Found next year's training top online. Not a bad effort.

Cool as fuck that.
 
yeah, are some good adidas concepts out there...

The home kit is shit the one on the previous page is excellent apart from not having dark blue socks, however the 2nd and 3rd kits are gorgeous. That 3rd kit is to die for. Fucking Nike won't do anything close.
 
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...

After copying Milan for the red/black kit Allison designed the blue shirt with red/white sash and white shirt with blue/maroon sash with the intention of them becoming our home/away kits replacing the sky blue. Thankfully it was blocked and they were used as 2nd/3rd kits and as mentioned the socks were used on the home kit. It was emulating a Barca shirt of the same period.

No coincidence that Crystal Palace changed to white shirts with red/blue sash throughout the 70s early 80s just after Allison left!
 
it's like one of the teenagers in Piccadilly Gardens who's absolutely fucked on spice has designed a tribute to the 80s kit fashion because he's trying to be cool and thinks he could handle what was "acceptable in the 80s".
Lol, agreed, it just needs an Ian Brown style money motif around the neck, would be quite appropriate and self deprecating too

Also worth stating that at one point Allison said he wanted to make the red/black stripes City's first choice. Not as bizarre as it sounds today changing colours so radically at a major club back then - look what Revie did at Leeds.

When City first wore red/black some fans were not happy (there'd be an outcry today if we about to drop maroon our traditional away kit for red/black) but by end of the 68-69 season fans were wearing the colours for away games and of course Wembley.
 
not much maroon :(

If that's right, then the maroon on the socks is not fucking worth it... needs to be turnovers and a maroon strip down shorts would help... that mock-up should just have sky blue socks with white line around, would be much better!

There's no pleasing some people. This is the best kit we've had under Nike, no question.

I found this. Few more new pictures. IF the sleeve material looks like that it might put me off buying one unfortunately :-(
How can it be so hard to make simple good looking shirt from one material (think home kit 09/10)?

Edit: another one https://m.dhgate.com/product/top-th.../398318832.html#cppd-5-9|null:108:r1185553864

Thanks for that. Certainly won't be the first one as there won't be the adidas style 3 stripes on the side!!

Possibly – then again there was nothing wrong with 2015/16 kit...

sky blue shirt, white shorts and sky blue socks, with white trim... Perfect if you ask me!
If you read my post properly, I didn't say it was bad, but rather - what is the point of that maroon stripe? There's so little it renders it pointless, as there is no maroon anywhere else on the kit – for the amount there is, it would be better if they hadn't bothered – a white line would look better.
