City’s New Kits

When you say our traditional kit…. How far are you going back?
Well it's what we wore between 1894 and 1951. So you could definitely say it's our most traditional and consistent kit. Granted, from then onwards we wore sky blue (and occasionally white or even hooped) socks until the late 80s. Since the 00s it's been more inconsistent. It's all there on the Historical Football Kits website:


Lots of people like the sky blue socks, but for me the overall look is softer. A bit too 'nice' maybe?

I'm biased though as I started watching us in the early 90s (David White, Keith Curle etc.) and we were wearing navy socks then. I guess we all prefer the first kit we saw City play in.

I bet you're partial to a purple away kit with white stripes and yellow sponsors, you dirty devil. ;)
