CyderInACan Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 After the glorious season/kit of 89/90 we started 90/91 with a new sponsor AND a foray into the grave new world of weird kits, hence the home "splodgy" kit and away top of yellow with green lines; both sponsored IIRC by Thorn Security.

Yeh, but an incredibly small part of our history, we've had pinstripes on our kit for less than 3 years out of 123 years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the kits with the doubled up stripes in the seasons from 1988 to 1990 were the same, apart from the Hirerite writing changing from black to white. I can't recall another pinstriped City kit. As for the new shirt I'm quite happy with it, although if the club is going down the 1980s retro route I would rather have a design like the 1986 Wembley kit. I have a vague recollection that one of the badges was embroidered on and the other was a crappy plastic effort that broke in time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Probably just me, but the iconic seemingly much loved Hirerite 'double line' pinstripe shirts looked like kids Christmastime pyjama tops to me. Bah humbug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many other clubs have had red away kits. Then there is Scottish clubs, european clubs and National kits. Multiply that lot together and you get a whopping number of red kit designs. So the chances of landing on a unique red design fall somewhere between bugger all chance and nil. Hashtags however was one of a kind.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Classy IMO. Certainly a step in the right direction. What does annoy me is when the home and away kits are different styles (i.e. collar, sleeve tips etc). Should be the exact same kit but with different colour scheme IMO. Would rather the purple and lime was done in the same styling as the home shirt. Also why are we back to a normal colour badge on the home kit and the 'one colour' version still persists on the away? We need to make our minds up about exactly what our 'identity' is and nail it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSMRobin Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Earlier in the season we were asked by the club for thoughts on the forthcoming season kit. I replied to suggest something along the lines of the 80s hireite kits with the stripes as this would offer a bit of variety from recent kits and would provide a bit of nostalgia to when I first started watching city. I have to say therefore I am delighted with the new kit and will definitely be getting one. I also would like to think that a) others voted for something similar on the poll and b) that the club listened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Maybe, in the interests of seeking 'uniqueness' in red/white shirt design, the time has come for the club to bring in @BigTone as consultant Bent Banani expert...?

SecretSam Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I am a little disappointed that the home kit is not the same style as the away kit; a plain red version of that would have looked really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
