2016/17 Home Kit Blue Shorts are back

Just when you think the club have started listening to fans, we are going back to fucking blue shorts, which absolutely nobody wants.

No doubt this is a great opportunity to piss fans off, have a hugely negative reaction (again) and then have a "Cityzens" consultation to ask ask fans what kit colour they want and don't want. Then they can package it all up like they listened to the fans.

The club are fully aware of the negative reaction of the fans to this. Nike should be fully aware because the club assured us they were going to feed this back to them.

Blue shorts are for Coventry City, not Manchester City. We're just letting Nike take the piss with our identity again, and the club are letting it happen again. Not on.

I'll take it with a pinch of salt, especially as I imagine the new badge will be used from next season.

For all anyone knows this has been unofficially "leaked" this early to gauge fan reaction.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Seems legit...

 

[JASR]

I'm sure my one and only full city kit was entirely blue, shirt, shorts and socks... Back in ...hmmm... 78?
Got Peter Barnes autograph at the opening of a shoe shop in Cheadle Hulme...about the same time.

Don't like all blue, f***ing HATE dark blue trim. Crap

 

[PragueBlue]

Don't like all blue, f***ing HATE dark blue trim. Crap

Won't be all blue, we're apparently having white socks ;-)

Prefer white shorts personally but not it's not a big deal which colour shorts we wear.

 

[Proy]

As long as it's sky blue and white I'm not arsed

Be the white on the shorts or socks I'm really not fussed either way

 

[HelloCity]

Blue shorts are crap.

 

[Why Always Ste]

Has to be white shorts for me too... although I don't buy kits, I want to see City in their home kits playing in white shorts.

Is the correct answer. Blue shorts worked okay in 11/12, and I doubt too many think it's a lesser title because we wore blue shorts. Indeed, there's an argument to be had that the shorts were the nicest part of the kit. The shirt was horrendous, with those dark dots and that silly check detail around the collar. And as for those hooped socks; I won't even go there as my blood pressure will go through the roof.

Whilst personally I think it should be white shorts EVERY time – my objection to last season all sky blue kit was the complete absence of white – this rumoured kit has white socks at least so not all bad!

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

its gotta be white shorts. all nike kits are the same though colour wise. i miss umbro :(

 

[malg]

Good, sense at last. Just need a decent eagle on a round badge, and the club have nailed it.

 

[Blue Smarties]

for the first time in club history

Fuck off Nike, cunts. White shorts.

I don't understand the hate for hooped socks - always liked them... very 1950's retro.

 

[invisableman]

Sky Blue shirts with white trim, white shorts with sky blue and navy blue trim and navy blue socks please with sky blue detailing.

You're welcome.

Surely the NYCFC kits are what CFG want ours to look like in their ideal world because they could've done whatever they liked with that and they went for sky blue shirts, white shorts and white socks? Why is it so hard to make a City kit how the fans want it to look not how some overpaid "manager" at Nike wants it to look?

Totally agree with this. It's a joke that one of our "sister" clubs gets to wear the proper Manchester City colours, and we get to wear Coventry City kits. Maybe the board are branching out the CFG and getting a midlands club and this is our way of making Coventry feel welcome? Richard Keys as brand ambassador, Hillman Imp are official motor partner, anyone?
