City’s New Kits

I dont get this obsession with white shorts being our identity. We've never had any consistency with kits outside of a sky blue shirt.

And please don't do that stupid "but wE lOOk LiKe CoVEntRY cITy" shit. They don't own sky blue shorts. Lazio and Celta Vigo have historically played in sky blue shirt/white shorts. Are we copying them every time we use white shorts?

As lazio were formed around 1900 and celta 1929 we cannot be copying them as we are the original wearers of sky blue tops white shorts.

We first wore blue shorts in 1976, for the previous 80 years before that it was blue and white main kit colour with maroon as our second choice colour that is our identity and the strandard for this club.

Since the first introduction of the blue shorts 46 years ago they have been worn for 14 of them years, they are not our colours blue shirts, white shorts is city, we were the first to wear that combo and it is what we should never deviate from.

In my opinion.

NO

Manchester City FC home colours should and always be sky blue with white shorts

Khaldoon's assistant, if you're reading this...

We love him. He's the best Chairman we could wish for.

But please don't give us blue shorts ever again, under any circumstances :-)

Made my laugh when his eyes lit up talking about the kit. But am just imagining the chaos on here when in next season's video Khaldoon says 'right you tossers in the kit thread I've had enough... you can either have me or a guarantee of white shorts but not both, make your mind up boys and girls'

Im kind of with you on that mate. I started watching City in the late 70s early 80s and all my early Maine Road memories as a kid was a blur of all sky blue (with white umbro trim as the programme always told me!) Some of my earliest favorite players, Paul Power, Rockin Ray Ranson, NIcky Reid and Kevin Reeves wore that attire, and it was actually a bit of a shock when Sammy Mcllroy started his (thankfully short) City career wearing white shorts.

I also like liked the white shorts when they was brought in in 1985-86 but I dont have an issue either way and find it amusing how incendiary it is on here.

Infact I agree with you that the all sky blue this year look looked great to me.
