You are honestly the first person I have ever known who liked the silver thing -but as you say it’s a personal thing#2 all time worst kits? WOW!
What are your thoughts on....
Red and Black chess board from the late 80s?
First Advice "Spiderman" Red and Black stripes?
Thomas Cook All Black?
It'd be a strange world if we all liked the same things.
Guess some people don't approve of being ripped off for the genuine article when there are more than adequate replicas out there for a fraction of the price.The amount of people who use dodgy fake sites on here is astonishing
I'd say £80 for a t-shirt is even more astonishing, personally.The amount of people who use dodgy fake sites on here is astonishing

You pay the price for the genuine article, same for a premium brand in selfridges etc or a high end watch. Adequate replicas are fakes simple as. Same people on here will be complaining when city don’t sell as many shirts as Liverpool or United or why we’re not number one on Deloitte when Madrid are top spotGuess some people don't approve of being ripped off for the genuine article when there are more than adequate replicas out there for a fraction of the price.
Yes and my point is that some people, in fact many people, can't justify a large expense for a genuine football shirt when it changes every season?You pay the price for the genuine article, same for a premium brand in selfridges etc or a high end watch.

my point is more down the line of if you can’t buy it then don’t buy a fake. I can understand getting one for a kid if times are really tough but there’s a lot of grown adults on here who don’t need it and want to show their support for the club by giving money to dodgy Chinese websites rather than the club. Modern day culture of entitlement means people have to get everything they want. My kids don’t have the kit yet they will get it when I can afford it. I remember getting kits for Christmas presents when I was younger and I loved it but these days everyone gets what they want straight awayIt's hardly a surprise. Not everyone has the disposable income, especially when the kids are asking for the new kit every year.
I refuse to use them for City and tend to just wait for Fanatics or Puma to have sales mid season.
But I don't blame anyone for doing so. The quality of fake shirts is better than its ever been, and the club has added £5 to the price for consecutive years which was already high enough.
There is absolutely no reason for £80 to be their price point outside of knowing we're the hot new trend for international bandwagon fans who switch clubs with the wind and buy jerseys to be part of the new cool thing.

Understand the idea of waiting until Xmas, that used to always be a totally reasonable approach. Not saying it isn't now, but kits used to be used for 2-3 seasons, now everything is just for one. If you wait til Xmas, that's half the season gone.
When I got a kit for Xmas it was always the same kit, the clubs today should be ashamed of themselves for fleecing fans for what is advertisement of their product.
Today it's only acceptable to buy from legitimate sweat shops.

Just maybe if city hadn't put a needless increase on my season card I'd buy one from them .Sniff

I also got the kits either for Christmas or birthday when I was a kid back in the 90s/early 2000s. I remember even back then my folks had a big row over the shorts my mum had bought me that were 20 quid. Nowadays it's every year, 3 or 4 kits a year and the prices of every item astronomical. If the option for a much, much cheaper, decent enough quality replica is out there there's literally no reason why lower income fans/families wouldn't go for it. Fans support the club by buying their legit merchandise? How about the clubs that are already loaded beyond belief support their fans by making their merch more affordable and accessible to more fans?Sniff
