blue or white shorts

OK Here goes(crash helmet on!)
Maybe I'm chattin s**t,but I have a theory on City's kit in general.Now I openly admit I'm no phsychologist/doctor/optician etc but I believe that subconciously from a very early age we recognise bright colours much more easily than pale colours,e.g. Yellow/orange hi-viz jackets,red stop signs,double yellow lines etc. Now this is kind of borne out in football,where you have to pick out team-mates or opposition players in the blink of an eye(poor analogy I know),it could be that we recognise these colours a fraction of a second quicker,albeit subconciously. If you look at some of the most successful & consistent teams of the last 40/50 years,scum,arsenal,liverpool(yellow away kits too),I think they have a slight neurological advantage.I know there's exceptions to my theory,ie,Barca,Real Madrid,Chelsea etc,but in general it kind of holds up, in my head anyway.
Hence I preferred the Blue of the Kappa shirt,white shorts & white socks(as Mr Gullit said football just looks sexier in white socks),and my favorite away kit is the red & black striped one we have now.

A bit of background on me,not that I should have to justify my thought processes.
I'm 42,been a blue for 42 of those years,
(though the first few are a little hazy now),was a season ticket holder from 11 until 30 when I became a dad,had to work Saturdays & couldn't justify the cost. I'm now a bluecard holder with my daughter & we attend every game we can.This season we've only missed the Everton game & that's because I had to work.I've recently spent 6 months working at the other end of the east lancs & even them boys don't call me a rag. So please,I don't mind you disproving my theory,would love you to in fact,but don't ever call me a rag,as I'd rather shove wasps up my arsehole!

What was your first game mate?

What was your first game mate?

DD

Hartlepool at home,sat on my dads knee,in the league cup 74 I think,like I say,slept since then. I think it's the 1st ever game where a player was sent off whilst being carried off on a stretcher,think we won 5 or 6 nil.
P.S. My dad was a season ticket holder for 30 years,main stand.

Lakey was my all time hero,played against him at school level,was there when he swallowed his tongue,the 5-1 derby win,& when THAT team won the FA Youth cup.It's not meant as derogatory,but as a mark of respect for one of the most gifted players to ever wear the shirt.If I had as much talent as his right little toe,I'm sure I'd have made summat out of football. Lakey= Legend.

Like the Europa kit from last season with Maroon numbers. I would prefer white shorts with a maroon stripe down the side of the whole kit.

Were you in the Main Stand when he swallowed his tongue?<br /><br />-- Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:51 pm --<br /><br />I thought you'd run a mile when fronted out. Another one outed.

D Day truly approaches.

It's all very girly this, have a lot of ladies taken interest? I'm surprised I've not heard that Yaya's arse looks big in white shorts.
