City’s New Kits - 2021/22

[Keeper!]

3 of the finest shirts we have ever worn and all in 12 months. UMBRO were on fire!

I was about 40 when they came out, not bought a shirt since I was a kid, I ordered all on first sight and when they arrived , they were even more beautiful in the flesh and the quality of fabric was outstanding for a football shirt.

I even considered going full on FKW, but them came to my senses!

Shite collar and too much white on the sides

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

Don’t know about V neck mate, looking at that shirt it’s more of a off the shoulder number

Theres many a cleavage in the south stand and thats just the men so maybe theyve got it spot on

OMG so its real. Was hoping it was going to be a bluemoon classic...you know the one. Those white under arm bits look terrible and for some reason reminds me of that crap photo of McPointalot in his baggy shit shirt pointing.

Notice how the front one has had its neck pulled down the hanger farther than those behind.

The neck won't actually be that wide, esp when worn.

As for the white flashes on the sides, they will make sense when we see the shorts IMO and it needs some white on there somewhere. A white neck collar would accentuate the v-neck and really would make it look wider/deeper than it really is.

eg, Uruguay 1950s shirt...

I quite like it. Would prefer it without the v-neck but other than that, it's pretty nice.

It's a homage to our first PL title win then.

I like the calculator digit pad motif.

I like the calculator digit pad motif.

In fairness, that had a v-neck as well

Im probably in the huge minority but I started watching City in late 70s so I grew up on them wearing blue shorts and I never had a problem with them, had actually a bit of a shock when the white ones came in (or back) in 1985-86. (although that shock was quickly displaced by the one when I saw Sammy Mcllroy wearing it!)

Even had a subbuteo team with City wearing white shorts and tried to paint over them with blue (made a right balls up of it as well)!
I like white shorts but actually dont mind the blue either as thats what I associate my first Maine Road experiences with...

For me the rule should be straight forward - sky blue shorts should only be worn if the trim of the kit is solely white - so the late 70's kits of all sky blue worked because of the white trim, I also liked the 2011/12 kit for that reason, however absolutely hated the 2014/15 and 2016/17 kits with a passion.
That said, personally, should be white shorts always!!!
