Puma - £650M shirt deal confirmed

[Ghandi's Flip Flops]

PUMA SPA Kings in the early 80's were the football boot to dream about - loved them and well before their time.

Definately. i got hold of pair of seconds of Newton Heath market and wore them till they literally fell apart a few years later.

Eh? What are you after? Laser blue coming back? We are playing in the right shade and have been for a decade.

Reply my bad I got shirt and shorts mixed up typing on a phone. Was trying to say I want a consistent kit same shade of blue shirt - you are right the last few years it’s been right but not always the case - laser blue yuk - always white shorts and the same socks to give us a consistent look that identifies us. At the moment we swap and change and don’t have an iconic kit like many other sides.

Ah right. Yeah. Totally agree. White fucking shorts. Blue fucking socks. Always.

Yep, the laser blue is - and never was - Manchester City in any way... I love the design of the Kappa home shirt from that period, but wrong colour – in sky blue it would have been a beauty

True. But when you look at the home kits of our great late 70s side they are a darker blue than we have currently. They are actually probably closer to the 'laser' Blue than they are to the current kit.

Nonsense, our kit was always ‘Pale’ or ‘Light’ blue. And that was the official description. Never Sky Blue until more recent times.

70s shirts a few shades darker than today’s but no where near laser blue. The Kappa kit was almost a kingfisher blue - really odd shade. When we went back to Umbro in Mancini’s era - their first kit with the round collar was perfect. That with this badge would be amazing. The year after when we won the FA cup had the best socks of the modern era.

Anything resembling the 10/11 season would be nice. Including a maroon touch.

Not how I remember them, always pale. Agree about the Kappa kit, awful shade of blue.

I respectfully disagree. Puma Maradonna for me. Simple, yet stylish.

Did some digging,

Coming out of football, Puma have signed up major artists and other athletes like Usain Bolt, Virat Kohli, Andrew Flintoff, Brendan Mccullum, The Weeknd, Jay Z, Meek Mill, Rihanna, Selena Gomez and many more.

Probably the most recognizable brand to big name they have is Rickie Fowler.
