Would you go Red?

[Why Always Ste]

Just "read" that a major company, Rakuten, offered to sponsor us in 2012 under the condition that we changed our colours to Red.
They have since signed a mega sponsorship deal with Barca today.

So, how would you feel if we would've gone red?
Or any other colour for that matter if say Carlsberg wanted to sponsor us and asked us to play in green :/

Luckily for us the offer was declined under those terms.

For me, it doesn't matter how much money was on the table, I would walk away from supporting City (under the current regime) if they decided to change our primary colour to Red.

And yes I am aware we have played in red (and black) historically.

I would stop going if they changed the home colours to red.

It would be the equivalent of moving the club outside of Manchester, or changing the name to something else. It would no longer be the same club in my eyes.

City in red would be absolute shambles. The fancy orange kits are already borderline for me.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

AFC City would be happening if that happened.

They could go swivel lol

Putting the boot on the other foot what right does a sponsor have to actually ask that? By all means change the away kit to be sponsor friendly. After all the third kit is sponsored by Double Decker isn't it? But the home kit is sacrosanct. If you buy the club and you own it, to a certain extent you can do what you like, for example Cardiff, but even then, to mess with history and obviously fans opinion it's a huge risk. I wonder what Barça fans thought the other year when their stripes turned into hoops?

I'd be #done with City if they went RED.
...i hate the Red/Black away BTW... RED or MAROON should NEVER EVER EVER be in any of our kits.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

That would be the point where Manchester-out-of-Ardwick ceased to be! And I would retire quietly, very quietly.

I love the red and black away kit and the maroon.

Disrespectful motherfuckers.

I love the red and black away kit and the maroon.

Me too, it was our primary school team kit.

throws up a little bit in mouth.

Not only should maroon ALWAYS be on our second/third strip in some form but it should also be on our first strip socks.

 

[Tanzeylee]

love the red and black for 2nd or 3rd kits but I'd walk away never to darken their door again if they changed the home kit to red

I'd stop going, and probably stop following all football, apart from lower league. I know business is business but fuck that.

I have never, ever owned anything red in my life, the only concession being the red and black striped away shirt.

Might seem churlish bordering on childish but the colour red makes me want to vomit. We are City, we play in sky blue.

It is childish, but I'm the same... It's an almost instinctive reaction to the colour now, haha. I'm having to drive a red Citroen at the moment, which pisses me off. My usual car - in beautiful laser blue - is currently off the road.

Fuck off
