new kit '14-'15

[blueinsa]

I don't buy kits so it shouldn't bother me but fuck me, they are both horrendous.

 

[Bluemoonbaldboy]

One word....horrific!

As for emailing the club I did last year to complain about the prices got zero reply. I'll be amazed if anyone does this time as well

 

[Chev Chelios]

The home kit looks like a kids pyjama set.

ffs! i enjoyed ribbing liverpool fans over the monstrosities they wore last season but, from what it looks like we'll be wearing next season, maybe i should have kept my mouth shut. if the shirt isn't bad enough, the shorts are absolutely crooked. it's actually put me on a downer for next season knowing we'll be turning out in that clobber.

 

[Utter bobbins]

Not sure about all the "anti-culture" comments about sky shorts.... I started following City in 1977 and we wore all sky blue every year after that I think until 1985-1986 when we brought in white shorts again.. so its not as big a heresy as some might say. Did we ever wear blue shorts before that?

Its the big dark blue shite thats all over the kit thats nothing to do with city which irks me

Hmmm

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

You should see what I sent them about last season's kits, didn't get the courtesy of a reply.

Different year same shite from blue moaners

It's a strange one, they ask us in the questionnaires about absolutely all sorts from the expansion of the stadium to what flavour pies we'd like. But when it comes to the colour of the kit, they just arrogantly dismiss the view of the fans.

Manchester City play in blue and white. Even during the years in the 70s when the TV companies asked us to change to blue shorts, we still had white trim. Next season will be the first time since the 1800s that the City kit will include no white whatsoever.

Would never happen at any other top European club.

Not at all. There's not been this level of disappointment in a kit, ever. Considering how expensive they are, how shit our deal with Nike is (QPR have almost the same size deal with their kit-makers), and the fact we're a worldwide club now and our image should be a certain way...Nike are taking the piss!

Seriously.

Your now questioning the our powers that be on their commercial deals

 

[AdamoTheGreat]

once again, we should sign with Adidas. They wouldn't fuck it up this badly...

Pretty sure ETIHAD wants dark text so it can be seen. Pretty sure I heard a few years back that was the main reason for the switch. My goodness though a lot of you feel more passionate about what the boys are wearing than how they perform. It'll be alright. Even if they change back to white, someones not gonna like the trim, or think it's too tight, or not be made of the right poly, or the collar is too thick, or the badge is too low, or the tag scratches their neck, or the shorts are wrong, or we don't wear hoops. I would much rather wear white shorts sure, but like it or not we wont the league in blue shorts so that is pretty much ingrained into our history now. Long story short, I am not going to lose too much sleep over it, and suggest you all do the same.

Re: New Nike Kit 13/14? (Merged)

New shirt spotted in Camden. Ha love the bootleg shirts.

Could this replace the classy number in all new shirt threads?
Proper shit.

You know things are bad when a shit knock-off like this is better tha the actual shirt!

Crap post.

Said it before, would you be happy if we had an all red home kit?

How do you think Arsenal fans would react if they came out wearing red shorts or Real Madrid came out wearing blue shorts?

It's about identity and tradition. Some people might not care about it but others and myself do.

You're right - somebody w8ll always find design faults, but that doesn't alter the fact our shirt should alway have white trim (if any) and our shorts should always be white.

I've seen messages about how it doesn't matter if no-one here buys the shirt, as it'll sell well in Asia or anywhere else we're becoming popular.
But if, at a televised match, the stadium is full of supporters wearing old Umbro shirts or anything other than the new Nike ones, then somebody's going to notice.

 

[Sir peace frog]

I think both the new kits are very very nice,really like the away kit will look very classy on,and the home kit is pretty tasty as well.

 

[Cellarite]

Sky blue shorts.

Wow. Just wow. Comfortably the worst kit we have ever had.

Are you really going to buy the shorts, though? Calm down and remember some of these genuine monstrosities:

Horrendous

Shocking

Poor

Very nice indeed

Iffy

Classic
