At first I detested the purple, then I liked it, and now having read everyone elses responses, I'm not too fussed. The concept of concept shirts, the way we have voted governments and a probable European election and so on, has made me cold to choice by fans - and people. In future, I hope to see those who put their concepts on computers to the designers. I hope that fans get their voice but we'll never all be satisfied.
I always remember the embossed offset word of City on a 90's Umbro kit, making me feel like the designer had one too many Two Dogs Alcoholic Lemonades. Some of our
away shirts in the 90s and 00s were abysmal. I just hope that every City short we have stands put from the crowd and shows who we are. I hope that the City Football Group allows each other club to be who they are too.
Plus points for the supposed blue/purple kit:
NO CREST MOUNTED ON A SHIELD.
NOT NIKE.
NOT GLOW IN THE DARK.
NO WEIRD RIBBING, PIPING OR LINES THAT JUST DON'T SEEM TO BELONG THERE
BOLD & STRIKING.
QUITE SIMPLE.
Royal colour. I like Ribena, Cadburys chocolate and
It can also mean " a need to appear unorthodox" - typical City.
Purple in the mindest can represent, "sensitive and compassionate, understanding and supportive, thinking of others before yourself - you are
the person others come to for help". I read somewhere that people may take advantage of those who like purple.
Purple is rare in a natural form.
We started the Premier League days with a purple away shirt.
Negatives: intermediate colour between red and blue; unusual in City's history. Surely maroon would have fitted better? Represents sexual frustration? Can represent priests too. Queen Elizabeth I didn't like anyone wearing it outside her family.
The 2018/19 away shirt was vile purple with orange. The 2007/08 away shirt saw how many wins? The 1992-94 away shirt wasn't exactly fashionable.
