Adidas responds to debate over women’s Manchester United jersey
The sports brand said it made the two styles in order to ‘give fans a choice,’ but some think the female design is discriminatory.
The women’s version of the team kit has a plunging neckline when compared to the men’s version. Here are the posts that tipped off the controversy:
Seriously @adidas?! why is the V neck so low compared with mens one? Some of us don’t like to show cleavage. @ManUtd pic.twitter.com/km4nOPs0nK

This is really irritating because the men’s fits differently. Will have to settle for the mens I guess. @adidas @ManUtd not impressed at all

What are @adidas trying to say with the ladies design? I call that discrimination. Nike never did that. @ManUtd
