Hard to tell what it'll look like from that, but the 2 shades of blue look a bit odd.

So far this season I haven't seen anyone with an upside down badge as has happened for the last 2 years. So that's an improvement. So far.

That's exactly what's going on. My lad sent me the link. 4 players on chairs doing some odd dance
We had 2 shades of blue back in the 80s, so it's nothing new. Although these appear to be different shades and thicker stripes.

Hard to judge if I like it or not if that is the kit from that picture. Would have to see the whole thing properly.
Good news is if that is the kit, we might reveal it soon with the players at the CBS on Friday

First deckchairs, now kites, this chick from PSG has some crazy merch ideas!

Doesn’t look the same due to the weird pattern going on. Gives an idea tho I guess.

Looks possibly like we are going for wishy washy shite (if the orange and white away are to be believed) instead of the clean/sharp stuff we had last year.

I wouldn't mind something like that, to be fair.

I could get onboard if it looked something like the 98/99 home shirt with the two tones of blue.

It's just a concept from someone. The full tiktok video is posted further up.

What is odd is it actually looks like three shades of blue. The sleeves seem different to the two shades of blue on the body. Also the trim around the neck is different to the trim on the sleeves. It looks a right hotchpotch of ideas.
Almost like a quiz question in a football magazine,where they give you a cut and paste picture of various teams football shirts. You have to go through and identify all the teams included in the picture.

I like the aqua and sky blue

I know this is a daft question but do we have a set brand colour for our sky blue? Seems to differ where all colours on this have probably featured once

There is no set brand colour for our Sky Blue. I have been supporting the club for about 58 years and we have used all sorts of shades of Sky Blue. Some borderline on not actually being Sky Blue.

Might be something for the club to consider for consistency. Hated a couple years back when we had sky blue shorts that there were a different colour to the shirt (think it was 22/23?)

It’s always been like that with them. I got a training shirt and the badge came off within a week. The quality is shite.

I quite like that we can vary it a bit. The mismatch is a technical thing. One part printed, one part dyed(?), the tramline kit a few seasons ago had it with the sleeves being different to the body

In fairness I got a training top from the Covid season I use it for golf and playing football it's washed regularly and it has held out pretty well

I’m ranting and have no interest in fairness.

And who would you propose to have instead?
Its all well and good us saying let’s move from Hummel but who do you prefer us to go with?

I’ve got all the Hummel shirts since we went back to them.
the only issue with any of them I’ve had is the chevrons on last years 3rd kit sticking together after a wash and then tearing apart when I tried to sort it. It’s fucking ruined now.

I do think Hummel have declined since they started making the gear anyways
The first home shirt they did was my favourite City shirt of my lifetime but I think the design and quality has got gradually worse ever since

Agree with that.

I think if we were to move from Hummel, I’d like Umbro. Seem to make good quality kits and have interesting designs. Could start by remaking the sky blue striped home and yellow away

After the two-tone shirt and how well it sold Dave Boddy tied us in to quite a long deal with them when he was here iirc, no idea how long is left on it though
Hopefully now we are a bit more of a desirable club to be partnered with again if we returned to one of the big names we would have unique kits designed for us as opposed to template ones like we got with Nike and Puma
