Well yeah it's clearly a fake (you can also see where they tried to blur and blend the crest) but doesn't mean it couldn't happen. Hopefully kit makers have noticed how good City's 3rd looks.

I do like this trend of charity/hospital/local sponsors. Partly because it's a little chink in the soulless corporate surroundings of the game, but mostly because teams get to play with a bandaged teddy bear on their chest. Kit is beautiful too.

We had our meetings in a room with a bar and Brian Clough said to me "Millsy, get the beers in and get yourself a Guinness". I told him I didn't drink. He said "Get yourself a fucking Guinness" so I did. I drank it, pulled a face and then he named me in the team. I never said no again.

We have two kits to choose from and you can vote as to which one you would like to see the players wear next season at Bootham Crescent.

Come now, the one on the left is pretty decent and the one on the right... yeah, not great but by current era football top standards, not too bad.

They remind me of the strips you'd create in FIFA 98.

Can't buy history. Or class. What?

One on left is red version of all blue away kit we have currently. The kit needs blue in it somewhere.

This is correct! I have posted about this before but basically smaller teams sell more strips if they have Nike or Adidas on the shirt so the tiny kit suppliers who used to have names like XARA or BUKTA or PUNCH or PROSTAR now just order a bunch of £14.99 tops from the Nike catalogue, sew a club badge/sponsor onto it and charge £40 for it

Which is why the proposed York kit is the same as the Aberdeen top

Harriers had this issue when we first were going to get Nike kits, apparently the first kit Nike showed them was literally Man Utd's shirt with a different sponsor & badge stuck on the top. When we asked for a better kit apparently it got lost in transit and we ended up getting Admiral kits for a year.

Then we finally settled for a Nike total 90 training top (I saw a pic in 442 showing Evra wearing it in a Nike advert) with sponsors and badge and hawked to the fans for £40.

Luckily we used to wear a red & white halves kit before our league days, so the club went with this for a new kit and now we have a much more bespoke kit design:

I feel a bit sorry for Albion Rovers fans after 130 years of their club playing in Red and Yellow the club announced last summer that the new official club colours were Red and Black

because the sportswear catalogue they were ordering the new strips from didn't offer Red and Yellow as a colour combination

Like all other things which went well for hearts it only lasted for one season before it became poo poo again.

But oh well, I'll probably end up getting the home jersey. Idk why the sash bothers me

Because it isn't done that much, it probably actually draws more attention to the brand. If every club did it it wouldn't work of course.

even if they had to pay back some money it would be worth it. Big logo and new crest isn't the end of the world either.
