City’s New Kits

[PragueBlue]

Don't mind the home. Not keen on the away despite its iconic status.

It’s nice but all Puma have done is give nods to past kits. Where is there originality?

I like the home one.

People hated their originality. The purple sleeves, the mosaic, the champagne one, the letters instead of the badge,etc.

Although I bought it, hated that kit at the time until it became iconic

Yeah, they may not be to everyone's tastes but Puma's designers have definitely given it a go in all their kits: Either nods to our past/Mancunian culture, or something completely different. As Umbro did. It's Nike who were the worst. They basically just gave us the same template they gave to all their other clients.

Although Nike did a couple of nice ones too. 13/14 and 17/18 were good simple kits.

Be interesting to see what Noels attempt is like

Don’t agree with that at all.

They’ve actually given us bespoke home kits and original away kits as well.

Whether people want to like them or not is another question.

slightly of topic but classic football shirts in Manchester has this in stock

Can't bring myself to look at Classic Football Shirts as I just look at the prices for stuff I've either binned, donated or lost along the way. Bit like the prices for some of the vinyl I skipped back in the day :-(

 

[yuffie_city]

Like most people I'm not totally sold on the home shirt collar/cuffs but I think overall it's a decent effort. And the design of the collar is much better than the bin dippers new home shirt.

However, Puma have totally nailed the away shirt. Of course, if you're not a fan of the original then this is hardly going to change your mind as it is just about a perfect update of that shirt.

Will almost certainly get this one, though probably from DHGate as shelling out the best part of a ton for a shirt ain't happening.

The away kit is great from the front. From the back its a disaster, just a big open space of blue for name and number. That's ok on the pitch, but on fans it will just look unfinished unless it's being worn by someone with a name and number on the back.

I suspect it may be like the recent red and black stripe away kit, in that the players kit will have space on the back but the retail version will have the pattern continued.

The retail version had a blank black back and the player version had the stripes partially continued.

I promised myself no more shirts......

but Dickov 9.....its got to be done.

((((IF)))) that is the away kit next season. surely the 99 squad need to be the ones who launch it

I agree, kind of looks half finished. Would have been better to have full stripes. If anyone wants player names/numbers, it could be a solid transfer panel over the stripes.

Don't get Dickov, just number 9. No names back in 1999. It'd look far better.

 

[nmc]

Definitely better than any of this seasons but still not great.

With plain white trim it would be a classic. As it is it looks a bit rubbish…. 061? WTF.

You can buy a china copy of number font on eBay for 3.50 a letter too

I‘d agree with that…. I don’t really like the Puma kits be we are definitely an absolute priority for them… unlike Nike who just gave us template kits, Puma seem to see us as their number one club.

Sadly it's a PL rule about visibility of shirt names and numbers. A lot of teams with stripes on their kits will have to do the same thing.

Will they let me have from 99 to 115 on it?

 

[citymad]

It's iconic but doesn't take away from the fact that it's an horrendous design.
