CotswoldRed Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Too much emphasis on blue here. We might as well be asking "why not green, yellow, orange or black or white". SL hasn't expressed a preference for blue in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I really wouldn't mind blue in an away kit, there are many different shades of blue, so it doesn't have to be the same as the G*s. Never in a home shirt though, that is sacred As others have said, I've seen United wear blue (but not City blue), Arsenal have worn white. Bigger things to worry about in my world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 This Man UTD example isn't really that relevant.. it wasn't exactly Man City Sky Blue that they played in.. different story if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 But why would we have blue in the away kit we would never wear it at AG so it would be pointless surely. Why not? We've had pretty much every other colour No one gets touchy about having white kits, there's just as much white on the G*s shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowshed Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm feeling a bit controversial today (got a cold so been on the Lemsips) but something I saw on the Bristol Sport thread got me thinking. Someone mentioned Steve Lansdown sounding people out over using blue? That would be myself. The reason I mentioned it is because the clubs owners remarks sent out a disturbed ripple through support that have heard them. If it was to become reality there would almsot certainly be some form of open discord. Football fans are still parochial in nature. Football fans are welded to their traditions apart from those in Wales. It is a great thing football passion which sets the game apart. Club colours and identity should not be viewed as frippery. Millwall in claret? Does anybdoy really know why Mr Lansdown asked about City in blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 We had dark blue shorts and trim on the top a few years ago, nobody really moaned. I personally wouldn't want it but as long as it was very dark blue i.e West Brom then don't think it would cause a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had pretty much every other colour No one gets touchy about having white kits, there's just as much white on the G*s shirt I suppose but their the blue few not the white *******. This club has been red and white for god knows how long so if it aint broke don't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswood Robin Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 But why would we have blue in the away kit we would never wear it at AG so it would be pointless surely. Maybe they think it'll be a good seller. I think more people would wear a dark blue shirt as casual with jeans, than would wear red. Probably a different story when it comes to wearing it to the ground though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't want it but as long as it was very dark blue i.e West Brom then don't think it would cause a problem. A little bit of history. When Leslie Kew was chairman BCFC did consider a blue away kit. The club shop then was ran by the legend Berly Fudge who advised City not to do so. The club dropped the divisive and poor idea.

Midlands Robin Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 You wouldn't want Bristol Blue Glass on the front just in case the ******* L fell off and you'd then have "Bristol Blue Gass" on yer shirt. As for Blue, meh, blue and white hoops wouldn't be a problem for me, but then I'm a fan of the Rugby Club as well. That said, i'd still want purple and lime green any day of the week. Incidently the last time we had an away strip with hoops on it was that seriously awful black, red and green hooped Auto Windscreens kit. Oh, and we did have a lime green and blue striped kit a few years back as a third choice strip. I know that for a fact 'cause I've got one.

fka dagest Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I wouldn't mind seeing blue in an away kit. As has already been said City wore blue in 1909. Blue was also the regular away colours up until the 1930s. To be honest I'm so bored of seeing variations of black and white that any change will do.

In the Net Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Ok, if the Gas announce a red away kit, or home kit with a lot of red in it. How would you feel? That it was the beginning of the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckle_red Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Amazed by some responses on here. White shirt black collar/trim it's simple. If this happens I think fans will put up more of a fight than the Welsh did about their home shirts. The thought of it is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Colby-Tit Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I was told yesterday that City wanted a purple away kit next year. They have received the sample swatch from Adidas, and it's blue. City sent it back & Adidas are refusing to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1894 City kit had blue but the gas didn't have blue on their kit until 1897. The quarters didn't arrive until 1931 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
