The whole point of this is that even though we now get a new kit every year, you don't have to change the base colours – The dippers are always all red, Chelsea are always blue shirts and shorts with white socks etc. The designs change year on year, but those fundamentals never change... and that's what I want City to get right!
Personally i'd rather have a set sock colour, but as long as the shirt is sky blue and the shorts are white, I don't mind if they alternate the sock colour between sky blue, white or navy every year.
This is the first kit we wore as Manchester City...
...this is why people keep saying Navy Blue Socks... in fact we wore them up to 1951 (with the exception of black socks twice) ...in fact we have worn navy/dark blue socks for 69yrs of our 122yr existence, so technically it is the most worn sock colour.

I know why people want navy socks, I just don't like them and prefer light blue which is why I voted A, seems to be a more popular, view than I thought it was though.This is the first kit we wore as Manchester City...

white socks and we are same as lazio
we traditionally wear sky blue sock or navy socks and have wore navy the most
away traditional kit until 68 all maroon or maroon with white shorts, that is our proper away colour and we should return to it permamently.
Our first recorded 3rd strip was gold/yellow top maroon trim, maroon shorts and socks, but we have mainly had either white shirts with either black or blue shorts with the trim to match (eg saab 3rd away white shirt, black trim or the brother kit when white scored 4 at villa park white shirt navy trim)
all the recent away and 3rd strips bar the sash kit and the all maroon with gold etihad have been shite. we should get back to our proper kits of old.

Which is a real shame because we could look different to every club in the world if we had our navy socks that we've had more than any their sock colour in our history.

I agree with that too.
Navy socks and maroon away kits are so few and far between they're getting forgotten about. Which is a real shame because to me those two things are very 'Manchester City'.

Thank you for counting, I counted years ago and forgot how many it was, I thought it was 74, as you say it's 69 and still about 25 years more than sky socks.This is the first kit we wore as Manchester City...

Nowt better than that combo, for me. Love it!

Interesting results. Sky blue socks with a clear majority, followed by white in 2nd and maroon 3rd most popular. Navy coming in 4th.

Yeh it's funny how different sources generate such different results. The eagle was overwhelmingly popular on Twitter, whereas in the Cityzens consultation it only accounted for 30% of the vote.
I think Twitter and Facebook is a lot younger and more international fans compared with our season ticket holder demographic.
I think sky blue socks would win any vote regardless of demographic though.

It's intereting that Nike changed the design of the away kit for this season after they saw the full blue moon print on the shirt was extremely unpopular after the leak. They ended up toning it down and just having the graphic on the sleeves.
With the City Watch poll showing 98% were against the sky blue shirt, sky blue shorts and white socks design, it will be interesting to see if Nike will be brave enough to back track again.

What we want is a sky blue shirt with white trim
White shorts (that can be mucked about with a dark trim, sky trim or just plain white)
Socks can be rotated, sky blue with white, just sky, hooped sky and white, white, white with sky trim. So many possibilities without navy which actually is my preference
Second kit can be anything of, Red and black stripes, all black, all maroon, maroon and white stripes (which is really traditional), all white, white shirt black shorts, The Embassy kit red and black diagonal, the royal blue with red and white diagonal. Again lots and lots of different kits
Third kit. now we'e going global, fucking bright like this year's and can be almost any fluorescent colour
But the utmost important thing is our home kit, sky blue, white shorts

Totally agree, sky blue shirt and white shorts should be non-negotiable.
Look at this image from Deloitte, the graphic on the right, every other teams kit is instantly recognisable, and ours has got fucking all blue everything! They are not City's colours, blue and white they go together.
