First league game as Manchester City would be 1st Sept 1894. First home game 3rd Sept.

That would be my guess then nearest home game to those dates.
Sounds bad

St Mark’s FC became Gorton AFC.
“In winter 1880 the cricketers decided to form St Mark’s football club. Some of the players from this football team were instrumental in forming Gorton AFC in October 1884. The Chairman of Gorton AFC was James Moores, a sidesman at St Mark’s Church”
http://www.manchesterorange.co.uk/History/st-marks-church-manchester-city-orange-order
It went:
St Mark’s FC 1880
Gorton AFC 1884
Ardwick AFC 1887
Then that club ceased to exist in 1894.
On 16th April 1894 Manchester City FC became a new club that didn’t have any forerunners (even though members of St Marks FC, Gorton AFC and Ardwick AFC were involved), Ardwick AFC did not become Manchester City FC.
The kits went:
St Marks FC- unknown, possibly scarlet and black
Gorton AFC- black with white cross pattee
Ardwick AFC- navy and sky halves, then white and sky halves

I've just messaged to ask. On footyheadlines website in May they showed a swatch/spoiler of the black colour way- which is what my friend has confirmed- and she's just text more details saying one of the sleeves has a salmon pink edge/hem and the other one is sky blue. sounds like a fight in a paint factory.
No sign of a third shirt yes- but on footyheadlines the other puma spoiler showed a yellow swatch with pink/peach trim- so I'm guessing that's accurate too.
That's exactly right but with a dash of sky blue on it too somewhere IIRC.
Third is peach/pink at the bottom with a gradient fading upwards to bright yellow. Etihad logo in peach/pink. It's pretty out there.
The black away is unusual but looks really cool I think.
Cheers for the info-but they sound awful

cheers for the info. sounds laughably horrific, can't wait to see it. to hell with tradition anyway :)
It sounds like loads is going on but it looked pretty smart in the (albeit fuzzy) pics I saw. It's mainly black and the other bits of colour are small accents with clean lines. It's unusual so won't please everyone but I think people will be pleasantly surprised.

I'm intrigued by the black one. Sounds better than the home one- which she's confirmed is a per the photos ie the purple abomination. She said the men's home shirt is round neck and the women's is the v neck as per leaked photo
I think the home one is actually ok but the black one was the one i was most struck by and the one i'm most looking forward to seeing properly. The yellow one is precisely as per the colour palette that has been floating around. I didn't mind something a bit different on a third kit but the way they've done it with a gradient doesn't look great.
It could be red and some on here would lap it up, ffs.

I’m in Turkey this week and we’ve bought this exact shirt. It’s lovely, even if it’s a shite copy. Also bought a kids one that came with blue shorts....
Much better than the black and pink number Ive seen kids here wearing. The pink is really pink too. Horizontal think pink stripes on a black shirt with pink sponsor and pink name/number on the the back.
This doesn’t prove they’re the actual designs, of course. But you never know. The home shirt is very 80s and if that’s it, I think Puma have done a great job.
*quote didn’t work, but it’s the one @Achillias posted on Sunday.

Concept kit creators are making better kits most of the time in comparison of the actual designers who are responsible for kits.
This one.
