Has anyone else been e-mailed asking to pre order the new away shirt??

Incase you haven't, City are basically saying "Order the new away shirt, without seeing it!" released on the 23rd

Wonder what's taking so long??

agreed ww. Why would anyone order it without seeing it? sure it's pretty much certain it's the one from the leaked photos but even so.

He's probably made an 8-10 year olds' one for himself already in the factory.

I suspect that sales of the home shirt have been so poor compared to other releases that they expect this one to be even worse!

Was almost tempted the other day to buy the home shirt but the cheap looking shield and sizing are a real step down in quality compared to our Umbro shirts and put me off big time, I suppose we were spoilt but Nike are really crap.

The rags used to have one with the swamp in the material, so why not.

I actually suspect that's better than the real one

We had one with Maine Road in the material, I think, around 95-96

Just noticed on the OS that the away kit is released 5am (BST).... Which also just happens to be 00:00 New York time. Kinda really does show how far we've come and what markets we're desperately trying to target.
