City's New Kits - 2019/20

[Deleted member 77198]

Just think 20 years ago these colours were not synonymous with us when first brought out

Now they are synonymous for where we have come from and how far

Away kits can change but home kit must always be traditional

Light blue shirt, white shorts, either light blue socks with MAROON turnover or dark blue socks

I wouldn’t say maroon on the socks was particularly traditional for City. We’ve had maroon on the socks for just 9 years of our 125 year history. We’ve only had maroon turnovers on the socks for 5 years of 125.

We’ve had white socks for 7 years. And have been wearing white socks away from home when we’ve worn our home shirt this season.

And UKIP...

Yeah, that's everyone's first thought when they hear the colour purple mentioned UKIP. Hmmmmm.

Yes but out of them seasons we won the league in 68 wearing maroon turnover so synonymous with us

Majority City fans want either light blue with maroon or dark blue

Purple Ronny, Ribena and so many other wonderful things. Never liked it on a City kit though.

From the survey done a couple of years back, the majority wanted sky blue. Second was sky blue with maroon and third was dark blue.

I think the reason people see it as memorable is because it was on the socks when...

- Winning the league in 1968.
- Winning the FA Cup and breaking the trophy-less streak in 2011.
- Winning the league with 100 points.

Some of the greatest moments in our history basically. A lot of people would also say that the 68 kit is almost the definitive Manchester City kit. I wasn’t even born then but when I see Colin Bell in that kit I can’t help but think ‘that’s Manchester City’s proper kit’.

This time of year and bluemoon just wouldn't be the same without the annual socks and shorts colour row. Soothing in its predictability

What of it? Are you just being "edgy" or is that a major concern to you and all you think of when you see the colour?

Loads of brands, clubs and organisations use the colour.
