    You are a wit aren't you?
    I actually agree with you and get what you are saying but I too would also like the stripes back.
    Some of my favourite City teams over the years didn't wear stripes. Promotion and the cup win at Norwich both under Bobby Kennedy in a white kit. The team under Roy McFarland wore white, the team that Trevor Cherry and Terry Yorath had success with wore white. And that never to be forgotten day away to Wolverhampton Wanderers........white.

    Most of our best days have been in a white kit, Not that we ever learn, Take L666ds played in the lower divisions in blue and yellow then along comes Revie and changes the kit to all white and the rest is history.

    I assume everyone is aware that whatever our kit is for next season, it will have been decided months ago.

    I remember James Mason saying that kit designs have to be signed off by at least December for the following season.

    I hope it’s stripes. It will go a long way to getting rid of the ghost of Edin.

    Nah, don’t you know, it wasn’t the likes of Michu, Hernandez, etc that beat us to the 2013 League Cup. It was the kit colour that they played in

    Initially the comment Trevor made but also those that seem to think there’s something in that theory and all our successful sides came in white, just because we played in white against Wolves doesn’t mean we did most of the season.

    Did you actually believe this was a good idea when you were typing it out?

    Identity is only useful when you can truly relate to it. There's been plenty of times iv'e stayed away from Valley Parade, No shirt design is going to change that.

    Im a City fan, doesn't mean I have to choke down the dogsh*t I was fed this season.

    A lot of teams now swerve away from kit colours for training strips. If we turned out in claret and amber training gear, then some folk may prefer that to the kit so buy that instead. Having plain, albeit different colour training wear leaves the chance of people buying two or three different variarions

    Lol. Took me a while to spot the humour at play. Very good, and a point well made :)

    As long as its claret and amber it's fine by me. Don't really care about the stripes, I like the variety.

    Exactly. Our very first kit as a pro football club were hoops! Stripes came along later and were then replaced by a plainish claret shirt and then a rugby-type design with a chevron.

    Only from 1960/61 season mate when Leeds under Revie just missed dropping down to the old division three, so Revie implemented a youth policy and a change of kit colour to an all-white strip in the style of the great Real Madrid
