Really??

Also got the home one from the same set. Both XL but enormous. It was the 90s!

Can't see any on eBay, might list it/them, but will take offers.

I'd be quite happy to sell it/them as tbh I'll never wear them again. Bad memories. Long story.

I remember the laser blue being suggested to allow City more floodlit lower league home games... and be prepared for dingy away games. Was in secondary school and it felt like City became reinvented... rejuvenation... and Typical City all at once.

Liked the laser for that initial, penultimate season and final Maine Road season. Other times it looked bobbins.

The Laser Blue kit is my all time favourite. Reminds me of Ali Benarbia too... :-)

In itself I dont like the laser blue now. But during the 90s it felt to me like the kit was gradually getting paler and more washed out looking, and equally our performances were becoming more and more insipid.

As such, I really liked it when we launched the first laser blue kit. It felt like we were trying to break from how shite we'd become. It almost felt like reinventing ourselves, as we really had become a bit of a joke - it was the start of our return.

I gave this shirt to my mum, who sadly passed away just after christmas last year. So it's now back with me here in the US and is draped over the chair next to me for every match. Just so mum can always be there with me,in spirit, watching our beloved football team together.

I recall the City magazine echoing the view of kit paleness of the kits and performances too. The defibrillator that was laser blue worked, albeit after teething trauma and drama. It got us to the Premier League twice. The new ground was the perfect time to go back to sky blue. Something borrowed*, something blue, something old, something new...
