They make the shirt APPEAR to have a shadow stripe in the material, without the expense of spinning the shadow stripe into the material!
I think it is a modern update on a classic, and given it’s Puma, not Umbro, I like it FAR MORE than some of their efforts, including that white abomination they’re showing!
Fuck me that “new” white shirt is gash!!
I don’t mind white as a second shirt, and we had a wonderful white shirt, navy shorts, white socks kit very recently. But, are they simply tone deaf to the FACT that City fans are DESPERATE for a white shirt with a single (or double) stripe on the front, be it vertical or the diagonal sash???
And, while I’m ranting, what’s with the fucking crackle mosaic and lightning shirts??? I get it that mosaic tile has a Manchester and City historical reference, but come on!!!
I can only hope that City & Puma are waiting until we will the CL to bring out the classics, so they can have a CL trophy patch on them!!!
