Tinmans Love Child Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 For the haters, just look at The Norwich kit fiasco this year, they have released 3 kits, all a variation of green and yellow!

Tinmans Love Child Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I may be on my own here, but I really like the socks Think the kit would look better if the main colour was white though I agree Purple socks look great with it, all black would have been bland and they would have looked like referees, needs some colour, and it seems everyone loves the purple!

Pickle Rick Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Loved it until I saw the purple socks which utterly ruin it. Yea me too. Think you and I (alike) won't be walking around in public, wearing THAT kit with THOSE socks! WWGWS?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargla Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Shirt would have been awesome if not for the stripes going all the way down the shirt. Should have stopped it at the top of the sponsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamite Red Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Idea is nice but the execution is crap, a sash would have been better than a central vertical stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted July 30, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I hate it. Unanimous reaction round the office (no City fans) is everyone loves it. Everyone at my workplace likes it too, including the non-football fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RightUpInCider Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I like the idea but it could have been so much better. The piping on the sleeves should be same on both sides for sleeves and shorts. A thin purple and lime piping on both would have been much better. Or perhaps I am just OCD!?!

brad blit Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Loves it I do! You have to say fair play to City for having 2 nice designs in 2 years!

Welcome To The Jungle Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Love a quirky away strip. Got it. Dunno about buying it but that's more to the fact I'm running out of red city shirts that fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Great idea to include the purple and lime again and it looks really classy. Judging by Twitter fans of other clubs like it too. Looks like these shirts could prove irresistible to football fans around the country, and no doubt we'll soon see Bristol City shirts worn in huge numbers all around the globe as well. About time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUMMAT OUTTA NOWT Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Quite like it but as sizes are nothing like the average man would wear it shall not be troubling my piggy bank again this year. Since we have gone to Bristol Sport the sizing has saved me a fortune in merchandise cos none of it fits. I do like the designs they come up with though.

spudski Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 As a design...it looks nice. As a football kit...it's the worse possible scenario apart from Grey. Players hate black kits....as they get lost in the background of the crowd. Our purple and lime kit not only looked good....but it was great for picking out a player as well. I read a while back, some statistics on win rates by kit colour. Red came out top, white second. Bottom was Black and Grey. Can you remember when Man Utd players complained about their Grey kit, because they lost team mates in the background? They stopped playing in that kit. Research has done a lot on colour and performance in sport. The purple and orange football boots were created because footballers reacted slightly faster with them. An all lime green keepers kit also gives an illusion to them being bigger. Any edge helps....for me....this kit is a big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to an extent, but of the 23 opponents I think our home kit would only truly clash with 4 or 5 so in theory it shouldn't get that much use. I'm sure if the players or management feel it's affecting performance it'll be used as scarcely as possible. I hope we have red shorts to use in the home kit when only the shorts from the home kit clash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I would say it's a marmite kit in that it looks fantastic om the players but not so much for a replica shirt. Then again a lot of fans still wore that purple shirt in public! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any edge helps....for me....this kit is a big mistake. an admittedly weak argument here could be made about why the socks are purple, herbert chapman got arsenal to wear hooped socks because the contrast between 2 colours was easier for the players to pick out even without looking up fully. seeing as the colours we have on the kit are black, green and purple; black hooped socks wouldnt work for the reason given, and green possibly not because they would be harder to see than a solid bright colour like purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Surely it's a case that anyshirt blends in with a crowd tho' I mean our red shirt will blend in with Ashton gate and the crowd because of the amount of red in the ground, Anyway I love the shirt it's unique and something that would of never of happened under Adidas and puma kit deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd had a black away kit 93/95 and won the premier league twice, they also had one as a 3rd kit 98-00 when they won the premier league twice, the old Sharp Viewcam one was voted the fans fave shirt. I think the colour of the shirt means nothing, it's the team in it, if Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal all played in Purple and Lime then this would be the most successful kit colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
