Like I said navy socks or part of a collar/cuff as piping I like but as a third or away colour is not for me maroon is
in our away kits since the 50's to 90's were mainly maroon or red and black we even skitlrted with royal blue in the 70's. The navy blue has always been a trim or sock colour not a main colour of a kit until recently jesus we wore more yellow/gold away kits in the past than navy.I assume you were lucky enough to see the team in the 60s mate? Fans from that era seem to love maroon on City kits. Personally I can give or take maroon, it doesn't bother me but I'm not bothered either way.
"Navy blue being forced on us" just isn't true mate. Navy has been part of City's kit since the 1800s. It has been part of our kit for 80 years. Maroon was part of our kit for about 15 years during the 60s and 70s.
Far from navy being forced on us, it's an essential part of our identity. No other club in the world plays in sky blue shirts, white shorts and navy blue socks. It is completely unique to City and has been since the 1800s. Bring back the navy blue socks!!!
