New Kit (28 Viewers)

[Ring Of Steel]

I love it, I really do! I like that it is SkyBlue, it isn't just Hummel it is the Club wanting to push boundaries and do something great. 2 years, 2 best home kits time supporting the team. Incredible.

The one thing that is undeniable, whether you like the shirt or not, is that a lot of thought has gone into it, its a proper, individual CCFC strip instead of a template, and thats brilliant. I'd sign Hummel up longer term if I was the club, I think this is the end of the deal in 20/21 isn't it? Can you imagine getting a drab Nike or Puma again now

Whenever a mysterious new shirt is due out I think of the Admiral days then anything is okay.

I thought we had a five year deal with them?

I'm sure I read it was a five year deal?

I think it’s great. Will be ordering for the nippers.

 

[superskyblue]

I prefer this one over last seasons. Impressed.

Me too. I wasn't that fond of the home/away kits last year. Loved the 3rd kit though.

 

[Jesse Carver]

Pattern reminds me a little of the early 90's Fiorentina kits.

 

[skyblu3sk]

Damn... there goes £50

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Not for me , it looks rushed and unfinished. The sides just don’t blend in under the armpits.
left over material from Man City .
hope the away shirts are better or I will be saving £50 .

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The sponsor doesn’t really stand out too much in my opinion, which is nice

Yeah I'd rather we not have them at all but at least not obvious

Come on Craig don't hold back mate say what you really think

 

[steve101]

I am not overly impressed with the overall look but I think the little details and being bespoke is brilliant.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Just sayin

 

[mark82]

Think I'd prefer the pattern to carry on round the whole shirt. Think it's the sides that make it look a bit weird for me.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Come on Craig don't hold back mate say what you really think

It’s SHIT . Looks like a cheap hand me down from the lucky lucky man in Bangkok . Some of those concept shirts that was floating around a few weeks back was much better .

 

[ajsccfc]

I think the one thing that can't be said about the new kit is that it's rushed

 

[Evo1883]

I think it's the best home shirt for a long time

I agree that it is the plain strips under the armpits that looks a little odd, especially as there is no continuation between the shirt and the Hummel markings on the side of the shorts. However I am certainly no fashion guru!

 

[drm]

I really like it - I’m glad we’re not bound to a certain colour/pattern like other clubs, gives us some kit reveal excitement other clubs don’t get

 

[kapowaz]

One thing that’s undeniable is that it’s dividing opinions, and in my opinion that’s a clear sign that in years to come it’ll be regarded as a classic… so long as we do alright this season in it anyway!

 

[kapowaz]

@kapowaz are you planning on recreating that pattern as an Ai / SVG file? if you could hook me up like last yearI'll get on the PES 2021 kits soon and dont want to double up on work (especially as you are bloody good at it )

I had a go at this a couple of years back, but it’s actually a really sophisticated pattern and very hard to accurately reproduce, which is to say it’s not surprising City decided to just create something new that was similar rather than copying it directly. If I ever get the time to reproduce it properly I’ll give you a shout.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

 

[Paul Anthony]

Reminiscent of the first City shirt I ever owned, so it's a yes from me. Actually prefer it to last seasons shirt, myself.

 

[Tommo1993]

Very nice

 

[larry_david]

Can't wait for the away kit though

 

[kapowaz]

@Alkhen this is far as I got before I got bored last time! Getting the underlying grid of colour shades down was the first part, but even this bit wasn't 100% correct...

Agreed it'll be a cult classic for sure.

For me im a little sick of the gradient/fade thing, they sort of did similar with the stripes last year. would like them switch it up next year, bit more harsh lines and geometric

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Got tbh dont like it ):
Bit of a plain Jane me not into all this patterned and stripped shit.
Just bring back the plain 60 shirt and leave it at that.
Then again did like the Brown kit.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

I would have preferred a rerun of a classic , with a few tweaks ( but not the brown one )

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Yes the brown one

 

[Liquid Gold]

I hope next years isn't a rehash of anything. Make a brand new kit that will be a classic in 20 years.

 

[vow]

Looks like a cheap hand me down from the lucky lucky man in Bangkok

Gary Glitter sells Footy shirts!?

 

[robbiekeane]

Side by side View attachment 16601this season alot better for me

I actually prefer this seasons yeh. Thanks for putting them side by side. God I love the way the club is going. So glad we got rid of the template shit

I agree but Hummel seem to have impressed the last couple of years and are getting a number of contracts so I wonder how long it'll be before they have to resort to either more generic kits/templates or bring in slightly inferior kit designers to meet demand. Offering the more bespoke service also probably means they charge more which could put some off as the numbers they sell would mean the kit would have to pretty expensive.

You'd think Nike et al will have to seriously up their game to continue to get the accounts. Although bigger clubs that will sell shirts regardless of how dull the design is they could probably still do by being able to offer it cheaper.

 

[rob9872]

Shame it doesn't follow onto the shorts. Pattern might aswell have been top half if shorts are plain. Nice shirt, but bot convinced as a kit.
