Random away kit 1990

[pace89]

Anyone know why for the last few away games of the 89/90 season City changed the maroon and white striped away kit to an all maroon version? It had the collar of the 88/89, 89/90 away shirt but the body of the top we had for the next two seasons introduced in the summer of 1990. Why did we suddenly change 3/4 of the way through the season why did they slightly alter it again for the following two seasons?

Never noticed it before.

Bad batch from Umbro?

That striped kit is possibly my fave City strip of all time

It had a certain charm about it. We wore it at west brom for the battle of inflatables game.

Those were my first 2 away shirts. Never knew about the top one. Loved the striped one.

Agreed, although I was a only a kid football and City seemed much simpler then. With likes of Hendry, Lake, Quinn Allen, White, Bishop, Michael Hughes, Curle etc around then we should have been far more competitive than we were. Our ability to sell the quality and keep the dross must have been unrivalled.

Another kit anomaly in that period was the fact that from 88 - 91 we only had short sleeved shirts.

I think the kit was only used for QPR away as the white stripes and hoops could clash, most aways we would use the blue kit anyway and thought the change was a one-off that season.

We also wore it at Millwall the weekend before the QPR game.

was in their main stand for some reason at wba so had a better view than most of the battle of the inflatables taking place on the away terrace.happy days
