City’s New Kits

[eversince 76]

Lol the majority of kits they bring out are dreadful.

Meeh. I like Puma and couldnt be happier with another decade.

The black St Marks inspired away shirt looks good but a real shame Puma didn’t incorporate the St Marks badge into the shirt somehow. Even on the collar.

What might an Adidas City home shirt look like?

That’s a nice shirt.

Here’s some Melbourne city ones.
Which are puma but I would say are far better than what they give us.

I like 15 out of the 22 to varying degrees so not too bad.

Puma homes, my rankings:
'23 (treble centre badge)
'24 (v neck stripes)
'22 (title winning kit v Villa at home)
'26 (this year's sash)
'21 (mosaic)
'25 (area code farce)
'20 (purple monstrosity)

With the exception of top centre, pretty uninspiring set of kits. The new black and last years maroon have been a big upgrade. Looking at the home shirts, there's not one that says wow so overall pretty poor from Puma.

Looking at them,there's a lot of contenders for being the worst kit ever.

I've just seen the black kit. Beautiful. Simple but very striking and the best they've done, I think. I shall be ordering one.

Message to the shop, don't put a black shirt on a dark background!

Kit launch day at the Etihad

The photos of the new black kit don't do it justice... it's stunning

Strangely enough, I am sure I read some of the biggest sellers under Puma have been the 3rd kits.

Big sellers in the u18 market

 

[Double R]

Man I regret not buying that Hacienda shirt.

The 21/22 3rd kit was a piss take

You know with all these black and white vids if burnleys media team were doing the launch some clasic B&W film wpuld have been used, something like young frankenstien

Always thought this shirt deserved more love. Really smart I think.

The black St Marks inspired away shirt looks good but a real shame Puma didn’t incorporate the St Marks badge into the shirt somehow. Even on the collar.

It’s not St Mark’s, it’s Gorton AFC. The earliest known kit associated with the club is the black shirts with white cross pattee that Gorton AFC wore in 1884-85. There wasn’t an official St Mark’s badge either - anything you see that looks like a St Mark’s football badge has been fabricated this century, it’s not from the 1880s.

I think over the years people have tried to claim the 1884 photo & kit are St Mark’s but we don’t have any evidence/team photos showing kits before Gorton AFC’s new kit in 1884.
