Surprise!!!
Why would they embrace the color red when everyone associates that color with Man. United? They should embrace the blue all the way.

Don't fail to see Nyarlathotep if he comes to Providence. He is horrible — horrible beyond anything you can imagine — but wonderful. He haunts one for hours afterward. I am still shuddering at what he showed.
That yellow sponsor is ugly, Would've looked better in white or some other colour IMHO.

So are they making new home kits this season too, or just trading out the away kits and moving the midnight-blue to third?

IIRC they did ape the design from Milan, but then won a couple things wearing red/black stripes as an away kit, so it's come up now and then. When they were still with Reebok like five years ago they had a black/red away kit that looked pretty nice.

It's so they're aligned with raised arms, eg celebrating a goal or doing the poznan

That's a great kit. I think WBA's away kit will be back to the old green and yellow this season and I hope they do something as good as that.

Nope. The navy away kit from this season is the new 3rd. The sash kit has had two seasons, which is pretty much the longest a kit gets these days.

City's press release is a bit silly

mcfc.co.uk posted:

The new Manchester City away kit for the 2011/2012 season was revealed at Monday night’s FA Cup homecoming event at the City of Manchester Stadium.

The inspiration for the Umbro kit is taken from the most famous shirt in the club’s history – the black and red shirt worn in 1969 and 1970 during which time City won the FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners Cup.

To achieve the ‘tailored’ look for the 2011/2012 away shirt, the Umbro kit designers draped black and red fabric over the silhouette of the modern day ‘arms out’ goal celebration.

The shirt is designed so that when a player celebrates a goal or links arms with team mates, the black and red stripe remains consistent. For this reason, there is no seam on the underarm as traditionally stitching can distort the shape and flow of a stripe.
The stripe width on the shirt was inspired by the old 1969 kit. The long sleeve version features an all-black forearm so that there is a unified stripe-look when the players link arms in goal celebrations.

The club crest and sponsor detail is key-lined in gold in order to give standout against the black and red.

Sky blue is featured within the crest so that the away kit always carries a piece of ‘home’.

Black stitching is used on the cuff of the shirt and an equal amount of black and red is featured on the hem.

The new Manchester City away kit is now available for pre-order from the CityStores or online at mcfc.co.uk/shop and will be on sale from 23rd June.

David Blanch, Senior Designer at Umbro, said: “Umbro’s kit designs for City are centred on being modern – not retro. So with this shirt, we married the aesthetic of the 1969 shirt with the modern day ‘arms out’ goal celebration. The result is a shirt which is a celebration of both the future and the past.

“This is a football ‘shirt’ in the truest sense – we have combined modern day football tailoring to end up with a shirt which combines both performance and smartness. Stretch mesh is a key component to allow players to move freely and their skin to breath during matches. Every minor detail within the shirt has a reason for being – nothing is simply ‘there’.

Blanch added: “City fans will be pleased to know there is more black than red within the shirt.”

The shorts are plain black and include the club crest whilst the socks are black and similar to the shirt, feature two bands of red.

Trevor Cairns, Chief Marketing Officer for Umbro, commented: “We know that the black and red ’69 shirt is a fans’ favourite and we are delighted to bring it back but with all the performance benefits for the modern game – especially in what is an FA Cup winning season. This is not a retro shirt but a celebration of the past, present and future of the Club.”

Very awkward. Even the press release seems to be self-conscious about wearing their rival's color. So why even do it?

AC Milan wore red and black when United (well Newton Heath) were still wearing white and blue, City's choice of a red and black striped away kit was a deliberate choice to emulate Milan and has nothing to do with United (they don't actually have a monopoly on the colour red you know).

Ugh, I hope Newcastle wins the sugar daddy lottery drawing one day instead of ending up poo poo. Being Newcastle I can only imagine that even if we did get a sugar daddy owner who wanted to dump boat loads of money into the club we'd end up in a George Reynolds type fiasco where we find out our owner has been a massive criminal the whole time.

Like the dennis the menace arms, don't like the star trek collar.

And if you think that City press release is cringeworthy, two years ago with the first umbro kits (the white hooped neck home and the black/orange away) City had a designer who resembled a Ricky Gervais character going on about how it's a revolutionary design because the badge is over the heart and that how Adebayor suddenly became more powerful because he felt cool in the away shirt. I can't find it on the website any more, alas.

EDIT: haha found it: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/Video/Features/Behind-the-kit-part-4

type behind the kit in the search bar up top to find the others in entire awful series.
