City's New Kits - 2019/20

[Mancini22]

Calling @Gary James ...

1880 St Mark’s Church forms a football team which would later evolve into MCFC.

1884 The first known ‘City shirt’ is created – in black, with a Maltese-style cross. Some say this is because of the club’s strong links with Freemasonry in the 1880s, others believe the white cross proves the link with St Mark’s was still strong.

1887 St Mark’s team evolves into Ardwick AFC and moves to Hyde Road.

1889 An explosion at the nearby Hyde Road coal mine results in the death of 23 miners – Ardwick and Newton Heath play a friendly match under floodlights in aid of the disaster fund.

1892 The second division of the English Football League is created, with Ardwick AFC as founder members.

1894 Ardwick AFC reforms as Manchester City Football Club, in a bid to represent the whole city.

Are these not the same ‘leaked’ photos as the ones 20 pages back?

Does anyone know if we're actually going to be playing games in this kit, or is it just a fan's souvenir?

It isn't great, but I'd prefer to watch the team play in this than the Burnley.

Community Shield v Liverpool?

Don't know but I thought maybe the game closest to the date we were formed, not sure what date that was.

Not sure our owners would be loving doing marketing back home with that big white cross everywhere.

Don't sell it in the UAE then.

Or, are you saying the people there aren't reasonable enough to look at a shirt and not be incensed at seeing a cross? I'm fairly certain most people in Europe, and North and South America aren't angry or even upset when they see the crescent on Turkey's or Algeria's badge.
