I hated the Nike shirts. As bad as I think these Reebok ones have been at least they're bespoke. All the Nike ones we got were catalogue kits and at least two of them were kits that Man City had had a few years previously. I think the period of 12/13-14/15 might be our worst ever run of home kits, the 15/16 away kit was a Palace kit and you could just feel the lack of interest and regard Nike had for giving us anything other than a list of kits that you could buy for your Sunday League side that they would slap a badge on. As much as I don't rate Castore as a company, they've turned out some of the nicer kits in recent memory.
Got to ne honest - the more I see this kit on social media etc, the more I'm going off of it.
I agree, I was just thinking that this third kit is going to age really badly. I went through some of our previous kits to today's and I am already rolling my eyes as I get to this new one. Gimmick kits can be divisive at the best of times but they almost always end up being mystifying a few years down the line
I wish we’d gone a little bit more retro/classic with the designs. When I think of Reebok, it evokes 1990s fashion - my favourite pair of Reebok Classic trainers, gelled French crops, giant billowing shirts worn by Michael Owen.
I got quite excited when I saw some of the recent football “fashion” shirts that Reebok had produced. The patterns and fit are a bit bonkers but I’d love a CAFC shirt in that throwback style. I guess they’ve decided to go down a more modern, “technical” route with these designs, and the kids will love them - fair enough!

I wasn’t a massive fan of the Nike kits, but this is my favourite home kit in decades

The red Hummel 1992 tribute special is probably our best red shirt.
Hummel did a good job of the shirts but the club shop around that time was terrible iirc
The Nike shirts were generally bad with the exception of that one with the colour above - the quality of that shirt was pretty good as well I think. And I think the badges were still embroidered.
For what it's worth I think this seasons Reebok kits look absolutely awful but it's the poor quality of them that puts me off buying more than anything else.
Luckily the shirts from 20 years ago have survived so I can still wear them. I don't think the same will be said for the Reebok kits in 2045.

Moan time .. I don't like either of the new away kits, they look cheap and tatty I wish we had stayed with Castore and (much earlier) Nike .. their shirts were well designed and of good quality
Nike well designed?! One was just a red polo shirt that was 6 shades too dark, another one was a kit that many lauded as the worst home kit with had in a while, possibly ever!
Controversial but I really like this shirt and still wear it

I suppose washing it a few times might do the job..
The K is starting to go on my son's shirt so perhaps that is the way to go.

A second at free kicks and penalties could be a good strategy but three is too many imo. I can’t see this shirt getting used.
