Red and black scarves

[daveduke67]

Is it time to put them away until we get another red and black away kit? We don't play in those away colours now we play in maroon.

It was bad enough seeing City fans in anything red when we actually played in red and black - but now I just doesn't seem right.

I thought these were a tribute to Neil Young rather than "ooooo!! Look!!! We got a red and black kit".

Yeah I still wear mine from Leicester away occasionally, good reminder of that day and Neil Young

I genuinely don't like them, especially, as you say DD67, that our away kit is now maroon.

It's not like those colours have been part of our 'istree' for over half a century, or for that matter, that they're originally 'City'.

Not saying others shouldn't wear them, but I never would.

Understand the Neil Young comments, but my point still stands.

Loyalty points deducted for people wearing scarves that don't match the current shirts?

I disagree for those of us of a certain age it is a symbol of one of City's golden era's.

I associate those colours with Bell, Lee and Summerbee. With Mercer and Allison. With winning the FA Cup in 69, the League Cup in 70, the Cup Winners Cup in 70.

Our change strip may be maroon (as it was pre-black and red) but we've also had dark blue, black etc. For me City's away kit should always be black and red.

I love it and will always wear my scarf with pride.

Well said. The black and red strip is iconic to me.

We used to play in Red and Black when we were Ardwick FC. The 1960s kit introduced by Malcolm Allison is a classic and it brought us success. It's the best away kit we have had and will always be associated with City.
