(N.B. - I would never go anywhere near the Mail, I just found the link.)

Looks okay.  The away kit in particular looks smart, but it also looks like 
the kit of a team getting beaten away from home.

Seems that proper behaviour is giving way to profit at City these days.

Even worse than that, what on earth are you doing reading the mail, Mr 
Cakey?

The splash page on the website is quite amusing, it shows what the shirt 
would look like on a typical fat lad.

I think that's goaty...

From the website-
"Due to customer feedback the shirts are now more generous"

What a surprise, yesterday they announced an extension to the Thomas 
Cook deal, which gets round the two year lifespan/subject to contract line.
I'm sat here wondering if i had anything to do with the changes though.
This time last season i emailed City complaining about the insipid shade 
of the new home shirt, i told them that they should decide on one shade 
of blue and that  for me it should be the one Colin Bell is wearing on 
the cover of his biography. Newcastle don't seem to have a problem 
redesigning black and white stripes, so why should City use many 
different shades of blue.
I also said they would find favour with the fans if they would keep the 
black and red stripes as the away shirt and change the third kit or if 
they want to have changes to the away kit, keep going back to the red 
and black with every other change.

How so? If neither the sponsor nor the shirt manufacturer has changed, why 
is there a need to break the 2 year committment?

If you think that someone actually read and considered what you had to say 
then you've got more confidence in City than I have. Nice designs though. 
Lord knows why they didn't adopt that away shirt design years ago, it'll 
sell by the bucket load.

A black man in a City shirt, I thought it was probably you...

I'm not trying to justify it, i'm just considering how they might.
