On July 13, the sky in London was clear and the sun was shining in every corner of this ancient yet modern city, as if adding a different kind of brilliance to the upcoming event.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the clock slowly pointed to this highly anticipated moment. Adidas and Manchester United held a launch ceremony for the "Qilin Jersey" designed by Li Zhengqi, the champion of the first Manchester United "Oriental Edition Limited Edition Jersey" Design Competition, at the Mary Katrantzou show in London, which has a strong artistic atmosphere and fashionable style.

Outside the show, it was already a lively scene. Broadcast vehicles from various media were neatly arranged, with cameras, microphones and other equipment. Reporters were in a hurry, either making final preparations or already interviewing and reporting on the guests. At the entrance, security personnel meticulously checked the invitations of each entrant to ensure the order of the event.

Adidas attaches great importance to this launch ceremony. After all, Manchester United created a legend in the history of English football last season and became the first and only team to win four championships. Its achievements are recorded in history. Coupled with the huge and potential market of the Eastern country and the entire Eastern language and cultural circle, the significance of this "Qilin Jersey" is even more extraordinary. For this reason, Adidas sent a large delegation headed by Global Vice President Florian Alt. The group of people wore exquisite and decent business suits, with confident and solemn expressions on their faces. They walked into the show surrounded by the crowd, as if announcing the importance of this ceremony to the world.

In the show, the carefully arranged venue is like a dreamland. The T stage is surrounded by bright lights, and various elements related to Manchester United and Adidas are placed around it.

The scene was filled with an atmosphere of excitement and expectation.

The next to arrive was Chen Eason, who usually impresses people with his singing on stage. At this moment, he was wearing a Chinese-style robe with Western-style leather shoes, which cleverly integrated the characteristics of the two cultures. His smile with unique charm made people feel like spring breeze; this hardcore fan of Manchester United also received an invitation from the club to attend the Legend Return Celebration, but the celebration time conflicted with his personal concert time and he was unable to go. This time he hurried from Hong Kong City just after the concert.

She was wearing a high-end pink floor-length dress with exquisite patterns embroidered with gold thread. The slim design showed off her graceful figure.She walked gracefully, as if she had her own light, and wherever she went, she was the center of everyone's attention.

Liu Tianxian was like a fairy descending from heaven, wearing a white gauze dress, with her hair simply tied up and only a delicate hairpin. Her elegant makeup and cold and elegant temperament made people feel that she seemed to be a beauty from an ancient scroll. She sat there quietly, but she had become the most beautiful scenery.

Another first-line female artist in the entertainment industry of the Eastern country, Yang Mimi, wore a black tube-top fishtail skirt with a unique pleated design on the skirt. She swayed when she walked. Her confident eyes and charming smile showed her strong aura. Dilireba wore a red long skirt with ethnic characteristics, embroidered with complex and gorgeous patterns, which made her exotic beauty more outstanding. She greeted the familiar people around her enthusiastically, and the whole show seemed to be heated up a bit because of her enthusiasm.

Next to Yang Mimi is Famu Lei Deng. Today, he is wearing a straight black suit with a red pocket square, revealing a different kind of playfulness and handsomeness. He and his companion Zhang Nuli joked around, making the atmosphere more relaxed and pleasant. Zhang Nuli was wearing a white suit with a unique print, which had a faint shadow of oriental elements. He politely responded to the fans' shouts, always with a warm smile on his face.

Next is the four-character boy. Today, he is wearing a simple gray suit with a black shirt inside, with a slightly open collar, showing a casual yet steady temperament.

Soon, the fashion show officially kicked off. Male and female models from all over the world came out in a line, perfectly displaying the eye-catching "Qilin Series Jerseys" in front of everyone.

There are five colors in the "Qilin Series Jerseys", the most famous of which is "Manchester United Home Red", which is a color as hot and passionate as a flame. It seems that as long as you put it on, you can be instantly injected with endless energy, allowing people to run and sweat freely on the court. Every red light and shadow passing by seems to write countless glorious chapters of Manchester United in the past.

The other two away colors are also popular: Navy blue (also known as "night indigo"), like a dragon in the deep sea, ready to stir up waves at any time. White, like the first snow in winter, pure and flawless, gives people a fresh and elegant feeling. It is so eye-catching on the court, as if it has its own light, showing a different kind of elegance.

The customized limited edition "traditional military green" carries the charm of history and tenacity.

When the players wear military green uniforms and gallop on the green field, they seem to have an unstoppable and unstoppable force. There is also the retro light blue, that is, the snowflake jersey, which seems to condense the good old days into this elegant color.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore a black leather jersey-style suit. The slim design showed off her tall and hot figure. She swung her long golden hair, exuding a charming sexy charm.

Cara Delevingne was dressed in a cool and handsome neutral style. She wore a jacket based on the "Qilin jersey" with black trousers and a pair of red high heels. The unique style of dressing was eye-catching. She had an uninhibited and free look, and she walked out of the T stage with a different style.

The main color of the jersey is bright yet solemn red, which symbolizes Manchester United's fiery passion and fighting spirit. The jersey is embroidered with a lifelike Qilin pattern with golden silk thread. The Qilin has a vigorous posture, a dragon head, a moose body, a cow tail, and a horse hoof. It is surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it will break through the clouds in the next second. The delicate embroidery makes people admire it.

At this time, Li Zhengqi, the designer, walked onto the stage. She wore a simple dress modified from a Chinese cheongsam today, showing the softness and elegance of oriental women. She stood in front of the microphone with a confident and calm smile on her face and began to introduce the inspiration of the "Qilin Jersey".

"Hello, friends. The inspiration for this 'Qilin jersey' comes from the ancient and mysterious mythology of the Eastern country. Qilin has always been praised as an auspicious beast in the Eastern country, symbolizing good luck, peace and longevity. It has an extremely noble status and is a symbol of protection and auspiciousness in people's hearts. When I think of Manchester United, this great team, and their brilliant achievements last season, that kind of kingly aura, I immediately think of Qilin. I hope that this jersey can carry the beautiful meaning represented by Qilin, and accompany Manchester United to continue to overcome difficulties and create more glory in the future arena." Li Zhengqi's voice was crisp and pleasant. She used fluent English to popularize the status of "Qilin" in the mythology system of the Eastern country to many foreigners present. The audience listened with relish, and many people showed admiration for this unique cultural fusion in their eyes.

After Li Zhengqi's introduction, Florian Alt, global vice president of Adidas, also took the stage to deliver a speech. He first gave a high evaluation of Li Zhengqi's design, praising it as a model of perfect integration of Eastern and Western cultures, and then expressed Adidas' confidence in continuing in-depth cooperation with Manchester United and its expectation of exploring the market of Oriental language culture circle in the future. His impassioned words won warm applause from the audience.
