really! what colour is it ric? green again?Ric said:chase of spades said:Ric,did you see the long sleeve version,is it like the away....as in shit?
Or is it just like a normal looking long sleeve?
We weren't shown the long sleeved version I'm afraid.
Saw the keeper kit though, and the soundwave is much more prominent on that.

It's an abombination.
But I suppose if we win more pots this season, it will become a classic.
Look how many people still get nostalgic for the 99 play-off horror show of a kit.

Looks like someone's spilled beer over it. A nice kit like the away kit is a bonus but they can wear sackcloth for all I care as long as they win the league or another trophy.

I understand the logic for the blue shorts, we've got the black and red kit that obviously reflects our past glory and it was initially devised to inspire players because they were similar to the trademark AC Milan stripes. And now we've got the full blue kit to reflect the glory of... Er.... Coventry...

Re: Fuck off Umbro!
It's not about me not buying it, i'm a grown man, I don't wear football kits. It's about the history and identity of the club. As another poster put, imagine Real Madrid unveiling a full brown home kit next year, or the shite having red shorts and red stripy socks?
It would never fucking happen to them and the fact that Umbro and the City commercial dept think it's ok to fuck about with our kit is fucking disrespectful and patronising.
Would you be offended if we changed our name to Manchester Etihad FC? Or if we changed the colour of the home shirt to orange? Or if we moved to a stadium in Liverpool? To me it's the same thing.

Fuck right off Umbro, we're not fucking Coventry.
As another poster has said, imagine United in red shorts and stripy socks. Or AC Milan in Black and red checkerboard shirts with orange shorts and green socks. It wouldn't happen as that is not their colours.
City play in blue shirts, white shorts and blue socks. You don't fuck with that. Our first fucking season in the CL, the whole of Europe's eyes will be on us and we're wearing a fucking shite excuse for a Coventry kit. I'm fucking appalled.
I know some will come on here taking the piss saying it doesn't matter. Well it does to me. It's our history, our identity and they are fucking with it. The history of the club is important.
This to me is as big a deal as if they moved the club outside of Manchester or changed the Colin Bell stand to the Travis Perkins stand or something. It's fucking disrespectful to our history.
Calm the fuck down for fuck sake!
Jesus christ,if you dont like it,dont fecking buy it! End of!

I suppose City have historically played in blue shorts before (I'm sure Gary James can give more precise details) but it doesn't sit comfortably with me.
Should always be white shorts in my mind, but maybe that's just my generation as that's what I've grown up with.
Ultimately though I'm not really that arsed, as I've not bought a kit for 15 years. I'm sure we'll get used to it.
