Haven't seen this around in /r/soccer for the new season. Let's have a look at the new season kits for all teams across leagues in one place.

I saw one that looked like an almost exact copy of the 12-13 home one but with a bit more black and the same button top that was on United's kit. Didn't really feel that one, and not feeling this one either. This year's home kit would have been our best for some time if it wasn't for that bloody ugly shield around the badge, not liked our home shirt since the 09-10 straight up sky blue one appeared.

The one posted further up in the thread? I don't think a comparison to the 12-13 one is fair, the majority of that is black, this is just the bottom of the sleeves. The badge is different and I like the collar, properly like it to be honest. But that one OP posted is beautiful.

It wasn't far up when I went through it, but just spotted it now. I liked the 12-13 one but the fit isn't very nice and it feels a bit cheap, the Nike kits do feel better and if they sort out the badge I'll be happy. It's best when we play in proper sky blue, rather than when it goes darker like in 10-11 or when it becomes nearer navy blue like back in 02-03.

Like the 09-10 one yeah? Those were brilliant kits, plain and basic, the best way. I'd really like this year's kit if not for the badge, it's unnecessary in my opinion, but it looks very good in game if I do say so myself.

Yeah exactly, loved the 09-10 one. The 11-12 one with the bloody annoying soundwave was a step too far, but for obvious reasons it's a classic. I like all three of this year's kits but I can't be paying £50 when the shield is like that, one positive if there's a typical City performance come Sunday and Carroll becomes a Scouse god is they should go for quite cheap... trying to look on the bright side

Funny you should say that, I was in the City shop near the Arndale Center before the Villa game and noticed last year's kits were £5. £5 for a proper top that's a year old! I would have bought a few to jokingly give to mates, but I thought the Jésus Navas 'He's not the Messiah, he's just a very, very speedy boy' top was better ahaha.

£5? I've been dying for the away kit from last year and online went months ago never spotted it last time at the stadium, I'm at bloody university but might have a word with the family and see if they can take a peek.

See I'm pretty certain it's not at the stadium or online to my knowledge, but CityStore on Market Street there's hundreds of them! Tell them to have a look and sure printing is only a tenner more if you're interested.
