Whoever came up with the idea of giving it a different coloured sleeve from the body deserves to be shot. Also, what is up with that shade of light blue? It's far too dark - it's almost a grey sky blue rather than proper sky blue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LIBBA] Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'd say the worst thing about Man City's kit now is that awful emblem they've changed to. It is now the worst out of the 3 clubs in the CFG IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is now the worst out of the 3 clubs in the CFG IMO Admittedly it's horribly cartoony, but it's a direct result of demands by the fans to go back to using the 1970s badge. Obviously they had to make changes, of course, because what club ownership would be able to resist the urge to tinker with something that doesn't need tinkering with, but it is at least far more popular than the old badge, which was widely viewed by the fans as a travesty of a design.

mus-28 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 This is probably horrible enough to be perfect for CGF in the interim as we slowly transition to more sky blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphine Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Why would we need to slowly transition? They ripped our name, badge, kit from underneath is once. If they wanted it and were allowed to do it, they would've already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I just want them to either get what they want or settle on a permanent home kit.

CFG appear to be set on their stable of clubs wearing, as far as is possible, similar or even identical kits with sky blue as the main colour, on the basis of promoting the "CFG brand." Our fans, at least some of us/them, want to see us wearing a kit that is distinctively "Melbourne City." It is perfectly possible to meet both of these objectives, if only CFG would be just slightly flexible along the lines Dylan suggests - a sky blue shirt with a vertical stripe or a sash in the colour that identifies the actual club - Melbourne red, NYC orange, Manchester white, etc. etc. Unfortunately, CFG hold all the cards and don't appear to be willing to be flexible at this stage.

It makes sense that they want as much consistency between the teams as possible I've never really understood this. What are the benefits? If its about sponsorship - I can't imagine any company saying I'm willing to sponsor you only if all 3+ teams are wearing the same shirt. No as long as they get their logo plastered on they don't care. If its about branding - its very easy to switch the colours in the material. If its about getting fans to be fans of other CFG teams - I can see some benefit to this but not a lot. We have a few Man City fans here because of the CFG relationship but I can't see hordes of fans jumping on board based on having the same colour shirt. For A-League fans - Most fans already support an EPL team trying to copy the shirt of Man City will (and does) rub people the wrong way. If people don't have an EPL team a few people have now gone on to support Man City but I don't think that would change at all based on colour. As for A-League-MLS cross over - I Can't see either fans choosing to watch/support each other over the EPL, La Liga, Serie A etc. The best way of cross support would have been guest stints between players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can think of is economies of scale. one kit for all three clubs means less resources needed to come up with 3 different designs and more resource in the football department and everything can be done through Manchester HQ with one supplier but MLS and FFA has thrown the spanner into the works, what with MLS teams having to go through Adidas and FFA refusing us to wear sky blue. Think CFG is just waiting for the rules to change and the synergy will happen. Until then, expect mediocre kits guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviant Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 also, how many fans will buy our custom kit? I don't see myself buying one unless its a good fucking deal. I've got a home and away kit from last season. That'll do me for a bit. No point Nike taking the time and resources to produce something that isn't going to sell much.

Nah im full of shit, but i suspect that we will have the Nike Vapor template which all of their national teams have and also the leaked man city kit. So I just mocked it up.
