Manchester United fans in Seattle were treated to a fashion show of sorts on Friday evening as three first-team stars modelled the club's stylish new away kit at the city's Niketown store.
Nemanja Vidic - carrying the Barclays Premier League trophy - led team-mates Rio Ferdinand and Ji-sung Park onto the stage and the trio then took part in a question and answer session hosted by Old Trafford stadium announcer Alan Keegan.
The Reds arrived in Seattle on Thursday and are building up to the second match of Tour 2011, against Seattle Sounders on Wednesday 20 July.
Rio`s comment on new kit :
KCKRS: Everyone remembers the grey kits of 95/96, which only lasted a few games. How important is color of the kit to the run of play?
Rio: For me, I’ve never had a problem with the kit affecting the run of play. Obviously, there was an issue then and we won’t be going down that road again.
KCKRS: Do you look good in blue?
Rio: I look good in any color, man. It’s not about the color though, it is about how you play. You have to feel comfortable.
KCKRS: Describe the feeling you had the first time you put on a Manchester United shirt.
Rio: It was more of a desire to go out there and put myself in the history of the club. To make sure that when I left the club, I walked out proud knowing I’d contributed to the history of the club.
