Next seasons home shirt (allegedly)

Isn't that what your friends say about you whenever you meet up with them?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Inter have long been established that. Atletico I'm not sure your right there.

Each club has unique circumstances. Many of our fans want Manchester to be prominent, this probably factored into this badge design (albeit not the main reason as we know Football club made it cluttered). Real are more than likely referred to as Madrid in and out of Spain because Real, is used by many spanish clubs so if you like their case is the opposite to us going with just 'City'. Real being an honour bestowed by the crown, it's not just simply a chosen name either.

The club is clearly trying to push a worldwide CFG 'City' brand but it's a bit at odds with fans that want us to proudly present the club's unique identity.

The point I was trying to make anyway, was if it's a partly a case of using 'City' because it's shorter and really easy to say (like Inter) as oppose to Manchester which could be seen as a bit long-winded (hence, "Man City") - well that's not really the case because foreigners do refer to either club as just Manchester, like people here say Madrid.

With the rags in a trough (which hopefully continues for time eternal), we have the opportunity at this time to establish "Manchester" with ourselves - if the club wanted to.

Good chat and I'm not being arsey, I love talking football but I think I'm absolutely right about Atletico. There are numerous Athletic, Athletico and Atleticos in Spain but in Madrid they like to be what they are rather than connected to Real by Madrid. I've read about it.

You're older than me? Hahaha... do one twinkle... old enough to be your dad... in fact, what's your mum's name?

As for the kits, yep people did moan about the soundwave kit, you fuckwit – check back if you can be arsed... I wasn't one of them, I didn't mind that kit it was Skyblue and White. The Reebok kits were shite, but had minimal navy blue, which made them look less like Coventry, but were moaned about too – they came before the explosion of social media though.

As for embarrasing, you know what is embarrasing pal... you and your fucking apathy to this subject. Yeah, we all agree that the Sheikh has done wonders for this club, we can never thank him enough... doesn't mean the heritage of the club should be changed... look at Vincent Tan at Cardiff for the prime example.

So yeah, the kit is out there and people will/will not buy it as they want, but this is a thread to discuss the kit – you don't see why? Fair enough, but why be a nob about it, simply say you're not arsed or don't comment at all

Mate what's embarrassing is that you needed to resort to calling me a fuckwit, making remarks about my family and becoming aggressive when speaking about a football shirt just to try and get your point across, someone of your age should really know better.

R.e. Vincent tan he changed Cardiff from blue to red hardly the same is it. Our shirts still blue although with navy sleeves so wouldn't say that was a stain on the clubs heritage in anyway.

I wasn't saying what I said to be a nob, it was simply an observation of how many grown men are so emtional about navy sleeves and flapping about how there not going buy it and how there going to convince City to change it. Ha.

Regardless what ever shirt you choose to wear to matches I'm sure it will look beltin with your Burtons jeans, primark hoodie, the trainers your mrs (or Mr) bought you and that well earnt beer belly.

All the best gramps.

haha that shirt is bloody awful

Not read all the posts back but the colours of it remind me of the 84/85 kit, the 5-1 v Charlton promotion kit.

Absolute wank, thought that when I saw the mock ups and the actual hasn't made me change my mind.
After clicking on the link for the weekend event, one of the main taglines is 'A kit reimagined' I fear they have thought this up as some new concept to launch along side the badge as our future permament template. God I hope not.

Its a nice shirt IMO , be better in one color. Can live with the Navy sleeves for one season but get the feeling this could be a regular look for whatever reason going forward

All of this isn't strictly true though is it? In Spain, Atletico Madrid are referred to as Atletico. Real are known as Madrid. Referring to Atletico as just Madrid would get the back up of any self respecting Colchonero.
Similarly in Italy, AC are known as Milan or Milano. Us English called the blue and blacks Inter Milan but their official name is Internazionale.
Today I flicked my desktop calendar over to July and was met with a picture of Bert Trautmann flying through the air with a backdrop of a packed, uncovered Kippax terrace. There at the top, proudly fluttering in the Moss Side breeze was a giant flag with the legendary "CITY FC" emblazoned across it.
I think some of our fans have worried about the other lot far too much over the years and feel that if we don't slap the name of our city across everything, people might forget that we are from Manchester.

Actually that is very wrong.
Officially their name is 'FC Internazionale Milano'. Check their website

Agressive... now you are an embarrassment if you think that was aggressive for fucks sake! Dear me, bit sensitive aren't you... and I thought you were a funny lad with your attempt at humour in your first post, which by the way you aimed at me, and wasn't exactly endearing. If you're gonna throw shit around, don't get all arsey when a bit gets thrown back!
I already stated that the Vincent Tan remark was an extreme to show the disregard some people have... but what would stop the owners changing the strip if they desired? Maybe the don't like white and want navy and sky stripes!

Reading this post again, clearly show's you haven't got a clue! Who's flapping? Saying I don't like the kit isn't flapping!
Who's saying that not buying it will convince City to change their minds? Not me fella... have a read eh!
But what may change their minds is us letting them know we don't like the kit – worked with the badge

Oh, and what the fuck's wrong with Burton Jean and Primarni gear? And what's the difference if it's Mr or Mrs... you a bit 'uncomfortable' with that?

P.s. Sorry if you were upset by the terms 'nob' and 'fuckwit' – I actually don't see them as nasty names, more playful... didn't realise you were such a sensitive soul!
