City's New Kits - 2019/20
- Thread starter MAG

I don't think I can repeat enough times that I 100% know what it is and I even like the design myself. All I'm saying is that it looks like something else too (and as someone else mentioned there are other associations with it too). From a global marketing perspective I think they will give it a miss. Apparently that makes me a snowflake even though I'm not offended, I'm totally relaxed about the situation and it is actually other people who seem to be bursting a blood vessel over it.

True story, I was at the apartheid musuem in Joburg on Tuesday and an angry looking white man with a mullet was admiring the AWB exhibit while wearing a black t-shirt with a huge iron cross and “Malta” written underneath.

One of the key areas for growth of the club's fanbase is the Middle East so however much we might point the club's history there is no way the club is going to sanction a kit with overtly Christian imagery on it - it would be PR suicide out there.

Fair comment,although i do find it odd that you seem to be the only one to make the association.
I do think i've seen it come up once before but honestly can't say when or which thread. Probably not worth trawling through to find it though as it wouldn't change the fact I'm in a minority of one or two people that thinks it's similar enough in appearance that I can't see us using it.

But wont sanction a kit marking our 125 years anniversary with a nod to the cross

To be fair the cross has absolutely nothing to do with the 125th anniversary of Manchester City.

True
But the point I was making that people feel the club wont put there name to a badge within a cross yet they sell merchandise with the cross
