New home kit?

[glen quagmire]

Relatively new to this forum ( 1 year ) but if there is one thread where some of the "normal blokes" on here lose the plot & perspective, not to mention sound like a bunch of mincing women, this is it.

(...." I don't like the collar!"......" Aaahhhh the socks are stripy"......" the shorts are blue!!! sobs.... " but we always have blue!!" .... " it makes my bum look big..."

FFS! it's s football kit, not Kate Middleton's wedding dress. More to the point it Manchester City's kit,.....the shirt we "dream of wearing".

What's not to love.

Quick log out and never come here again! You are way to sensible to post on here.

Go...shooooo shoooooooo.

Top post fella.

Forgot to mention, that there's a good chance most of you will look pretty hideous whatever it looks like. ; )

Eh?

How the fuck is Mancini in this discussion?

To be fair, it was you who brought it up in response to one of his earlier posts.

No I didn't. I gave two examples of what I believe to be issues of more importance to City's season than the bloody kit.

One of which was a reference to Mancini's style of play, which he then replied to.

Most of the fat middle aged cunts whining like kids wouldn't get into the shorts whether they were blue, white or fucking pink ;-)

It was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time though a bit embarassing as he was sat next to me and he was attracting more attention than the Umbro fella on stage.

His rant started the minute he walked through the door and covered topics as varied as 'Mike Doyle should have kicked George Bests head off' through to 'that Liam knobheads suddenly a big blue eh?' . His views on stripey socks and engrained soundwaves were a continuation on that theme.

"Come on Mark. Let's go outside for a smoke"

Possibly my finest hour. Especially as when we got outside Cressa from the Roses was there!

"....and the soundwaves represent...." (MES blows loud raspberry) Absolutely hilarious.

Big blue, Cressa. Used to use my season ticket sometimes as he was a mate of a mate. Was he at the event or just hanging round Oldham street? He used to be as much a part of the furniture there as Afflecks Palace.

The only City "tradition" is a sky blue shirt, and even that has been varied shades and had hugely varying trim.

We've had maroon socks, navy socks, striped socks, sky blue socks. We've had plain white shorts, shorts with trim and for periods in our history we've had blue shorts.

When I grew up City wore all sky blue with umbro trim.

It isn't a sacred cow, it doesn't matter a jot. Worry about something important like how we're going to replace Tevez or whether we will change our italian style.

Life's too short mate...

Well different things are important to different people. White shorts is a 'sacred cow' to me, we've worn them for 108 years and blue for 9, so blue shirts is not the only "tradition".

As ridiculous as you might find me being arsed about white shorts, it pales in to absolute insignificance compared with how ridiculous I think you hating Mancini is.

We play possession football, as do most of the top teams in Europe. Mancini has made us 10 times the team your boyfriend Lesley did.

Les was a complete failure as City manager and the sooner you stop staring out of rainy windows pining for him while listening to 80s power ballads the better.

Eh?

How the fuck is Mancini in this discussion?

ps I thought Hughes was a terrible manager, but it really isn't revevant to this thread.

Hope you get over the blue shorts.

Are you for real?

Give over, sweet jesus. Thought better of you.

To illustrate my point, look at this diagram and see if you can identify the teams...



I'll bet you can name every single team - as they keep their kit the same!

No if you was to ask someone to illustrate our kit... what do you think they'd do?
I think it'd be this...



So why can't City and Umbro grasp that?

Yeah I understand that, but I got all of the teams in your illustration by looking at the shirts, not the shorts.

I'm struggling with the bottom line...I've got (L-R) West Brom, Leeds, Crystal Palace...then it looks like a Warrington RL kit...?

"Baz, I'm appalled at City shitting on our tradition like this!"
