Next seasons home shirt (allegedly)

[Shaelumstash]

The bizarre thing about all this is how easily it could be fixed if City or Nike listened to opinion.

The shirt seems to have split us. Many people don't like it but a lot, myself included, quite like it. It's certainly not what I'd choose but having seen the football headlines picture, I think it's smart.

The thing that almost everyone agrees on is the shorts and socks. Give that shirt white shorts and sky blue socks with navy turnovers to match the sleeves or navy socks with sky blue turnovers and it'd be really good.

Nike seem to value their template over all of this though and as a result, have turned the fans against their products. It really wouldn't be difficult even at this stage to give us different shorts and socks.

They did it last season with the ghost green kit which was launched with black socks Tha the team never actually wore. They could rectify this kit and still stick to their template shirt and far more people would be happy.

I agree with this mate.

City don't wear navy blue sleeves, it's not a City thing. But England don't wear blue sleeves either. As a one off if Nike want every single team in the world to have different coloured sleeves, for whatever reason, I can live with it as a one off.

As you say, if the shirt was teamed with white shorts and blue socks it would be fine.

But giving us a weird shirt, and then giving us shorts that aren't City and then giving us socks that aren't City is just too much in one go. It's a triple whammy of things that aren't part of our identity.

We really need to have this Cityzens home kit consultation now, this shouldn't be allowed to happen again.

Why don't people post in the previous seasons kit topics because it's exactly the same discussion over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again

OK forum police. Please send me a link to the thread I should use for my next comment?

I think the picture of the kit below makes the kit look better than the earlier leaked pictures that looked like they were taken in someone's garage.

The colours don't look as dull.

Agree that it would look better with white shorts though.

I can see this top being the one but with the sleeves sky blue yet a tiny different shade due to different material. And I expect short to be same color as top with probably white socks. It's pretty much like other Nike outfits you see appearing.

You mean it's dogshit! Looks like a training top to me and I'll be aghast if it does turn out to be our kit for next season. Entirely in keeping with most of Nike's other efforts though.....

I've made the first step today towards asking someone in the know - Nike wise - why they don't take what us fans would like onboard. I'll report back if I get anywhere.

It's all down to personal taste I guess. I think the navy socks still look great when the shirt has got white trim.

To be honest mate, the big one for me is white shorts. If we had white shorts I'm not overly fussed about the socks.

Sky blue shorts automatically make it a non-City kit to me. Just looks ridiculous. It's Coventry's colours and looks like pyjamas, not Manchester City.

I think we can all agree on the shorts, have to be white.

And likewise the shirt, all sky blue, white trim.

The navy sleeves on this season's new kit are an abomination and the only way it could be less of a Manchester City kit was if it was red.
