At the risk of being permanently banned from here, I genuinely loved this kit.
The replicas didn't last a day without snagging thoughWill always love those old silky tops....mitre delta and 'taches and/or mullet mandatory
The mitigating circumstances were that it was part of Nike's Vapor range that season. So all their kits had contrasting sleeves, shorts that matched the shirt and completely random socks. See the England kit from that season, with light blue sleeves and red socks. Horrible and looked nothing like an England home kit. It was really poor by Nike.I’ve always felt this was the worst ever home kit we’ve had. Dark blue sleeves combined with blue shorts and white socks. It doesn’t even look like a City home kit.
Individually I think we’ve had worse shirts but as a whole kit this was really something else.
What made it worse was that it was the first season with the new badge which was a return to the classic design and yet it debuted on the least City looking home kit we’ve ever had.

Barcelona really do mess with their shirts and traditions. Shorts and socks alternate between red and blue too. I'd rather be like them than the rags and Liverpool who are boringly pretty much the same every seasonThey all have done things that pissed their fans off. Utd had that black V thing on one year, there was outrage when arsenal joined the white arms all the way to the collar, real madrid changed their detail and writing to blue which was a scandalo, and did they not also randomly add a dragon once? AC Milan can't ever seem to get one right, either the stripes are too dense, it dense enough too many, too thin, one year asymmetrical, one year they blended and faded, or had all black shoulders. Dortmund and Barcelona tinker all the time.
It is not unique to us.
looks different on that pictureIs it the lighting or is the main body of the shirt a different colour to the sleeves?
Well done.
Can anyone explain why our new kits are always on sale around the world before we actually even officially see them?
Better asking Noel,he’s probably been designing it for 12 monthsAnyone know what colour the name and number is? Navy or white?
That shirt just screams Vedran Corluka to meI loved this kit.....

Gave it its annual airing last friday night. And I'd love to see the club give it a reboot, like they've done with the Wembley '99 kit this season.
Bianchi for me, with Sven (R.I.P) in the dugout, and the sun shining.That shirt just screams Vedran Corluka to me
