18/19 home and away kits ?

Never understood why we had this sash kit as was none of our colours

If I remember correctly (unlikely) its because Malcolm Allison thought that it looked European and big timey. I think Big Mal is where the Red and Black stripes come from too (although I've read we may have worn these in the early 1880's but I suspect that might be incorrect).

Gary James will hopefully clarify.

A combination of the two ultimately led to my favourite contemporary shirt...

We wore the socks that matched that kit as our home socks...

Also, we've had another kit (bit earlier - 60's I think), with a diagonal stripe – found a black and white photo of it, it was sky and claret stripe if I remember correctly...

This should have white lettering at the back.
It has enough white details so that it easily works even if Etihad is written in navy or black

Give over

The sad thing is "Marketing 101" took over and said "dark lettering will show up better on television". But in actuality if we did white lettering (front and back) it would be unique and be just as recognizable - if not more so - and HD television solves this anyway.

I'd take that as a third kit tbh, especially after the double decker this year.
If this and the other 2 are true then nike will have actually done a good job for a change

I agree mate, the quality of the shirts are still shite but at least they will look nice! lol

I'm probably the only one, but the details on the socks being different to the rest of the kit bothers me.

That looks smart – be happy with that kit... although the tick on the socks needs to be Skyblue too.
However, wasn't the 3rd kit supposed to be green?

No I think the camouflage description made some think green, but nike are using that effect as a template.

Just seen on the official site that the present kit came second in a poll of the best kits of all time! Has to be rigged. The present kit is shite.

Said it before but it's the worst home kit ever IMO.

The 12 year olds on the other side of the world will have voted for it. Unfortunately that's who get listened to nowadays (grumpy old woman alert!) (Well, 42 ;))
