2016/17 Home Kit Blue Shorts are back

[Shaelumstash]

Agree Shaleum ..... its The key part of our identity ........ not necessarily going to wear it but as a grown man I dont want us llooking like the The Dirt or anyonyone else for that matter...

I want the kit to look like the great teams of the 60s

That's the thing some people don't get - it's about identity. I've never worn a football shirt as a grown man. Not saying there's anything wrong with it, but it's not for me.

The colour of the kit makes up a huge part of our identity.

It's arguably a more important part of our identity than the badge, as it's more visible. Also, we've worn 4 different badges, but only ever worn sky blue shirts (apart from that abomination with the white sleeves.)

Sky blue shirts, white shorts, blue socks. It's so easy to get right I don't understand how they can mess it up so often.

Yeah, those blue shorts absolutely ruined the Aguero moment for me. I like most had been watching shit for 30+ years, but I couldn't celebrate winning the league because of those shorts!!!
My opinion is, it's the shirt that counts. That's what the majority of fans buy anyway. Blue or white shorts doesn't really bother me now!
As the song says, The boys in blue!

Oh good fucking lord...

Not even halfway through this season and folks are ready to organize a march against blue trousers.

Can we worry about Stoke first?

This is bluemoon and you need to get your priorities right

At leAst we will have white in our kits with the White socks.

I would LOVE to get white lettering back to our shirts tho but unlikely to happen now for next season.
Assuming the article is even right tho we will just have to wait and see

Don't try and put words in my mouth mate. We've got the best owners in the world by an absolute mile. I don't think for one minute Sheikh Mansour is making a decision on our shorts!!

It's probably the same hapless marketing execs who designs the City Football Group logo who decided to allow blue shorts.

PROBABLY being the important word. I don't think anyone has the autonomy at our club anymore to make such wide reaching decisions. Everything is done in a considered way - so I think everyone is answerable to SM

In a nutshell mate :)

Why can't they just leave the shorts white! Blue shorts are a big no no for me

Sky shirts
White shorts
Navy socks

74 years of our 121 year history.

Fair enough, change the sock colour, but the shorts? Why? You wouldn't get the Rags wearing red shorts, would you?

I feel like I'm less of a fan because I honestly couldn't give a fuck what colour shorts we wear. I'm also not that arsed about the badge situation.
Is there something wrong with me?

No mate. I'm very interested in having the right badge and kit colours for our club but really don't like a lot of our songs that we sing, especially Blue Moon. I find many of our chants utterly shite!

It's always been about the football for me. Obviously I wouldnt want us in any other colour than blue shirts but the shorts and socks don't bother me.
Bluemoon is ok when the whole ground is singing it but that rarely happens.

Couldn't agree more mate. Some of the execs at the club, and seemingly the designers at Nike need a history lesson.

Every time we have blue shorts a thread appears on bluemoon with hundreds of posts. The overwhelming majority of posts are dead against them, you get the odd poster who doesn't really care, and possibly one or two out of a hundred who prefer them.

The club read bluemoon, we know this. They know the blue shorts are overwhelmingly unpopular with fans, yet they let it happen again. It seems whoever makes these decisions is putting their own personal preference above the wishes of the fans. Not good.

Sky blue shirt and white shorts.

Happy to alternate between white, sky blue and navy for the socks.

Sky shirts

They've had black shorts with the red shirt before iirc.

Our identity is more with the sky blue shirt. I suspect most people aren't too bothered about the colour of the shorts as we've worn blue shorts in the past.

You suspect wrong going off the vast majority of posts on bluemoon on the subject over the last 4 years, mate.

The Shite wear black shorts sometimes when there's a colour clash. But their home colours for the last 40 years has been:
Red shirts, white shorts, black socks.

Arsenal red shirts white sleeves, white shorts, red or white socks for the last 40 years bar their anniversary season.

Liverpool red red red for the last 40 years.

Chelsea blue shirt blue shorts white or blue socks for the last 40 years.

City sky blue shirts, white shorts, blue socks for 90 years, and then Swales let Umbro mess about for a few seasons, and nowadays, who knows?! Sky blue shirts and then whatever the designer feels like when he wakes up that day!

No other top club in the country gets their identity messed about with like us. Maybe it's not important to the designers at Nike, but it's important to a lot of our fans.

God no, there's something very right with you blue. Fuckin shorts ffs.

 

[bigf42]

I used to be dead set against blue shorts, "like Coventry" I used to rant..... Then came 93:20 and blue shorts are etched into the memories of our greatest moment..... Still prefer white, but from a marketing/establish a global identity, you can see the point
