What do we think of this?
They need to let him out of that overly lit, padded room. It looks like he is about to break.
 
I’ve had messages asking me about the new MCFC kits. I’ve not seen them so don’t know what they are like (only seen leaked images which may or may not be true of course) and can’t comment but it is worth saying this: It’s fashion and loyalty initially that dictates whether a shirt sells but it’s success, key moments, memory building days that make the kit part of club Folklore or not.

Two of the cult must have away MCFC kits that fans talk positively and fondly of were two of the most hated kits at the time of their launch. The 1968-69 red/black stripes and the 1998-99 day glow stripes. In 68 the Allison introduced kit was initially hated and fans sent letters to the club and papers complaining about it. Allison didn’t care and stuck to his guns and by the end of that season it was hugely popular. So much so that fans supported Allison when he insisted on wearing it in Europe and games where there was no colour clash (prior to this City always tried to wear blue only changing if there was a clash).

The 98-99 kit became popular as it became to signify City’s fightback and resurrection. So, for me, the significance and popularity of any kit comes on the pitch. I don’t get worked up about away kits these days. As a historian I have views on tradition but as a fan I just want my team to perform and make history whatever they wear

Well said Gary! With you 100% on this.
Everyone has different fashion tastes, so what some like, others wouldn't be seen dead in
