speedie87 · Jan 4, 2012

just seen on the official site we're be wearing a new retro cup final kit on saturday..........looks good.

Skyblueloyal · Jan 4, 2012

Just seen it too, I always wear my 1987 shirt during our FA Cup games hoping it brings us luck it also signed by Bennett and Houcheon and Oggy. I may order one of the new old shirts as back up

No city link logo on it!

Do you think they will relay pictures to us outside the ground so that we can see what it looks like?

torchomatic · Jan 4, 2012

I hate stripes, Cup Final or not.

Moff · Jan 4, 2012

Wow more strips this season, than wins. Go city! :laugh:

ajsccfc · Jan 4, 2012

Ooh, I like that. No sponsor too, I'm interested.

Marty · Jan 4, 2012

I'm going to get it, haven't got a shirt this year so this can be it from now on

We'll_live_and_die · Jan 4, 2012

Why would anyone buy it? It's a single use shirt that no-one will remember. Me no comprende?

Sterling Archer · Jan 4, 2012

I really like that, maybe its the "no sponsor" look?

Pfft, we'll be wearing it all the way to May, anyone would think you don't fancy our chances of winning the thing.

I like it, I think the lack of a sponsor is the main draw. I'd personally kill for a re-release of that sweet hummel shirt we had around '88.

torchomatic · Jan 4, 2012

It's a shame not many fans will get to see it on Saturday in a way being the 25th year and all that. Seems like yesterday.

ajsccfc · Jan 4, 2012

You think they'd have announced it earlier than the day before it goes on sale and three days before it's (most likely) solitary use. That brown one was shown off a good while before that Watford debacle I think?

skybluelee · Jan 4, 2012

Well given that I am a saddo who owns every strip since 1983 I don't have much choice but to buy it!

Such a shame that we won the cup in one of our worst strips ever.

n1xon · Jan 4, 2012

SISU attempt at getting more money from us fans!

ajsccfc · Jan 4, 2012

Someone had to go there.

torchomatic · Jan 4, 2012

Only if the fans are stupid enough to buy it!

Thing is i want one but dont think i can bring myself to buying one!:blue:

torchomatic · Jan 4, 2012

I never liked it at the time, so limited edition or not I won't be buying it. I didn't go for the brown one either a few years ago.

I really like the brown one. The retro stuff that they are selling now is great imo.

torchomatic · Jan 4, 2012

Oh, I like the current kit, but I didn't like the brown one very much. It had Sky Blue on too, which I didn't think looked quite right, I don't think there was anything "retro" about it. Nostalgic maybe, because of the colour. You can't beat the 70s brown one or the equivalent sky blue home one of the 77/78 season. Wonderful!

ajsccfc · Jan 4, 2012

I liked the brown one and this one, but that white World Cup desperate tie-in seemed an exercise in futility even for the world of replica strips.

McDonald's have just released a new burger... Bastards, I eat there so I'll have to buy it. What an evil attempt to get money off customers.

Welcome to Capitalism n1xon. (that statement is kind of ironic reading it back)

Ps. Just for the record I'm neither pro-sisu or a capitalist.:guitar2:

WillieStanley · Jan 4, 2012

Also for the record, if I can justify my finances, I'll be getting one. I love the kit this year... Possibly my favourite ever City kit after the T. I didn't like the recent brown kit. I own a replica of the egg timer brown kit. I'm not too keen on sky blue and white stripes either but loved the sky blue and dark blue of the 90s. I thought the white one was a cashing in excersize which I totally bought into 12 months later and the kits were going for a tenner.

I think that's everything...

So why will you buy this one if you don't like the Blue and White stripes?

WillieStanley · Jan 4, 2012

Because I'm a sucker for Ltd Ed. Especially relating to ccfc. The only blue and whites I've baought have been the "special" ones... Like the anniversary one a few years ago... Never gonna wear it. I'm an idiot, my wife thinks I'm an idiot... Now you do too, and I don't blame you. Far too much of my money goes on CCFC merch I will never use.

WillieStanley · Jan 4, 2012

I refuse to buy those gnomes, though

I could understand if it was worth more in years to come, but ltd edition shirts that only get used once will never be worth alot.....will they?

I agree with your wife

wingy · Jan 4, 2012

Like you willie i loved the the dark and light stripes of the nineties ,a la Huckerby /Dublin era ,sorry Torch,there is a theory around colour Phsycology and i thought our team looked far more intimidating wearing it.

WillieStanley · Jan 4, 2012

Haha! And you're probably right to. Its not about monetary value. (that could be a chart topping song...)

ccfcway · Jan 4, 2012

I'm gonna buy it

But I am gonna stand outside the shop for 15 minutes before hand singing about how poor the shop is compared to how it used to be.

valiant15 · Jan 4, 2012
