Next seasons home shirt (allegedly)

[jazzy]

It has a city badge, what's not to like

I'll be honest, it's really growing on me especially that picture

Nowhere near as bad as the mock up with KDB as the over weigh model.Think it will grow on me, Nike obviously using the same theme of the England kit on their domestic kits this year, two tone shirts and sleeves and separate colour socks.

had a chance to create a stunner..

Why is it a fan on the Internet can outdo all the graphic designers at Nike?

The club really need to employ a talented fan like this.

You can see what's going on here can't you?

The way Navy blue seems to be increasingly rammed down our throats as a core club colour, even being in the new crest. Increasingly being thrust into home kits.

Forget sky blue and white, it's all about CFG generic branding across the board.

Never mind almost 130 years of history, we must be in line with some tinpot club from the states that has only existed 5 minutes.

Great.

Ever thought the club might have their own plans for the visual identity of the club? Not fucking pleasant based on recent years. 11/12, 13/14 & 15/16 all produced solid kits while 12/13 & 14/15 were monstrosities. Clearly 16/17 takes it to another level. Common theme; increasing implementation of navy & on one occasion black. Even if the shirt is mostly blue and white like this season, the sponsors had to be navy. I genuinely fear that New York is the pet project and City are almost the base which can be fucked about with.

Fucking hell this all sounds like I'm being ungrateful to the ownership. I'm really not, I'm just like many others in that I worry that the identity of the club is being fucked with completely.

Great.

Personally don't mind some navy being included. It's been part of our colours for 80 odd years.

Far from being "forced down our throats" recently, it's been a part of our identity for over 100 years ago.

Navy should be the third colour though. Only used for trim and socks. We should never have navy sleeves or shorts on a home kit.

Sky blue shirts with sky blue sleeves every time.

White shorts every time.

Socks either sky blue or navy blue, happy for them to alternate. But not white socks for me, that's Lazio.

I showed it to a completely neutral fan at work and she said "wow, that's fucking smart".

For the record it was full kit picture version I showed and not the faded one from the shop.

 

[HellasLEAF]

it's not a bad kit. Looks like most of the teams Nike sponsor are doing the darker shaded sleeves. Suppose that's their gimmick this year.

Badge looks nice. Will reserve full judgement until see it on players..

I know you're insistent on the Navy thing mate, but I don't agree.

Doesn't sit right with me. And as Garry James said, many of those examples of Navy socks come from black and white photos where they may well have been black.

Liverpool used to wear white shorts not even that long ago but from about the 60s on they stuck with a colour scheme of all red.

We need to do something similar IMO, not point to examples where we wore a particular colour scheme and then say it's part of our core colours.

We can agree to disagree like, but I think we should always try and aim for that look we had in the 60s, that's a classic.

That's the image that comes to mind for me, when I think of a 'proper' Manchester City kit.

If I had my way we'd stick to that template every season.

That is the one.
