Probably because Umbro didnt have a vast client list compared to Nike. Umbro could have a small set of templates each year to supply kits to their clubs, where as Nike has a lot more, need more templates, so some will be hit and miss.
Some think when with Umbro, we had 'exclusively' designed kits. When in fact we shared them with Blackburn, England, Southampton etc. So its the same with Nike, some templates might be ours, some wont be. Thats why there's more 'faked' Nike kits, cos there is more templates out there to randomly think, "oh ... this could be the next City shirt."
But tbh ... i dont think i'm going to like the new Home shirt. May as well get the French shirt and replace the badge with a City Badge, then i'll have something that i'll like.
