It's just that it has to be 80% white. I really can't believe this is true. If CFG had decided to keep the red and white as the home shirt, I can't see the FFA saying now you can't use that anymore, you have to have 80% white. I think the FFA ruling applies to using sky blue in the shirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC22 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I fucking love the combination of sky blue, red and white. It's so unique and works well together. Hope so badly CFG plan on embracing that and not slowly phasing out the red. Although that seems more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be that, otherwise how come Adelaide's away shirt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before, if we submitted red and white stripes or a Catania style kit we'd be accepted straight away. The only thing stopping us playing in either of those is a lack of intent from CFG, not some 80% rule that was made up just for us when we wanted manc clone kits.

morphine Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Whilst I tend to agree with you @Jimmy, this 80% rule comes straight from the horse's mouth. So..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this was reported by MCFC at the FRG meeting but that's the club reporting what the FFA said. That's not directly from the FFA. None of the reporting at the time the decision was made mentioned the requirement for 80% white, just that the shirt could not be 'all sky blue'. This came about not because of FFA initially deciding/ruling but because Sydney objected in the end the FFA and an independent arbiter upheld their complaint. I think the club is being selective (as many corporations are) in what they say. They can say 'the FFA said "Melbourne City has to play in 80% white"' which is technically true they are just (possibly) leaving off the end of the FFA statement "Melbourne City has to play in 80% white...if you want to incorporate sky blue". Its not like CFG/MCFC don't have a history of not quite being truthful with the fans 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasputin Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Agree - the 80% rule was put in to appease Sydney as we wanted all sky blue. If we introduced red and white in the home kit the FFA would allow it. Question is do CFG want this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given that they are abiding by the rule - they must want to incorporate sky blue or whatever. Meaning no matter why - the shirt will be 80% white. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFG_82 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Is there any other comp in the world they restricts a team to wearing a certain % of a colour? As long as our home kit doesn't clash with other teams or get mistaken for other teams it shouldn't be problem at all. \ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 This whole ruling, papal edict, or whatever it is, is just so farcical I can't believe it. It extends to the playing strip only. The rest of the time, including the pre-game warm-up period, City can strut around in whatever colour(s) they feel like. City's badge even has a greater area of sky blue than Sydney's does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakz7 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Quickly made these simple kit designs (A-League badge looks a bit dodgy lol). Both are based on nike template kits.

The Melbourne City FC badge is based on the Coat of Arms of the City of Melbourne and as I understand it is used in the form that it is with the express permission of the City of Melbourne. The red cross has nothing to do with Melbourne Heart - that's a very happy co-incidence nevertheless - but is derived from the Cross of St. George, the National Flag of England. It's a great football club badge, easily the best in the league, up there with the best in the world, and one of the best things that CFG has done.

This isn't the first club to have a badge with different colour scheme to the home kit, i see no conflict of interest in having a white/sky blue kit and a crest that also has red in it.
