City’s New Kits

[KingGeorge]

Yeah I would avoid red. I associate it with Liverpool and United.

I like this years home kit put the shirt itself is made of really poor quality material. Bought the away players shirt for my Dad and even the quality of that left a lot to be desired. Still have a couple of Umbro shirts and the difference in quality is night and day.

Couldn't agree more, i love my umbro shirt but so wish it didn''t have the fucking phoenix/eagle/sesame street character on it

Sign of the times, almost nothing is made as well as it used to be, from clothes to shoes to cars to houses.

Never understood why they don't have a kit design competition on the City website and then narrow it down to say 10 entries and let the fans vote for their favourite.

Red Star Paris football conducted a similar process & the shirt design turned out surprisingly nice.

Hereford had three different designs and let fans vote. Kappa manufacture them.

Because fans would pick something very similar each and every season. Same with away kits too.

Like it or not they have to differ in design each year to sell. We are the fastest growing kit sellers in asia and the designs have to be kept as fresh as possible. Left to the fans and it wouldnt differ much to the plain blue with a white rounded collar every year

Also, puma pay £50m a year to sell our kits, its on their toes to get a return on that , even though they make a big loss each season, they wont put the trust in designs in anyone but themselves. The club get very little in the way of input even

The home kit is a much lighter blue and the away kit trim is maroon rather than red

This is how you end up with Boaty McBoatface

Given how sub boaty mcboatface some of puma's efforts have been I'm not sure that's too bad a thing.

It's true that they are designed for kids to buy and wear but we still have to look at the bloody things!
