Manchester United have been drawn as the "away" side for the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace, meaning that they will wear white shirts, black shorts and white socks on May 21 at Wembley.
Palace will be the nominal "home" side after winning a coin toss, meaning they can wear their traditional red-and-blue kit.
The shirts for this year's final will bring back memories of the two clubs' last meeting at Wembley in 1990 -- when United wore white against Palace's traditional colours in that year's FA Cup final. On that occasion, though, United also wore white shorts.
The initial 1990 Cup final meeting between United and Palace ended in a memorable 3-3 draw after extra time, before Alex Ferguson's team returned to Wembley -- wearing red shirts for the replay -- and won 1-0.

The match on May 21 will be the eighth time that United have worn white in a final. White kits have been seen during memorable final in recent years in their history -- including the two defeats against Barcelona in the Champions League and, more happily for United, in the 1991 Cup Winners' Cup final triumph over the Spanish club.
There was criticism for the club recently, however, when fans were sent white T-shirts by them and asked to create a "Wall of White" at Anfield for their Europa League clash at Liverpool, who eliminated Louis van Gaal's side in the biggest European meeting between those two clubs.
The FA has announced that Mark Clattenburg will referee the final.
