new kit '14-'15

[SebastianBlue]

wish we'd get something as slick as this.

I wouldn't be a fan of the red, personally.

I jest, I jest. We do seem to generally get the afterthought designers.

It seems QPR have got the away shirt we should have got!

how long does the Nike deal last again?

It seems QPR have got the away shirt we should have got!

So it seems like if a club's badge is eccentrically shaped (us, QPR) then Nike has to use a crappy "shield" type thing that is larger than the badge. But Monaco did not seem to have that. Maybe due to a more compact/regular shape of the badge itself?

If that's how it works then we may have a stupid shield for however long is left on the deal.

As a collector of City and football shirts in general for many years I will get ours every year. But fuck if I'll buy any other Nike product if they keep sticking us with the shields

if we ditch the stars then Nike wouldn't use the shield.

until then, unless they can figure out a more cost effective way to reproduce the crest, gonna have to get used to it looks like. is it really that hard/expensive??

it's not that bad. it's not umbro though. that was a crest.

Never hated the 2003/4 kits...or the 1984 home shirt (which I've still got).

compare those to the rubbish nike are serving us.

City surely consult with Nike on the design.. I can't believe they 'serve something up' and we are obliged to take it if even we don't like it!

Just about to post the new Atleti kit, a thing of beauty....that Monaco kit is lovely too.

Look at Monaco's badge - that's not in a shield, and they've embroidered the fancy crown at the top it seems... looks like we're being fobbed off!
