Been after the short sleeve version of this for ages then recently seen it on score draw? Never noticed it before, must be a fairly recent addition to their range? Anyways I've brought it now. One of my favourite away shirts.

#2 all time worst kits? WOW!

What are your thoughts on....

Red and Black chess board from the late 80s?
First Advice "Spiderman" Red and Black stripes?
Thomas Cook All Black?

It'd be a strange world if we all liked the same things.

You are honestly the first person I have ever known who liked the silver thing -but as you say it’s a personal thing

The amount of people who use dodgy fake sites on here is astonishing

Guess some people don't approve of being ripped off for the genuine article when there are more than adequate replicas out there for a fraction of the price.

I'd say £80 for a t-shirt is even more astonishing, personally.

I don't mind it. Think we've had far far worse - in fact I'd say most le coq ones were worse.

You pay the price for the genuine article, same for a premium brand in selfridges etc or a high end watch. Adequate replicas are fakes simple as. Same people on here will be complaining when city don’t sell as many shirts as Liverpool or United or why we’re not number one on Deloitte when Madrid are top spot

Yes and my point is that some people, in fact many people, can't justify a large expense for a genuine football shirt when it changes every season?
Who complains about City not selling as many shirts as those other clubs? Who really gives a fuck about that?
Zero wrong with people with less of a budget shopping around for a cheaper alternative to an extortionate "genuine article".
Baffles me that your line of attack is against fans who are looking for an alternative to being ripped off rather than the club for their ridiculous pricing of a top that changes every year. And they bring out 3 or 4 shirts per season.
If you've got the disposable cash to spunk on all of those shirts from the club shop, good luck to you. Many people however cannot justify it. I wouldn't for one second scorn those people.

It's hardly a surprise. Not everyone has the disposable income, especially when the kids are asking for the new kit every year.

I refuse to use them for City and tend to just wait for Fanatics or Puma to have sales mid season.

But I don't blame anyone for doing so. The quality of fake shirts is better than its ever been, and the club has added £5 to the price for consecutive years which was already high enough.

There is absolutely no reason for £80 to be their price point outside of knowing we're the hot new trend for international bandwagon fans who switch clubs with the wind and buy jerseys to be part of the new cool thing.
