New home kit?

[Gary James]

I wasn't at the launch (never seem to get an invite), and so can't say what the kit looks like at all, but I really hope someone pops up later today to say: "sorry, about the joke with the shorts - they were the ones we rejected. We're having white as usual because that's our identity. We're MCFC."

Let me just put you on notice now that this time next year Umbro will produce a kit with sky blue shirt and white socks with the advertising bollocks somewhere along the line of ..
' We have listened to the fans and returned to the traditional kit design', etc , etc
repeat til fade.............

If you look at the new training stuff - the shirts are exactly the same as England and the template is also being used by Sunderland.

Not so important but a bit of a shame
Umbro's stuff has been great so far

Party's over on that front I'm afraid

I love overreactions to trivialities in the middle of the night.

At the end of the day I care more about the living bits of goo wearing the things on the pitch that the actual kits.

Glad someone else sees it like me. I couldn't give a rat's arse about the kit.

Good to hear MES is still being MES though. I wouldn't expect anything else.

Sorry fella, but you should give a rat's arse - first impressions count. Our owners want to market us now as a 'global brand'... well the first thing you know about global brands is that they are consistent. Look at the biggest world brands... Coca Cola... logo not changed really since it's inception. McDonalds the same, Shell the same etc. etc.
Now carry this over to football - the biggest 'brands' in football - the Rags... kit not changed in the last 50+ years. Liverpool, Barca, Juve, Real Madrid... even the Arse - the same.
Now look at our kit over the last 50+ years.... we're all over the place!
We need to build a strong City identity over the World as part of our plans - as such we should have a defining strip - sky blue shirts, white shorts, sky blue socks with maroon turnovers - NO navy blue anywhere!!!
Last season's kit was perfection - the team from appearances alone oozed class... especially coming out before kick-off in the Mercer jacket... whereas this seaons... fucking terrible!!!

That ^^ wasn't really a kit!

That was a day the proper white shorts were still in the wash, and we had to rummage in the "spare short" box...and found those.

A bit like forgetting your kit at school...

Trivial though it might sound, I'd like to start a campaign to get rid of the blue shorts; the club are usually very good in listening to our grievances.

In our first year as a Champions League club, mixing with Europe's elite, we're compromising our identity by changing a key component of the kit. You don't see Madrid, Milan or the Rags messing around with their club colours. Apart from anything else, blue shorts in the Premier League era represent a pretty vivid reminder of that awful, awful year under Pearce which ended with us only marginally averting disastrous relegation; not to mention, as Gary astutely pointed out, a near terminal decline in the 70s and 80s.

Let's make this viral, people, and make sure the club know about it.

You don't mess around with traditions as fundamental as this.

Count to who though? Have you seen this years Barca kit? It looks like something Errea would make for a Sunday league team. Does it change my view of Barca though? No, does it balls. Who cares what anyone thinks about a kit? It won't make oone iota of difference to the club.
