City’s New Kits

[urban genie]

Navy is a big core colour for City home kits.

For 80 years of our 130 years, we’ve had navy socks or at least navy trim on our home kits.

We’ve only had maroon anywhere on our home kits for 8 years of our 130 years.

This what we were formed as a club wearing and is our most common kit combination that we’ve worn for 66 years of our history:

We only had solid sky blue socks for the first time after nearly seven decades after we were formed and this has been our home kit for just 37 years of our history.

Doesn’t really change my point does it?

Of course it does. That's nearly 100 years then, that's 'tradition'.

Sorry, I thought you meant on the home kit.

Yes, we had a maroon away kit for many decades. It disappoints me that we ever changed from that to red+black.

I think the Oasis kit is terrible, but it's aimed at children (any adult should be ashamed of wearing it) so I have no issues with us having it as an away kit, even though I think it's awful
However, if we have a yellow and black striped second kit, why do we need this Oasis kit?
"Some might say" it's marketing for Puma, perhaps a contractual obligation,. Isn't that the same for the Chinese New Year kit they release every year?
Even worse, is that we have an all maroon third kit
If sky and white clashes with another club's home kit,then yellow and black certainly won't, so why do we have the maroon kit?
OK, a Champions league away kit could be the Oasis kit, yellow and black gor the Prem and just in case for the CL
I understand that we've worn an away kit at home for various reasons such as the fog at Maine Road, but we should always be wearing out traditional home kit at home except for exceptional circumstances, such as weather
That decision to wear navy (the David James game) went down like a fart in a diver's helmet amongst our supporters
It didn't help that it also was a shite kit

£30 away tickets i think is one? Not 100% if that’s correct though.

Be more impressed if they influenced a reduction/maximum price for all tickets (the majority) not just away tickets (the minority).

They would then generate huge support.

Are they active/militant enough to generate cross club support and activists ??

Although I'm not a hater of the Oasis kit, it shouldn't have been worn in a crucial home chumps game.
It made us look like the away team and that annoyed me, no end.
The home kit colour is iconic and should never be displaced for a marketing scam.
I'm still proper annoyed thinking about Inter in their home strip and City in a never been seen before pop star top.
