Bosnich wore the change kit from 1998/99 with "www.beapartofit.com" sleeve patches.
Pre-season Change Kit
Variant
The "www.beapartofit.com" sleeve patches were worn against Shanghai, with Van der Gouw also waering the outfield third kit socks. Against South China in Hong Kong, Bosnich wore the long sleeved change kit (without the Umbro flashes on the shoulder) but with the sleeves cut above the elbow. The shirt also featured the Sharp Challenge Trophy patches.
The Season in brief
United retained the Premiership title at a canter, winning 15 of their final 19 League games, and finishing a massive eighteen points clear of Arsenal. They also won the Intercontinental Cup, beating Palmeiras 1-0 in Tokyo, but failed to progress beyond the group stage in the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup in Brazil. Their defence of the European Cup ended in the quarter finals, beaten narrowly by Real Madrid.
The club had a new change kit and yet another new third kit, although after wearing the latter in the Charity Shield opener, the kit wasn't used again. The club badge on both the shirt and shorts on the European kit now included two gold stars.
There were a number of variants worn during the season by United's 'keepers, most notably in the game against Arsenal in January. The kick off was delayed to allow Bosnich to change his shirt, which was too similar to that of the Arsenal team. In the first half he wore a long sleeved grey T-shirt and in the second, a 1994-1996 home shirt obtained from the club souvenir shop. The episode is included in the RTÉ report of the game, and there is a YouTube video.
In the Premier League at Spurs, Bosnich wore white socks with a red trim (from the 1998/99 change kit). In the Worthington Cup tie at Villa Park his shirt had the 'Sharp Digital' logo, and he wore the white European socks. In all four of his appearances for United, Tiabi wore black track suit bottoms in preference to shorts.
