I really don't understand how you can be a fan of our club and NOT be arsed about what the kit the team wear!!! From my earliest memories of going to Maine Road, the sky blue shirts and white shorts are a large part of what I love about City – it pisses me off that we have a kit manufacture pissing all over our heritage and identity, and the club allowing them to do it!
Like Dickie Davies has said, for all those apathetic fans on here – if we allow crap like this to pass, they'll continue taking liberties until it does look like that image!
We as a club are now in a period of unprecidented success – we have the money, the manager, the players to win trophies and leagues – with social media and the internet we have more exposure than ever... our identity is crucial in this day and age... and this season's Nike kit is just not City... even the people who say they don't mind it agree on that point!
The other point for me is that Nike wouldn't dare fuck about with the Rag's kit, they didn't mess with the Brazil kit. Liverpool's kit manufacturers (whoever they be) would never dream of giving them white shorts one year etc. etc. – we are a club now that is at the stage where our kit should not be fucked about with!
