we've had some god awful kits down the years:-


just wish the club would establish some basic design standards and stick to them, like always white shorts, always sky blue shirts with white trim and always sky blue socks ... easy ...

I’d say we’ve had no more than four nice home kits since the start of branding on kits in the 1970s.

The only one I have in my wardrobe is the 125 YEARS anniversary kit (which wasn’t even an official kit).

We’ve had a few more nice away kits but, again, not many at all. No more than half a dozen.

In general football kits are dreadful looking items of clothing.

Really, only Umbro have ever nailed it when it comes to football kits in 2009-10 with those brilliant City and England kits they did. Simple old fashioned designs, nice soft fabric. But even those were slightly ruined by our shit badge at the time... until Puma brought out that 125 YEARS shirt the other year which is the nicest City shirt in our history.

But I’m only really bothered about what it looks like from the stands on the players. As long as the shade of blue on the shirts is right (hated laser blue), and we have white shorts (“blue and white they come together, we will carry on forever more”); I’m happy.

I prefer navy or white socks. Navy socks is City, and I always think white shorts and socks make the sky blue shirt standout more (see Umbro 2009–10 and the 2019 Community Shield at Wembley in the 125 YEARS Puma kit).
