New Kits 2018/19

Nike has seemingly stopped producing long-sleeves versions of shirts altogether (keeper shirts, excepted).

I suppose the logic behind it is that they have long-sleeve thermal layers available and, if it is cold enough for long-sleeves, it’s likely cold enough for the full layer under the shirt, so why make another version of the shirt few supporters purchase.

I have a few long-sleeve shirts from over the years, though, as I just liked the way they fit.

Same, re the fit. I've got a lot of the Umbro away kits in long sleeves and they're just comfortable, especially in winter.

My favourite is the Black and Yellow one from around 2009.

I heard a while back that our players complained about the Umbro kits because the material wasn't ideal for high intensity sport or warm weather. As beautiful as those kits were, I agreed. Going football training with one of those tops on bust out a sweat within minutes.

Strangely I find that more so with the Nike kits. I suppose it should be described as satiny but it genuinely feels like there is plastic in the material and that doesn't help you when sprinting or on a hot day.

You might be correct about the plastic. Maybe someone else knows more about this but I seem to remember Nike making a big to do about using recycled plastic water bottles in their football shirts.

I probably should know the rules but I've no idea what they are?

From the Revised, Abridged Bluemoon Forum Rules V. III (Amended 2011):

‘At such time that “vivid” imagery is referenced within a post, pictures proving the assertions of the referenced imagery must be provided with due haste, or a forum ban shall be enforced of a length not less than one day.’
 
Not when the camera was zoomed in on players, but when it was the view from the press box - did anyone else think we looked like Inter?

The 2012/13 long sleeve home shirt is one of the best fitting football shirts I own. So comfortable.

Back to the away kit, I thought it look stunning last night. Big fan.
 
this is only an attempt at a mock up online but could be something like this?

Seen an Orange 3rd Kit on twitter with Grey writing. Not sure if real or concept. Looks pretty official.

It looks shit so it’s almost certainly official! Good to see Spurs kit is as bad. Saw a few Rag shirts in the Traffic Centre yesterday - that looks awful too.

Failing to see what’s so special about either if you switch colours and give them us I’ll be absolutely sure someone would find summat to whinge about

Depends *which* colours. If it was orange and purple then yes, as they aren't really City colours. For some reason either Nike or someone at the club wants them to be... Then again once upon a time red and black stripes had nothing to do with us, nor the sash, nor maroon (or as Umbro called it, zinfandel!)

We had an orange and black away kit in the early 1960s

We’ve had numerous purple kits

We also had a yellow, maroon and white away kit in the 60s
