New Kits 2018/19

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.

tbh the neckline and button I can live with as I like a grandad collar now and again.
It's the bloody sleeves again being a different colour that makes it shite.

Was lookinh forward to a sky/white/navy return, but Nike have ruied the shirt while perfecting the socks
 
Signing with Nike was a worse decision than signing Jack Rodwell.
 
This hasn’t been ‘designed’ it’s just been thrown together with out a single thought.

Do we get a % of kit sales or just a flat fee?

Just thinking a nice kit that would sell could technically mean a S/C freeze.

I thought we just got paid a fee off Nike each year. They then try and recoup that and more from the shirt sales

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 ;-)

That’s what I’m thinking

I’ll but the socks and shorts for running/playing footy/gym, won’t bother with the shirt

I realise some people like navy socks but I've always hated them. Not too keen on the shirt either this season. The shorts are the best bit of the new kit.

That statement is the easiest way to know that any ensemble it references is shockingly ugly.

Ive never liked navy socks either, always looked to me like we've turned up and forgotten our socks so borrowed them.

I think I posted something similar earlier. I don't understand the appeal at all but I guess it depends to some degree on the era in which you grew up watching City.

I think it’s what sets us apart as Manchester City from Celts Vigo, Lazio, Napoli, Zenit.

Always think our kits look at their best with navy socks

It’s not so much because it’s my era, it’s because we’ve had navy socks for about double the time we’ve had sky socks in our history... it’s literally our colour socks

We may well have done but they still look like they are an afterthought rather than part of a cohesive, well designed kit. There's a reason why nobody else uses that colour combination (that I know of anyway).

Because they respect that they’re City’s colours ;-)
 
It's truly hideous.

I don't like the amalgamated v-neck/grandad collar one bit.

Those sleeves are atrocious.

Who designed the template design on those sleeves? Looks like a seismograph anticipating an enormous volcanic eruption. They want sacking.
 
Not keen on the sleeves, but my son likes it and hes the one that buys them not me ,my wife likes it too, so there you go.

Historically it's our sock colour - very first City kit was sky blue shirt, white shorts and navy socks...

Though for me personally, sky blue with maroon turnover or will always be the preference.
