Why are Man Utd wearing black shorts against Tottenham in Europa League final?
Tottenham have been drawn as the home team for the Europa League final, which means they will wear their Lilywhite shirt with navy blue sleeves, paired with white shorts and white socks.
In domestic competitions, Spurs usually wear navy shorts, but due to a European tradition dating back to 1961, the North London outfit will don white shorts this evening.

The ritual was started by former boss Bill Nicholson, who wanted to increase visibility for his players in stadiums that didn’t have good lighting.
The tradition has stuck ever since, with Spurs wearing all white in Europe to this day, when they are the home side.
