There seem to be a few story's about it and i was told that when old trafford was bombed during WW2 they had to borrow rags (old kits) from us for their kit and we then started calling them the rags.

I find that quite offensive pal, and not very informative. Suppose if you were a real City man you would be able to tell me right enough!!!!!

sorry mate!! didnt mean to offend, i have a few mates who are scot's and i have the crack with them. If it did offend you then i appologise.

No probs, apology accepted mate. Maybe up here and Scottish but been coming to see City for years. Granted, only a couple of times a season, bit still a Blue!

I stand corrected, cheers malmuttly, I always thought we lent them shirts.

Think that's a bit of an urban myth.

Football was suspended during WW2 and our shirts would have been the wrong colour! Nice thought though. ;-)

Thanks to you as well mate. Had a quick look at site and that is the story i was told a while ago. Good to see the different views though.
