    White home kit ala 81. And claret and amber half and half ala the hoddle kit.

    Like these two.

    Yes we have. But those times are a minority. Over the past four decades our identity has grown to become predominantly claret and amber, usually stripes. It's what we're known by in the football world. It's what we wore in the PL (albeit an awful version), in the Beagrie, Mills, Blake promotion season, in hoop form at the Capital One Cup Final and in our only recent times MotD appearance against Chelsea.

    I actually suspect the likely white kit will be nice, but I'd still rather we didn't have a white kit as our home kit. Nothing to do with Leeds wearing white. You don't see Man U or Liverpool drop red for white in their home kit, nor Spurs or Leeds swap white for blue. I don't think we should abandon our trademark shirt colours just for marketing purposes or to please a few 80s nostalgists.

    All this fuss over a kit lol. The club are trying something different, it will make a good change and allow the stripes to return next season.

    I like it but then I started watching City in the 84/85 season so I've fond associations of the white kit.
    Whilst I agree that our unique club colours set us apart from the rest of the EFL & PL it does get a little repetitive to have claret and amber stripes each year. So well done to the club for trying something different this season.

    I don't get paid for that though. It's something I do because it gives me something to do while I'm around to try and solve any server issues that may crop up during the match (when the site largely has the biggest load). Admittedly I could probably not sit at my computer every Saturday Afternoon as we haven't had any issues with the server for a long time now as usage has become more predictable so it's easier to ensure usage surges can be dealt with better but you can guarantee the first time I decide to go out and do something on a Saturday afternoon the server will die and I'll have to make a mad dash home to fix it.

    Ultimately though I know some of you have this idea that I'm getting paid massive amounts by Karl but as he will be able to confirm a lot of what you see me doing is being done just because either I'm around so why not or with something like the prediction league because it's a fun way of learning some new things that can be helpful in other work that without having such a project I would most likely just keep putting off learning (Or a bit of both while doing the Twitter updates themselves is just because I'm around the graphic side has allowed me to work on my photoshop and InDesign skills)

    I think they are vertical stripes. It is an identity, which says Bradford City to me. I know there are some on here who would prefer a white kit, but the colours are unique. In respect of stripes, then both Sheffield clubs have played with stripes during their existence. Notts County one of the oldest clubs in the world have stuck with stripes. For me City are Claret and Amber stripes.

    Even though I like the traditional claret and amber stripes I liked the white Admiral kit of the late 70s. Memories of McNiven, Baines, Staniforth, Mick Wood, Barry Gallagher......

    I’d love a version of our ‘blue army’ away kit from ‘96/‘97. Here’s a homage I did last week. 943EFA66-9C1D-43DA-9AA0-8EB0DE8620B2.jpeg
