City’s New Kits

[Manchester33]

Wind ya neck in with the over reaction. Nobody is trying to change the clubs colours. They're just trying to maximise revenues. If you don't like the shirts don't buy them.

I smell a whiff of distain towards the owners here, probably because the team has hit tough times. Funny how they've been 'the best owners in the world' until now

Absolute head in the sand post...

How can any fan see that tweet and not come to the conclusion that the club are trying to change the colours we play in?

Genuine question. If we play in the CWC and do not wear a sky blue shirt for any game, how would you feel?

Obviously every true City fan is thankful to Sheik Mansour. Loads of us (check my post history if you can be arsed) have been VERY vocal on fan issues throughout our successful years. The people running our club (notably Soriano) get an awful lot wrong. It's our duty as the lifeblood of the club to ensure it's traditions (like playing in Sky Blue) are kept. The worst type of fan is someone who passively sits by and lets temporary custodians bastardise the club our families have supported for generations because we win a few trophies now.

If fans let this one go it won't stop here...

We wore our new away kit at home the last game of the season in about 2005 so if that was your red line we pole vaulted over it a while ago.

Fans were furious about that at the time!

Also, in that exact game we left a forward on the bench and put David James up front. We were a tinpot outfit back then and idiotic decisions like playing in an away kit at home were par for the course.

We have a right as the real custodians of the club to demand better. Our colour is sky blue. There is no need to move away from our historic colours (other than chasing quick money at the expense of our history and traditions).

Any truth in the rumour that the kit will be based on this.....

Garbage. Wtf would any intelligent business person (which they very much are) just decide to completely rebrand our legendary shirt colour for no reason what so ever? It'd cost millions, not return that much revenue and piss the entire fan base, probably globally, off. If they do it I'll hold my hands up, but I think y'all are overreacting big time

I really hope you’re right. My take is that they’re saying, for that competition, we’re fucking off sky blue and going with two new colours!!

I think fans would boot off big time if that were true.

100%.

Some turds have very short memories and show a complete lack of respect to Sheikh Mansour.

However, the club can show more sensitivity to our roots, history, tradition and Mancunian fan base, which the Sheikh referenced in his first message to fans after his investment !!

I doubt the Good Sheikh is sat there dreaming up shit like this.
This is a marketing team's wet dream. Sadly they are being indulged too much by the higher echelons within the club.
To be honest, even being 4 hours away from the first game in Philadelphia, I think my physical participation in this tournament won't even get me as far as the end of my street. The TV is the most likely location for watching it.

Mansour will have absolutely no involvement in anything at City.

At a guess, he will probably have quarterly formal meetings with Khaldoon to get info on how the club is doing with maybe the odd phone call in between, and annual informal meetings with Pep. His staff will inform him of how his shares are looking and he’ll maybe watch the odd game on tele if he’s free.

That will be the top and bottom of it.

City are probably well down in his list of business ventures and political work.
