not a big surprise as the kit will change every year if they want to release one every season, its a Nike tradition, usually colours, but i think the contract with them allowed Nike full access to alternate the kits as they see fit. Something the club will have to change when it comes up for negotiation if they want a stable brand and kits are a key to that brand.
i just worry about the 3rd kit colour abominations that we are getting that have nothing to do with City and are just Nike going half-cocked, doing what they want. Hoping for something white/navy/navy but expect something in pink and orange going off Nike's previous.
