New home kit?

[Pigeonho]

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...?

Boca Juniors

Completely agree with Dario, can you do a version of that City one with blue shorts? I'd think that was Coventry. If there was one with blue shorts and stripy socks I'd think 'I don't know who the fuck that it, but it's wank'.

Some on here seem to think we don't deserve the same respect as the other teams in your picture, I disagree. If Nike turned out a rags kit with red shorts and stripy red socks the "moody lads in black Primark coats" would be outside Nike's HQ causing absolute carnage.

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.

Give over, sweet jesus. Thought better of you.

I'm just pointing out a fact. You asked how Mancini came into the discussion and I'm telling you. And for someone who doesn't understand all the melodrama about the new kit, you're being pretty melodramatic about it ;-)

Im guessing Boca, but you were supposed to say Notts county, (insert team), Dagenham and redbridge..... and so on.

I'm enjoying every second of it ;-)

LOL at all the 'grown men' whinging about a football kit, caning it or defending it! Fuck sake it's a football kit!

Or am i correct in guessing that the average age is 8 or 9ish?

Respect?! Fuck me, how can white to blue shorts be disrespecting anything?! Also, do you not think the club have a say in this? Umbro would surely have asked for their opinion on it before going to manufacture them. Say for example its Cook and/or the players who said 'yeah boss, go with the blue', have they disrespected the club or just thought 'fuck it, lets have a wee change'?

As I've said before, would that be your reaction if we changed the shirts to white? Not one single person has come on here and said they wouldn't give a fuck if they changed the colour of the home shirt.

Would you "LOL" at people whinging that City should wear blue shirts? Afterall, it's only a football kit!

Apparently it's all 118's fault!
