City’s New Kits

[HelloCity]

I usually love the red and black shirts but i can't bring myself to like that

That’s a fake although the real deal does look pretty close.

New shirt today from City Store as part of pre-match preparations. Nice feature on City stadiums over the years in the free issue of King of the Kippax.

Knowledgeable young girl serving in the store this afternoon, asking me how I felt about Sunday, then started talking tactics with me. Hope she has a word with Pep, she reckons we need to start fast and be relentless against them.

I think it’s a great kit. If you hear anyone who doesn’t get the significance of maroon to City tell them to have a look at this piece I posted back in November of the consternation when maroon was replaced by red/black stripes:

I’ve seen some on social media question why maroon. Truth is it’s City’s traditional away colour and has been used for numbers on shirts, trim on shorts and on socks of course.

I’m one who agrees with those complaints. Can’t be doing with City in red. Never liked any red+black stripes, sash, or checks.

Maroon is City away.




Any sash should be Sky and navy.



Stripes or hoops should be yellow and black (Mcr bee).

I’d also like to see City in some of the yellow strips with maroon trim from the early 60s.



Throw in a nice purple, a nice orange kit, and a nice white kit now and again and we should ever need to go near fucking red!

You’re just an out of touch rambling old man ;)

It’s 2022. Not 1960 haha

Seriously though, we release 3 new kits every year. There’s not going to be a maroon (or yellow…) kit every year. There’s going to be loads of varied designs to get the most sales.

Try not to cry you soft fuckers:

I don't get the maroon on the shirt and that ship looks like a Blue Peter badge
At least we'll be wearing white shorts

There a good short video advert at Manchester Victoria station by the ticket barriers, if your up that way, it’s probably at loads of other locations too
