City’s New Kits

Even on a manikin, the collar doesn't sit correctly

They seem to have run out of heritage references. It is such an odd thing to do, that prominently. Has anyone ever felt proud of a phone number?

If they wanted to use some numbers then stick some Mersenne primes on it in homage to the Mark 1 and our incredible digital heritage. Better still a punched tape style graphic.

The 0161 is lazy as fuck and I'm actually quite annoyed by it, I think I need to get out more!

The area code is a very strange reference to be on the shirt at all, never mind so.prominently.
Maybe put a plan of the M60 around the badge.

Why not have the number ‘115’ instead of ‘0161’. It just seems more meaningful to the club and supporters.

Lazy is the best way to describe it. They would have been better off putting no 'reference' and just random patterns if that was the look they were going for, than 0161 imo. At least the previous references while even sometimes naff, were fairly quirky as thoughts.

I like it

If they would have just had the sleeves and collar as plain navy it would be a really nice shirt? The 0161 thing just looks tacky imo.

dont know why the designer needs to add stupid gimmicky touches, just keep it clean and simple.

Given the 0161 code goes up as far as Bury and down to Marple (and the raggies have an 0161 number too) it's a bit of a bizarre nod to our identity, or am I missing something?

(if it is the sick swan it's a bit of a stretch)

0161 is a big deal in grime culture.

The kids will love it.
