Does anyone like the away shirt?I think it's bloody rank and has nothing to do with City.
The 3rd strip on the other hand...mmmmmm ;-)
Other than the FACT that City's ORIGINAL shirts were black, of course! OH, and the fact that fans wanted the shirts to be representative of the history of the club.
Home: Traditional sky blue, returns to the roots of club success
Away: Original club jersey color
Third: Retro shirt, with unique sponsor logo to maintain retro appearance.
Yeah, mate, they completely f***ed up and we are getting screwed by this (unique to club football) "Tailored By Umbro" crap! Let me see if I can find you a crap shiny polyester shirt from the horrendous collection we have created over the years!
The new gear is ALL unbelievably top shelf, from team jerseys to training gear to T-shirts, and we are LUCKY that the new owners at City have embarked on a path of recognizing the fans, the city, and the history of the club, all while trying to build a world class club and facilities. Recently went out to Carrington and saw the new field they have laid and the drainage they have installed to make even the training pitches top quality in a Manchester winter, etc, etc...
We are on the verge of a renaissance of this club and many, many clubs are running scared. Now, it might not ALL go according to plan on every issue every time, but we are DEFINITELY moving in the right direction in ALL areas and I am excited by the changes I have seen and heard about.
Cheers!
