Next seasons home shirt (allegedly)

[dario2739]

Sky blue/white/sky blue. Or,

Sky blue/white/navy

Nike need to keep some consistency with the look of the City home kit. This is the look of Man City. Of our brand. The way United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal for the most part don't change their color patterns much each year. Rightly so. With CIty, both Nike and Umbro for that matter, always felt the need to get creative with the home kit. Just keep it simple!

They can feck with the away and 3rd all they like but no need to modernize this classic look.

Totally agree.
You know what the Rags kit will be next season, you know what Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal's will be... yet ours is anyones guess most seasons!!! Nike and the Club need to stop fucking about with the Home kit – keep it the same... i'm not really arsed about the away kit!

Simply look at the teams that have come out with new Nike outfits (PSG, England etc) and you get a pretty good idea what our hometop will be like. It surely is skyblue as it has been ever since we walked in to the latest Umbro-area. Either with a bit of white, marine of black. Short will be either white or skyblue, as it always has been in the not to distant past. Look at the tops of the teams you mention and it is different every season in detail as is ours. You only need to be a bit more patient.

Barca get the same template but a nice kit.

If we want to really dig into historical kits the first blue kit City used was 'Cambridge Blue' - which is defined as Pantone 557. To me that colour has a slight tinge of green.

Or even grey...some of those earlier bell era kits devoid of the badge give an hint of grey...always thought it was just the material

A hybrid of these 3, and you're there.

Well firstly - pantone colours weren't invented when Cambridge blue was, but even if they were that would be wrong. Cambridge blue, was in fact sky blue - just as our shirts are. The yellowish tinge that cambridge blue now has was introduced to the rowing club in the middle of the last century by Alf Twinn (1950ish), when we were formed Cambridge had adotped sky blue.

It's suits Barca as there's no drastic difference in colour of the kit. If our sleeves are the same colour then Nike can do one. We have our identity through our home colours. It is our "brand" and Nike are cnuts for trying to change it.

I've always wondered do the club actually get any say in the design of the kits or are they fully at the mercy of Nike?
