper will wear a yellow shirt in the match in Bilbao.

Tottenham's all-white tradition began in 1961, when Spurs made their European debut, becoming the first English team in the 20th century to win both the league and the FA Cup, under the management of Bill Nicholson.

Nicholson decided to change the kit because the white shirts made the players more visible under the poor lighting conditions at the time. This tradition has accompanied Tottenham for decades, winning two UEFA Cups and one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.
