Just when I was getting excited by this kit Nike go and do that.

Utter cheapskates.

Nike naff up the badge again.

pretty sure that will be the £90 match day kit badge ... the cheap(er) replica ones at £60 will just be a paper badge with no holes in it. Though i could be wrong looking at the pics on the OS Shop, they both look the have the holes on them both.

That's actually the badge on the player version of the shirt.

The badge on the fan version is the same as this season.

the new one is basically what this years one should have been all a long, so it already feels a year old to some i guess.

but all the manufacturers recycle the same templates every season, whether its in the same club or mixing them between clubs, so chances are everything will look pretty much the same anyways.

Think they prefer to be safe (or boring) than risking a completely new design that may alienate customers more than entice customers.

Think they Alienated more fans nation wide with last years efforts, they just used one template for nearly every team if not every team, I know loads who usuley buy the home shirt every year but decided against it last year. The spurs one was nearly identical to the England one,
Think it was very lazy and or just showing contempt for fans saying a big fuck you you'll get what your given. This years is the same template but at least we got the right coloures this year, but like you said the kit feels old already. City fans being city fans would have jumped at having something a bit different from everyone else last year and probably would have sold more had it been a different template then everyone else, ( we would still have moaned like fuck on here though)
Hope we don't renew with Nike and hope the sales was right down last year, maybe they would learn a lesson
Wonder if all the others who had the daft sleeves have this year gone to a single coloure but same template.

If you order it online from the club shop it gives you the option of prem badges & sleeve sponsor for extra £6

Bit daft that, I'd have thought The sponsors would have insisted on them being on the kit..

Daft in the extreme—they are basically asking the supporter to pay for optional advertising on the shirt, effectively subsidising (however small an amount) the sleeve sponsorship deal. Depending on how they structured the deal (I don't have the reports with the particulars on hand) it could be a further [completely unnecessary] money grab by either the club or Nike... or it could have actually been negotiated as a means to inflate the value of the deal (large total sponsorship announced, slightly lower actual net payments with shirt sales allotments factored).

My guess would be for the former which, in my mind, is moronic and "anti-supporter".

Everyone I know would prefer the shirt without sleeve sponsor so making it optional is a good thing not moronic and not anti supporter.

Bit much to take in Sunday morning ( allotment factors, net payments , deal structure ) but guess your saying it's a bit daft ;-)
In the day and age of advertisement why would you pay somebody to to advertise there product, the shirt should be subsidised by Nexen £6 cheeper if you get there badge not increased by £6
