A reprise of the Ribero paint splash print would be an absolute winner for me. I actually contacted the old director of Ribero about licensing the artwork but he claimed to be in talks with the club about retro reproductions (this was several years ago so obviously nothing happened). Since then several other clubs (most notably Norwich) have re-released officially approved retro kits using the same pattern, and also incorporated it into a kit made by Errea, so I’m pretty sure there’s no legal obstacle to Hummel using the pattern.
I’d love to see us do something more creative and new with our away kit though. I’m pretty bored of all black or all white. Something I would love to see is a Salmon pink kit. Some other clubs have done this in the past (Man Utd, Juventus to name a couple) and they’ve fast become fan favourites.
Speaking of kits, just saw this on eBay RARE Coventry City Prototype Away Shirt 1996/1997 Vintage Football Retro | eBay
Ive seen a few of these floating around in various colours, not sure they are genuine. the badges on the real ones were attached not printed. also why is there blue behind the crest?
Wasn’t one of Coventry original home kits pink?Here’s a good example of the kind of pink away kit I think would work great for us:
I think the claim is that it was a prototype and so not widely manufactured and so doesnt have the same details as the final kit. It could just be fake as well, of course.Ive seen a few of these floating around in various colours, not sure they are genuine. the badges on the real ones were attached not printed. also why is there blue behind the crest?

Just a sidenote on kits from that year (and the previous year, I think) I really don't like the badge, it faded horrendously and they just seem a bit cheaper compared to the stitched badges.
I think it’s likely to be a fake. Also the guy selling its added to the description he expects payment in 2 days or will open a no payment case. I understand wanting payment in 2 days, but opening a case can get people banned, anything I sell if I don’t get payment I message the buyer and then if I don’t hear I re-list. Could just be me looking for holes in his account mind!
Gone already, I hope it's not a fake for the sake of the person who has paid £85 for it!I think it’s likely to be a fake.

That looks awful, hope the new design is nothing like this.
Nice!!Not a kit but a stadium, couldn’t find a thread to put it in City fan's Sky Blues stadium model is a sight to behold

Championship relegation shirt was great.I've been looking for old kits quite a bit in recent weeks, now is it just my nostalgia for the 90s clouding my judgement, or did we have a real run of truly shit shirts from 2003 right through until last season? Some of those Puma City Link shirts are particularly dreadful.

Like I said, I'm sure some of it is nostalgia as I will always prefer those 90s kits that I had a kid, but so many of the kits from mid 2000s onwards just look cheap and dull.Yeah probably from time we got relegated, didn't even have a kit make for a few years... There was the awfully massive all skyblue thing that I always always Lee Hughes in.

A Sky Blues fan has created a realistic scale model of a concept stadium for the club he loves in his spare time.

No you’re right.
Even the stripey Le Coc shirts were terrible but Our Premiership misty eyes gets in the way of really looking at how bloody terrible they really were!

Looking at the last 20 years it really is slim pickings. I do like this one though, felt a bit exotic having a silver trim
