It has no bearing on our support of course, but that's wholly besides the point.

It completely undermines our heritage, it makes us look as if we have no tradition. Nike treat us as if we're some tinpot club, some blank canvas they can do whatever the fuck they want with.

It's wholly disrespectful as far as I'm concerned.

And we have no continuity with club colours and template under these clowns and that affects the way we're viewed abroad.

It reinforces the impression that we have no heritage and give weight to that jibe, we don't even have consistent club colours for fuck's sake. It's a joke.

I've genuinely spoken to newer blues online, from abroad, who don't know what our traditional colours are.

And how could you blame them really, given the complete mish mash they've been over the past several years?

It's a piss take IMO, and I think it's about time we got to grips with these clowns.

You do love a good rant, is there anything left that you haven't ranted about ?

Its a shirt, not a very nice one (assuming its true) imho, so vote with your wallet and don't buy it, that's the simple option.

If we win the PL/CL double in it, in the grand scheme of things who gives a f**k ?

It's not about buying it mate, I'm not coming at this from a personal perspective, I wouldn't buy it anyway. It's about our identity.

Every neutral can identify those clubs. I don't think you could say the same of us.

Our kits are a mish mash of colours and templates every single season. This is arguably the worst of the lot in recent years.

Sporting Lisbon, Crystal Palace, Rotherham, Notts County, Everton, Leeds and AFC Wimbledon are hardly world renowned mate.

Quite a number of clubs play in some of those kits. I'm sure if you put a sky blue, white shorts, and sky blue socks on, most would identify it as City. Clubs like Barcelona have had their shirts changes from stripes, to halves and hoops and yet they are still distinguishable as Barcelona, just as we will be recognised as City regardless of sleeve colour.

Anyway, I blame those who like navy socks. They have identified our home colours as sky blue, white and navy blue and that's what this kit is ;-)
