I'd be happy with maroon turnovers. I also don't mind navy trim on the home kit, and as I said navy socks would definitely be my first choice.
However, I'm adamant white should ALWAYS be part of our kit. More specifically the shorts should always be white.
Regarding the red Manchester CoA crest, I think people are being a bit precious not wanting any red whatsoever. Red is the colour of the Manchester crest, it's the colour of the Lancashire rose, both of which were on our kit until 1997.
Some people are going on like 97 was a great purge of all things red being associated with the badge. But most match going blues I know think the 97 eagle badge is an abomination and want to go back to an updated version of our previous roundel badges. (All of which included red).
Most of the match going blues that I know (with season tickets going back decades) think the eagle badge is excellent/progressive and is associated with far more success than the old fashioned round one from days gone by.
This is worth another quote.
Have they all got tattoos of it too?

I heard a couple of morons (no offense!) who sounded 12 but looked about 20 behind me (the usual people weren't there today) discussing the badge, they sounded like giddy kids as they said the "eagle is fantastic and shows strength and class as a strong bird and team". Sod that!
It takes all sorts I suppose. I've been going home and away for 30 years, never met a match going fan that doesn't hate the 3 stars. Can't remember meeting one who likes the chicken badge, but there's one or two who like the latin.
The survey only open to match going fans, I'll have you a friendly bet that among match going blues the round badge beats the eagle badge by a landslide.
