New Kits 2018/19

[NorCalBlue]

It would've been okay if the shorts were blue as well, and with a dark blue button fly.

I've just watched this video and I have to say it makes me like it a whole lot more.

The collar is ridiculous and the sleeves are shite. The shirt looks pretty horrendous up close.

But I'm never going to wear it, so I'm not really arsed. The only way I'm going to interact with it is to see the players running around in it 50 yards away. And from 50 yards away, the shirt is the correct shade of blue, the shorts are the correct colour (white) and the socks are navy, which is City's most traditional colour, and my personal favourite.

The team will be playing in essentially the same kit as the first game I can remember in about 1987. Only this time instead of Neil McNab, we've got Kevin DeBruyne.

Don't be letting navy socks cloud the fact that new shirt is worse than any lecoq or reebok foisted upon us

This 87 one was beautiful

The new one is awfully shite and even proper socks cannot save it.

 

[Dunne's own goal]

Positives

White shorts
Navy socks look good

Negatives

Sleeves are horrible
Neck area doesn't look great

Overall

Much worse than the current 17-18 kit but better than the 16-17 kit, which was arguably the worst ever.

Great summary.
Who the fuck came up with the idea of different coloured sleeves??

You’ve been converted quickly!

What is the cut the club are offering you? ;-)

Your remit for the standard our kit should be, is a bit simplistic for me

Being blue isn't enough, being our sky blue shade of blue, with maybe navy trim alongside the white, white shorts and navy (white and sky blu) or sky blue (maroon and whote trim) socks

We have 4 traditional colours

Sky blue, white, maroon and navy for socks and trim

This monstrosity of a shirt is an insult to all of that as is the rumoured away kits.

I don't buy replica kits because I am past all that, but when our teams go on the field Iwant them to look as best as they can in our colours, not some cheap nile shite that insults my eyes

Well put – pretty much my thoughts too... I do, or should I say, DID buy the shirt for dossing about in or match days, but have only got one Nike shirt, and that was bought for me!
I can save myself a few quid next season too!

And, by comparison to the actual photo, edit the neck to be smaller?

What, Leroy's neck or the shirts?

What, Leroy's neck or the shirts?

Yes.

Haha, I’ve really not been converted, as I said, the shirt it’s is fucking horrendous. But I don’t wear shirts so I’m not overly arsed.

I’ve wanted white shorts and navy socks to come back for about 15 years, so I’m not going to let a deep V ruin that for me ;-)

Haha, fair enough.

I guess it is better to find ways to be happy than unhappy and endlessly moan, like me. ;-)

I think you may have just come up with the nickname for next season’s kit, though.

“Hey, remember when we won the treble in the Deep V kit? God, we played some bloody beautiful football in that horrifically ugly shirt!”

Yeh 87 to about 95 were the peak years for City kits for me. Maybe that’s just because they were the ones when I was a kid. I guess everyone remembers the ones when they were young most fondly.

The shorts and socks do save it for me, when I see Leroy flying down the wing like David White, I’m not going to be too concerned that the neckline is a bit too low.
