City’s New Kits

[coolcity]

Yep, hated it. The Kappa design wasn’t the issue, it was the shade of blue. Our colour is pale/light blue (Sky Blue)

I loved the actual colour but hated it because it wasn't our colour.

Umm...I'm not sure about that. I could be wrong, but way back in the day, before we played on sky blue I believe our original colours were maroon shirts with narrow blue stripes.

I'm not quite that old but I always remember our colours being sky blue with white shorts and maroon trim (socks, maybe collar etc.) - I'm going back to late 60's, early 70's. Away was the black and red stripes, black shorts and socks IIRC, seemed to be the same for years. I don't remember navy blue ever being used back then. That said I prefer it to maroon, not a football thing, I've just never liked maroon very much.

we Have never wore maroon with narrow blue stripes! How long have you supported us? Check our full history below

Got it a few weeks ago on Ebay. In fantastic nick as well. Always wanted to get hold of one. I'd love to see the club resurrect it one day. Knocks spots off the monstrosities we've been getting these last few years. The one we used yesterday looks okay, to be fair.

Those sites are not always 100% correct, but I did say I wasn't sure. It was a late uncle who told me we used to play in a maroon/pale blue pinstripe kit. The one I'm thinking of is probably the 1956 FAC final.

Could have been a change strip as we played Birmingham who also play in blue but I think they wore white in that match, unless both teams changed. But we definitely played in maroon with a thin pinstripe in that match at least. Some say the pinstripe appeared white but it was (or was supposed to be I believe) a very pale blue. I did see an actual shirt worn by one of the players from the period (not sure if it was that actual match), I remember the pinstripe actually looked light grey so it's anybody's guess.

Reason I was unsure is because I didn't think we had change strips in those days so I assumed that was the standard kit at the time.

Would have expected some leaks by now, they've kept things very quiet.

Not sure I'd call it a classic!

Hope they've sorted out the pulls on that shirt....if you sneezed it was fucked let alone if you actually did anything in it.

https://dpretro.com/product-category/english-teams/man-city/ does anyone have ever bought any shirt from there ?

Hearing on good authority that the away kit will be a rehash of the 1999 play off kit to mark the 25th anniversary.

I can go with that if it’s done correctly.

Would be nice to draw the Gills in the FArce Cup next season, then!

Seeing these on a few different sellers in the Far East; anyone know if they are close to what we are getting next season or if it’s ’artistic license’ ?

I think as a rule of thumb, if 'leaked' pictures make you go WTF, they are probably likely fakes.

According to the best sources -

Home - blue top, white shorts, navy socks
Away/third - one is all maroon and the other is like the Wembley 99 kit for 25 years having passed.

thought weve already had the 99 tribute shirt the other year.

also i may have dreamt it, but did i read in the aguero "comeback" game that his team were going to wear the new kit ?

Bloke who sits in front of me had this blue shirt on at the game yesterday.

They're all confirmed fakes.

Home shirt doesn't have pinstripes.

Away is a 99 tribute.

Third is maroon.

4th is designed with Noel Gallagher.

5 years ago (20th anniversary season) there was a kit which used the same colours.

This is 25 years on and will apparently be close to the original kit in design.
