While I think the “ode to Manchester” theme last season was a bit overdone, I think the white one is a thing of beauty this season, but the third kit is certainly polarizing.
Smacks a little of “look who we are!” But, it’s a great way to get a “t-shirt” style kit jersey.
I’m not a lover of City in black, but have always felt like a third kit needs to be dramatically different to the other two, so…
Although I don't like it myself, would have maybe given Puma some level of credit for being bold and trying to be original and different with it, even if it is totally unnecessary and just for sake of it. But given they seem to be doing that for every team, it isn't even that, it is just a piss poor template.
