Would go for something based on the 87 kit from this point forwards. I really like the sky blue with dark blue. Think it looks fantastic.

This season's kit has to be one of the worst ever. It is indeed very insipid.

Personally disliked that kit more than any we have ever had. Looked better with the white shorts that were the first choice ones but still horrible.

Haha. Did you look at the photo yet?

Certainly have. Only noticed one team at first. I then noticed there was two teams. One of the teams were playing in green and had blended in with the grass

Pillock lol

All my favourite kits have dark blue in them but its a mixture of stripes and plain. I think it's good that we mix it up, I can't think of another club that does it as often and as well as we do. I'd love us to go back to the Sky Blue and Dark Blue stripes.

I loved the one with the dark blue arms and pin stripes... second year in Champ, maybe?

Going against the grain... I love this seasons kit. The last two we've had have been the best since the Prem IMHO.

Otis · Nov 5, 2012

Each and every to their own, but to me this season's kit just looks pasty.

Sky blue and dark blue go beautifully together to my eyes.

Cornish pasty?

What is the use of sky blue and dark blue when you can only see the dark blue?

cyril · Nov 5, 2012

To keep the sky blue tradiinalists happy

Otis....I can't believe you've started a Poll!

Monkeyface · Nov 5, 2012

Plain blue for me, never been a fan of stripes, makes us look like Sheff Wed, Huddersfield, WBA, Brighton, Colchester and Bristol Rovers , I'm sure there are more. Just think the plain blue looks smarter, as long as its not this baby blue they keep confusing for Sky Blur!

skybluedaze · Nov 5, 2012

Stripes for me. My earliest memories were of City in stripes winning the cup at Wembley. Maybe if the club reverted back to stripes Cov's fortunes might change for the better. A long shot, but worth a try.

But it'd be sky blue stripes, not dark blue stripes. Can't see how we would look like anyone else.

Even more so if it was sky blue and dark blue stripes.

Or go for a modernised version of one from way back when. I really like this one below.

Too Wycombe Wanderers for me, their kits never look great in my opinion

Rebranding these days is a no go, for most its all about keeping history and tradition. Look what happened a few years ago when they tried to change the badge.

Cardiff city? :-*

More chance of getting on a horse than playing football looking like that

blueflint · Nov 5, 2012

Which part of the word 'modernised' didn't you understand?

Mucca Mad Boys · Nov 5, 2012

Plain I like, Stripes I like but hoops, no! Wouldnt suit us IMO. Just out of curiosity, have we ever had a hoops kit?

We've never had hoops and thank God we haven't. Horrible.

Otis · Nov 5, 2012

And both Reading and QPR play in blue stripes.

skybluesham · Nov 5, 2012

id go for thck rows left to right, two sky blue and the other one in the middle a bit darker, or like barcelonas white in middle, fading into sky blue

wingy · Nov 5, 2012

Maybe we could use some heat sensative material that gets darker the warmer a player gets ,you get mi= drift.:facepalm:

Gynnsthetonic · Nov 5, 2012

Plain Sky Blue shirts Black shorts and sky blue socks
A bit like Wolves but sky blue instead

Sky Blue Kid · Nov 5, 2012

We went through that stage when Richard Shaw was playing for us, but must admit, it was a good kit.

Johnnythespider · Nov 5, 2012

Bristol Rovers play in quartered blue and white i believe, as for the stripes yes please, am tired of the whole sky blue thing, just not purple and yellow for the away kit. How about the black away shirt i really liked that but trimmed with sky blue instead of gold.

Todays kit is far to pale, I much prefer the JH darker/bolder Sky Blue kit.
What song would we sing.....Mark Robins, Sky Blue and Royal Blue Striped Armyyyyy!.....Don't think so Otis!

But we have had stripes in 1983-1987, then 1989-1992, then 1996-1999, 2000-2001, 2003-2004, 2005-2007 and 2008-2009.

We were still singing Sky Blue army throughout that lot! 15 years of stripes there.

Can't say it's not in our history and one of our very first ever strips was sky blue and white stripes.

Moff · Nov 6, 2012

Stripes - so when I look across the stadium it doesnt look like an empty chair has possession of the ball.

wingy · Nov 6, 2012

The diachotomy here ,when we adopt Stripes ,thus improving our pass completion,rising swiftly up the leagues playing to full houses and De ja vu .:facepalm:

Otis · Nov 6, 2012

As soon as we fill the stadium we can revert back to plain sky blue.

Sky Blue Kid · Nov 6, 2012

@ Otis....

We wore Black and Red for a number of years too. In the days of "The Bantams" it was dark blue and white stripes.
If we were to revert back to the Sky Blue and Dark Blue Stripes I would feel as if we had(As I did then) lost our identity.
We are the "Sky Blues" meaning majority of Sky Blue, not a mish mash of colours mate.......My opinion, of course

Otis · Nov 6, 2012

Well yes, of course. just at least 15 years we played as the Sky Blues in sky blue with stripes. That's all I'm saying.

Don't recall anyone ever saying we had stopped being the Sky Blues when we had the stripes. I certainly didn't feel we'd lost any identity. I just thought we had a great kit for a change!

ricohman · Nov 6, 2012

Whats it matter were still shit

Otis · Nov 6, 2012

It matters because we can be shit in a nice kit rather than shit in a shit kit.

Sky Blue Sheepy · Nov 6, 2012

Personally I prefer plain sky blue, love this seasons for example. No problem with the stripes either. No hoops thank you

Otis · Nov 6, 2012

This season's needs a blood transfusion.
