I second that motion.

If not these socks, I am okay with many other choices, including navy socks, and I think I'm the only one who likes the sky blue and white hooped socks . . . but in the end I think the sky blue shirt/white trim/white shorts combo should be a permanent home identity.

Having said all this, if I don't get what I want, I'll be okay with it. Just a shame because I think consensus among the fan base is pretty high.

Done them without the trim and collars and cuffs etc. just to see if we can find the base colour scheme before we start on any more complicated.

For me, if i had to pick an 'iconic', 'unique' kit scheme ... it would be D. Remember the kit with Colin Bell and co in the early 70's ... even though i was born in the late 70's and didnt become a fan till the 80's, i never saw that kit, but that always stuck out to me as THE City kit and everything else was based on that scheme.

Fair enough mate. I think everyone is a bit misty eyed towards the kit they remember as a kid, myself included.

D doesn't feel unique or "City" to me at all. It just makes me think of Coventry.

As soon as I see C I just think Manchester City straight away, it couldn't possibly be any other team in the world.

Firstly base kits without trim is all that's needed - adding trim is pointless because kit manufacturers will change that every year, they have to make the shirt slightly different every year to sell them!
We need to just get the base kit colour template decided on then stick with it!

Secondly... you prefer D? All sky blue wasn't worn till the mid/late 70's not early... I find it more 'unique' to Coventry than City, and Colin Bell is more famous for wearing the kit with white shorts and sky blue socks, with maroon turnovers.
 
A. closely followed by C. then E (I'm a bit surprised to see how popular E is).

then a huhe gap and the others.. D, F, and the last one is just unacceptable imo.
 
Funny how next season's runoured kit has got only 2% of the vote!

In fact, adding the votes for both designs with blue shorts adds up to 5%!!!

Madness that the club keeps allowing this to happen.

New kits every single year means a necessity to change the kit and the format of the kit every year. Get with the programme lads, you're not gonna change it. Find something else to moan about.

That's not true though is it? The vast majority of teams have the same combination of colours for their shirts, shorts and socks every single year. We're the only major English team I can think of that chop and change each season.

FWIW, I grew up with the navy socks of the late 80s/90s but it's A all the way for me.

That's what people said about the badge and look what happened there :-)
 
What says Manchester City other than blue and white so why people say navy socks I don't know!
I'm all for the club mixing up the away kits. I'd like red and black obviously for most of the time but I do enjoy seeing us in unusual colours. I've heard our 3rd kit next season could be orange and purple! Great!
