City’s New Kits

In the interests of debate and not criticising anyone (as I understand times are hard for many), but..

I don't get the concept of buying fake shirts from China that the club make no money from at all. I guess if people go to the games or pay TV subscriptions that benefit the club then it doesnt matter so much, but I know loads of people that buy fake shirts (for themselves not their kids), don't go to games and watch all games on internet streams (but they do wear real designer gear and top end trainers etc.) Then these same people complain when the club doesn't buy the player they want or put up season ticket prices. At the end of the day (and we know best as blues), clubs have to balance the books for UEFA/PL rules, so to expect the club to be the best and sign the best and yet put no money into the club as a fan doesn't seem fair.

Like I said, I'm not criticising people, just interested to see what people's opinions are on it

It’s almost seen as “trendy” to get them from there. In my City WhatsApp group the lads who buy from there take the piss out of the lads who buy real ones.

The thing is, the shirts are noticeably not real. The badges are proper snide.

But, like you say, I can see why they do it with the cost of everything. For people who only buy a footy shirt about once every five years, it’s worth just getting the real thing. But for those buying for themselves and their kid(s) every season, snides are the only way to do it.

And this discussion every year relates to the annoyance with City putting up ticket prices all the time. We are not an affluent fanbase and the club need to get their heads’ around this fact!

Really? Yes, the 93:20 shirt (the one with the hoops, yeah?) is fugly. But that is hideous. I wouldn't wear it for a bet.

It’s very ‘early 90s’, proper cool. I feel like getting my old tramlines shaved into my head like I did in my last year at primary school in 92!
