3rd Kit Release Date - Confirmed

All De Bruyne is missing is Balotellis hat to finish off the look!
Who's the captain?

 

[Happy Feet]

A travesty, who ever thought that one up needs sacking.

 

[peoffrey]

I shall be buying and wearing.

For me, pretty terrible. What's even more obnoxious is that our Nike overlords have for the second year running stuck us with a paint/photobucket fill template third kit. Okay, Barca, you get lazer blue/black as yours. City, neon yellow/black. Etc etc etc. Haven't been following but I imagine all the Nike clubs have some variant of this once again.

You'd think someone over there could be arsed to spend so much as an hour or two even in an attempt to work up an actual design.

I collect shirts so I'll probably buy it so I don't have a hole in my City collection. But probably will grab one from Ali Express or wait until it is 70% off in normal channels.

If they really wanted to pay homage to the 99 kit, would it have been so hard to just copy the kit rather than do this? They would've been praised to the rafters if the kit actually looked like that kit.

Who pays homage to a kit by copying the trim colour, anyway?

 

[peoffrey]

I always thought this Borussia Dortmund jersey was nice. Perhaps something similar to that?

 

[HamannCheese]

We've never won in yellow. We'll never win in yellow.

I'm confused where they've actually got the colour from, I assume its the main stripe colour on the shirt, and not some minor trim I'm not seeing?

The fact they call the shirt 'green' doesn't help - I've never seen anyone call the 99 shirt green in any way before.

A lazy effort all round from where I see it, and perhaps fitting for a shirt that will be worn probably 4 times.

Well at least no annoying kit clashes like last season where all our fucking kits were a different shade of blue.
