City football shirts everywhere

Saw a few in Majorca a few weeks ago, all variation of accents, plus one of the reps was a Spanish Blue.

My son who lives in London has just got a job as a producer at Sky Sports. He wears his City tops with pride and definitely let's everyone know which team comes from Manchester.

Producer hey… any chance of influencing the narrative to be at least neutral about City, stop the relentless fawning over united and Liverpool, and realize that there is another 18 clubs in the PL?

I think he will definitely give it a try but it might take alot more than little old him. But we can live in hope.
 
Have been in France & Spain for past couple of weeks, visiting various places. Loads of Utd, Barca, PSG shirts. Surprising number of Arsenal & Chelsea ones. Occasional Liverpool, no Spurs. Quite a few Bayern, Real & Inter (for some reason).

But have also seen 6 or 7 City shirts, which is 6 or 7 more than I did on similar trips 5-10 years ago. One market in France was selling (odd / fake) City shirts with KDB's name on.
 
Lots in the UAE worn by locals,Manchester & Internationals.

The kids at the football academy's & camps are well into City,KDB & The Viking.

Like it or not we are becoming an International Super Club.
 
Saw a brand new white Lincoln MKZ in Boston (Mass.) with a City badge bumper sticker on it a couple of days ago.
 
Wherever we go in the world I always take time, in airports or sports shops to re-arrange the football shirts so that there is a City shirt on the front of every rack! Looks great when I’ve finished as it looks like they’re only selling City shirts. Wife walks away and says I need to grow up, I’m 71 :-)

Good work Rotherham. Though not shirts, I took a load of rag magazines in Smiths when coming back from London and and stuck them behind the women’s mags

LOL I was in LOS last year during the run in and final day of the season when covid protocol was still being followed.

I counted 7 City shirts in 3 weeks (not counting mine and my wife's), but only 1 rag, 4 dippers... and a lot more Buriram United tops.

My wife's family are dipper supporters.. but it seems the new kids around town were favoring City. They never had the money to buy City shirts though.

Now with Haaland being the face of City and as they grow up.. probably more motivation to do so!

From my experiance of travelling to LOS since 1989, Liverpool is their 2 nd religion,its always been that way in my eyes,my wife was liverpool before being forced to change,the rags are 2nd and we were nowhere to be seen till this trip,and that included when taksin was around.
 
Seeing more and more City shirts over here in the land of bullshit and chewing gum. Good to see. Most are random, which is even better.

The most random City shirt sighting by far for me however is in Cairo in December 1988. I had just landed from Saudi and had my tongue hanging out for drink, which they had in abundance at the Gezirah Sheraton. I was after at least two large bottles of San Miguel before I noticed that the young Egyptian barman had a red and black striped City Philips shirt on. Probably from 1984-5 or so. Asked him why; he said that he hated man utd and found out that there was another club in Manchester so started following City. Also followed 1860 Munich over Bayern. I guess he didn't like success...or being a rag.
Had a great few scoops with him. And filled him in on some of City's history. As much as I could remember after my first real beers in many months...I got back to '68 before total memory loss kicked in...:)

I really hope that he is enjoying things as they are right now. Good man Khalid. Still have no idea how he got the shirt though...:)

Aguero changed a few hearts and minds.. I've seen a few Aguero shirts here and there over the years.. but it was all Aguero, never a David Silva, never Kompany, never KDB.. Aguero only or numberless City shirts.

Next time I and the wife go, I hope there'll be a lot more Haaland shirts!

Going to Turkey I expected to see quite a few ‘Gündoğan’ shirts both in the shops/stalls and people wearing them, but it’s literally over 95% ‘Haaland’, then a few ‘Aguero’ shirts and the odd DeBruyne’ one.
It’s scary to think how rich he’s going to be when his career finishes, he really is a world super star despite only being a ‘tap in merchant’.
