Love this shirt. Only thing that confuses me is that I have seen many official ones, both in match photos and for sale, where the umbro logo is navy blue. Kinda weird why some have white logos and some have blue. Anyone know why? Maybe they just used what they had in stock in those days for us because we were shit?

It was white in 87/88 and navy in 88/89. I’d guess that the sponsorship with brother which started in 87 was agreed after the kit was designed and previous sponsors logos had been always been white so Umbro assumed that would continue. Presumably brother thought navy showed up better.

We’ve had worse home shirts but as an overall kit I genuinely think this is the worst we’ve ever had. It doesn’t even look like a City kit. What was even more disappointing was this was the first time the more traditional new badge was used and yet it was used on the least traditional home kit we’ve ever had.

The 2018-19 one with the weird v neck and button was worse.

Utterly fucking hideous.

Thank you so much for the knowledgeable response mate, appreciated

Yep. The shirt was naff but shorts and socks were the legit colours. It was also the kit for Vinny's thunderbastard and the treble, so hard to have a downer on it imo.
