Next seasons home shirt (allegedly)

[RichardDunneOwnGoal]

Bit naive to think that City had no input in this!

Really is painful to think that the club signed off this utter shit show from Nike.

Brazil told Nike to fuck off when they tried to give them this template – they wanted to give them yellow shorts... but Brazil wouldn't have it – their kit is a classic, yet Nike wanted to shit on that tradition!
The Rags too... there's no way Nike would have give them this template - they wouldn't accept red shorts!
So, why do we not tell them to go fuck themselves too!

I guess Nike could turn round and say but City have a history of wearing blue shorts

The maroon/black thing hopefully is a keeper kit but it won't be a kit to go with the light/dark blue compo as (and I could be wrong) but we wouldn't wear a kit with 2 different colours of badges on it.

Yeah quite a bit actually. 76 to 85 and then 3 or 4 times since. In fact until I checked I didn't know about the blue shorts through 70's and 80's

Maybe you should google a bit more to find out City have frequently wore a sky blue short way before the Nike deal. And even the rags changed white with black shorts.

I also doubt very much Nike is interested in how the majority on here feels about the new kit. The sales that really matter are not in Manchester, England or Europe, but Asia.

we also had swales as chairman too at the time and we wouldn't recommend havin one like him again, just because we did it before doesn't make it a good thing to do again.

I totally get where you and @urban genie are coming from. Maybe I'm allowing the badge to cloud my judgement on the shirt.

My most hated City kit ever was the Stuart Pearce / Joey Barton kit with white sleeves and blue shorts. Simply not a City kit. Some weird Arsenal / Coventry hibrid.

Nike are making every single kit this year with different coloured sleeves so I knew we were going to get it. For me the darker blue sleeves look a million miles better than the white sleeves I mentioned above. Of course I'd prefer sky blue, but for one year as a complete one off I can live with it.

What I don't want to live with is blue shorts every alternate season. City seem to be trying to make this combination part of our every day identity and I'm not having it. Not City at all to me.

No they're not

I got your point, but because they are in a brief period of history doesn't make them right still, I don't balme nike for blue shorts that was umbros doing
