An extra 50 quid for a black stripe gone wrong?

I'm assuming they were queueing all the way back as far as ASDA this morning, waiting to purchase that thing of beauty.

It’s very similar to many shirts many teams have had as second or third kits over the years, including us previously:
And look at United’s third kit for this coming season:

Agree but as long as people keep buying them they will keep producing them; it's just part of the business model now for multiple reasons. We've also seen the limited editions creep in so it's only going one way.
My only issue with it is the pressure it puts on parents but then that comes down to being able to teach children that they can't have everything all the time. I do feel sorry for families who can't run to one kit because of the stupid pricing.
Personally I'd go back to the days when a kit lasted two years and the home and away changed in alternate seasons but that ship sailed a long time ago and is never returning to port.

Would prefer more creativity for these kit launches. Rather than sticking them in a studio with a City flag draped in the background, howabout some location pics across the city or even near the stadium/academy area. Possibly taking advantage of the summer sunshine where we could even ask Bernie to model some of the kit ;-)

I'm sure some sad fucker will have stats on it somewhere, but it has seemed to me that over the last few years we have worn the third kit as a change more often than the actual away kit?

It’s allegedly supposed to represent the Manchester Bee?!….. I’ve never actually seen a green bee before… is it radioactive?

This latest Puma thing over the past year really pisses me off. Not only do you want to charge £70 for some polyester, you change all 3 shirts annually and then you don't even make it a replica of the on field kit (EXACTLY what the word REPLICA means).
Instead Puma then have the balls to charge £100 for a shirt that resembles the on-field kit.
Fuck off Puma.

It's does look ok.
But asking for £70 for basically a copy of Celtics 09 shirt is just plain lazy.
And the Puma promotion that it somehow resembles the Manchester Bee is frustrating.
The only way it looks similar is, if the said bee goes out on the piss in Manchester, has a dodgy curry and looks like it's going to throw up on the tram.
Better off saying it was to do with the playoff final shirt tbh
It has nowt to do with Bees that's for sure.

You mean the Kappa one?
Yeah that's the only link I can see it being as a reference to, but it's tenuous at best.
