Went and saw the new 4th shirt in the club shop on Saturday (never normally go in there) and it is class up close in person. Have changed my mind on it and will be buying it.

I know lots have already talked about tradition etc and City ‘not’ wearing blue at home but it’s actually more common than we may think that City have chosen to wear a colour other than blue at home. In fact it seems the only decade it’s not happened in is the 2010s. I explain a bit more here:

I had the same opinion. Think the colours are classy and it looks nice in person (still not sold on the monochrome badge - any monochrome badge ever - though).

Ah well, saved a few quid :-)

Crowds in those days were enormous! From the old photos I've seen it sometimes looks like Maine Road wasn't big enough.

Definitely looks better on women than men
