new kit '14-'15

[markbmcfc]

I really don't see a problem with people of any age or gender sporting City's shirt, and therefore caring what it looks like, in the right circumstances.

In my view, the image of a bright, sunny, warm day at the Etihad and the crowd is predominantly sky blue is a fantastic sight. On the other hand, i've seen people go to a City game in a shirt, or worse, a red t shirt. It works both ways. Dress like your going out on a night out, at the Etihad - is far 'sadder' than turning up in a City shirt. Obviously, if your a grown man and wear a full kit to the etihad, you are clearly a twat.

In the same way on a night out, or even during the day on a non match day walking round town in a City shirt - is a bit on the sad/tacky side.

It seems pretty simple and obvious to me that there is generally an etiquette to wearing football clobber.

Not sure why people look down on others that like to wear their City shirt to the Etihad, I wear mine with pride and it feels wrong not to wear it. Therefore, I'd prefer it not to be hideous. Nothing to do with fashion.

Sometimes I wear mine, sometimes I don't.

But I'm mindful, particularly on European nights (for no logical reason) that it's impressive when there's a clear visual impact of one team's colours. There's something about seeing all that sky blue that lends itself to creating an intimidating atmosphere.

By intimidating, I mean impressive and spectacular, not threatening!

Scarves help, but it's not the same as a shirts. Sadly, European nights are usually too cold for just shirts.

On matchday as a fan you wear a Citytop. Final. Done so eversince 76.
I've always prayed that if there was to be a God, someday he would repay me for sticking to City and wearing the top on matchday. Ok, with Sheik Mansour he probably overdid it, but I won't complain ...

Derby County getting the kit we should be having;

Its a white shirt with a black collar. Dull and boring, anyone who pays £50 for that is a proper mug in my opinion

You mean, in the same way as our '09 kit was a blue shirt with a white collar.I presume that was dull and boring too?

I understand your point, but a lot of people myself included like to go for a few beers before/after the game and making a session of it so wearing a city shirt just isnt possible without going home and changing

When Sergio slammed THAT goal past QPR , i wasn't thinking ...'yeah thats great but if only we'd wore white shorts instead of Blue'…...White shorts / Sky blue shorts , does it actually fuckin matter ?
its all about trophies ,not what colour shorts we play in , FFS

We'll turn up in red on the first day then if it doesn't matter.

Ask Arsenal fans how they'd react if they turned up in red shorts.

Who mentioned the colour red ? , obviously City shouldn't turn out in red shorts .

and wtf have Arsenal got to do with it ? ,

we've won more in the past 3yrs than ive seen in 44yrs of watching City , and people are complaining about Sky Blue shorts ........jesus wept

Yeah. On the bright side it looks like it wont be made of recycled plastic bottles.

To be honest the home one doesn't look too bad. Not so sure about the away kit.

You have to wonder why people with apparently zero interest in the subject are:

1. Reading the thread
2. Posting in the thread

Fair point, although as the second largest thread on Blue Moon, outside of Yaya, I wondered if something significant had taken place.

Summer mate, and the transfer forum is rather barren. Folks just killing time.
