City’s New Kits

Re the sales in Asia, Africa etc., I always wonder how big is that market for sales – everytime you see Africa on TV, people wearing shirts look like they've been donated through second-hand charity clothing donations and in Asia, the market for knock-off shirts is massive... you rarely seem to see the latest 'official' merchandise being worn when you see Asian fans on TV etc.

And, on the design side... the third kit leaked is awful, but tbh, I don't give two shits about that... the home and away I do care about... I want the club/players to look smart – this season's home is a thing of beauty - but the home and away leaked look shockingly bad.. the home especially just looks cheap and nasty - like one of the afore-mentioned Asian knock-offs - it's the line pattern. I get they're making it as a nod to the old shadow striped kit, but when your design looks worse than the decades old kit you're homaging, you've missed the mark by a considerable distance!

Still plenty in asia and africa will want/buy the genuine shirt. Same as you get loads in uk buying snides, some i guess will buy knock offs but loads will want the authentic kit

It might be a loss making enterprise in relation to the City gear they sell, but Puma will sell many other items just from the exposure of being with City.

I’d never bought anything from Puma before they became our manufacturer; I now have full tracksuits, t-shirts, shorts, trainers, socks etc. for training that I would never have looked for previously. I prefer buying plain Puma stuff than Puma stuff with City branding on.

Even non-City fans will see City are made by Puma because City are everywhere and they might think our kit is decent so they’ll think, ‘I’ll have a look on their website, see what else they do’.

Plus their executives will probably get free tickets for Tunnel Club and their own boxes for every home game and first dibs on big away game tickets and Wembley tickets, free holidays on Abu Dhabi etc.

Horrible collar and why are the sleeves always so wank

Not sure what you expect from a sleeve?

If it's trim, I guess they probably keep them basic these days because of the sleeve sponsors and PL badges etc.

Agree on the collar though. Not sure why the obsession these days with just having a front collar and nothing at the back.
