City & adidas

Never knew that. Why did he refuse to wear the three stripes?

He was sponsored by Puma. Some contractual issues I believe.

They make some nice shirts for other teams in the City Football Group.

With Puma, I don’t see why last season’s home shirt wasn’t a recent classic. I regret not buying it.

Don't think three white stripes on sky blue shirts looks that good

The peak era for football shirts was the late 70s to early 80s for me
Since then it's got silly and boring
I don't see the point of ever moving to adidas
Unless they designed something that was spectacular

They make Bordeaux shirts and they're really nice:

There's no justifying this shit though...

That alone should have seen the designer never work again.

A minimalist classic

It says Man City on it. It’s a disgrace. Replace that with the badge and it is definitely a belter. There was no reason to put the name of the club on that template that season, other than the fact the designer must have been a proper bell end.

Never knew that. Why did he refuse to wear the three stripes?

Because Cruyff was one of the first players that got paid to wear clothing of the brand. In this case Puma. He was also a very loyal person.

Cruyff as rebellion as he was, also took care of the other teammates by insisting they got paid for playing a WC tournament. And stood up to the Dutch FA.
In those days very unusual.

Whatever you think of the design, the Adidas shirts have a much better fit than Puma.

I like a lot of the Puma shirts, but I'd take Adidas in a heartbeat. Only downside is that Adidas off-field stuff is just dull and predictable.
