new kit '14-'15

[BlueMoonoverUS]

Just saw on twitter that Etihad will not be on training kits and that we might be getting new one like Nissan. Just like rags had DHL. Not bad considering FFP.

I've never understood what's - apparently - so wrong. People wear t-shirts. City's shirt is a t-shirt with our colours & club badge on it. What's so sad about wearing a t-shirt with your beloved club's colours & badge?
genuine question.

I have no genuine answer, either, to be honest.

It's perhaps sadder that we seem to have grown adults not just debating a t-shirt which simply has the club colours and crest on it, they actually want it to be the height of fashion, too?

Kids and young adults perhaps get away with it a bit more, as generally they are in better health.

As a uniform for any professional sports team, the sight of overweight adults letting it all hang out with a pie in one hand, fag in mouth and pint in the other, just makes me smile.

You can make exceptions for Wembley, as that's a day out and for fancy dress;)

In reference to my previous post, you're the user making the most detailed posts in the entire thread. Perhaps you should follow your own advise and leave rather than try to convey such a superior approach? Very sad.

Even sadder, I was asked a question, which I did the courtesy of replying to, and yet you now cite me for expanding on the opinion I have?

One which I admitted in the first instance was 'my stuffy opinion'.

Unbelievable!

I had yet to see your response when my second message was written. I probably should have just edited the original.

To be honest, you probably think I'm having a go but I'm just pointing out that users should be able to discuss what they want (within reason).

Fair do's. One man's junk is another's gold.

I'm off to the what you having for dinner thread?

Last question, please tell me the home shirt will be blue again;)

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

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.

I'm here because I searched your posts to see if there are any transfer updates. So you're to blame TH

You don't work for Google, Hombre?

Not trying to socially condition me, see how I react to stalking?

Shit, we've added another two pages to this thread.

As you were, chaps and ladies.

 

[dario2739]

Just glancing back through the last few comments is a big disappointment – Tolmie especially!
\Why can't people grasp the fact - it's nothing to do with what a fan likes to wear... whether it be a pot-bellied middle-aged man, or a kid – it's about how the players look and about the identity of the team.
If you don't mind us being pissed about with kits like a league 3 team, then fair enough!

 

[levets]

Seriously, how has this thread sparked so much debate?

I remember giving a shit until I was about 16-17.

We could play in lime green and as long as we were winning, that's all I want.

Just my stuffy opinion, but seems a little sad seeing grown men wear football strips?

And looks even worse on women wanting to be 'one of the lads', with pint to boot.

I understand some wearing the retro stuff, but new kits? Leave it to the kids.

Bollocks... not having that! Understand your sentiment about on field performances and agree... apart from the above any colour will do nonsense...

We weren't far off lime green in the 99 Play-off final.

And who can forget that traditional orange number we had under Hughes!

As long as the home shirt is blue, that'll do me.

Thanks for taking the time to answer mate. & feel free to smile at me as I like to wear them! ;) (though my favourite is my lucky sky blue polo)
anyway I think the whole thing has blown out of proportion in every way & lots of opinions are in fact exaggerated.

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.

 

[FanchesterCity]

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.

 

[eversince 76]

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 ...

 

[jimharri]

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

 

[panzer1311]

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.

 

[davymcfc]

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

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