City’s New Kits

At the risk of being permanently banned from here, I genuinely loved this kit.
 
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.

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.
 
They 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.
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 season
