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!!!

First impressions on who?

You think that people watching Champions League football in Asia will put on a City game and go "Uh...look at that all blue kit. Fuck this, I'm turning over watching Barcelona instead"?

The only relevance the way the kit looks has on Manchester City is the fact that the more it sells then the more cash we make. And last year's hardly sold because it didn't look any different to the previous one.

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.

Would your petition signatories be willing to fund the 'pulping' of the thousands and thousands of blue shorts that have already been manufactured? Just accept that it's too late this season, but hopefully they don't make the same mistake again.

Having said that, if we were to win the Champions League in this kit (very unlikely I know), there'd be petitions to keep the lucky sky blue shorts for next season!!!

Oh God. The melodrama of the modern day multimedia football fan.

Don't waste your time.

Wonder what the squad think of the kit?

I guarantee you 100% the squad give as much of a rat's arse as I do.

I'd agree, I doubt the squad really care. If they were being made to play in an abomination of a kit, horrible clashing colours etc, then they may have an opinion, but it's City blue and, overall, not all that bad, so I doubt they care.

barca have changed there shorts from blue to red and so forth so its not to say we are setting precedent here. i havent seen the shorts yet so i wont pass judgement but city have played in all blue and been shit but they've also played with white shorts and been shit. People have complained in the past about the last 2 season kits being to similar to pay money twice, so from that point of view i think its a good thing the club have went for something different. I must admit i like the home top more so than the away even though the away has tradition behind it.
