JM91 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Not really one which could drum up much debate, but i'm interested in what away kit colours you think are the "traditional" city away kit colours or the ones you feel are the most suited to City. My uncle and cousin were debating this with my uncle adament that white/black were city's traditional away colours while cousin was positive that purple and lime was more closely linked to our identity. For me, I've always considered yellow and green to be the away colours of choice, but when i think back feel like black kits have been the most common.

INCRED Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 White shirts, black shorts & socks is my recollection of our second kit. The purple & green has only appeared a coupl of times in the last 15 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 What about that dark green away kit, circa 01/02 I think? Remember a bald Brian Tinnion scoring a screamer in that kit, forgot who against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 That's a brave post mate! Could generate emotions akin to the Robin on the badge argument! To me, our traditional away colours are white shirts, black shorts and black socks. The purple/lime was/is a gimmick, got nothing to do with our history and is only favoured because we beat Liverpool away wearing it. If we'd been stuffed that night we'd never have seen it again...

I tend to agree, but it did outsell the white/black one significantly last season. they were effectively the same kit just in different colours too! I guess it now also has the benefit of being associated with both Anfield and our double winning season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I go white / black but that's probably just my age. I also like purple / lime green and that yellow / green. Happy for it to keep rotating as long as we keep RED at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjmcity Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Ahhh. The yellow uhlsport Sanderson recruitment shirt with green collar was amazing, a very nice shirt. As alluded to previously in this thread, did we also have a dark green one like that?? I think we did and I owned one but can't find a pic Love this white one too.. Size of that badge!

The Fat Controller Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Traditionally, I'd say that white and black are our away colours. In terms of preference, I like the variety. Like the 70s style white and black, the 90s yellow and green, the previously mentioned 00s dark green one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 White shirt with black trim and black shorts and black socks. It's our tradition. With a robin badge on it preferably. Do like that yellow uhlsport number though has to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 White and Black for me.....Tom Ritchie, Paul Cheesley style. But I actually like the current Black top, green shorts and stockings (why are they stockings rather than socks?). Why however do the club sell the away kit with black shorts and purple stockings? They socks are poor quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'm definitely in the white shirts, black shorts and black socks camp. The pictures on this thread have brought back memories of some real shockers. That "champagne" (or whatever they called it) kit from the season when GJ replaced Tinman was also pretty horrific.
