2018/19 Kit Thread

So what do you Irish posters think off the orange sash / orange order connotation?
I certainly didn't make that connection myself, but some people on Twitter seem to think that the kit is "reprehensible".

I've no problem with it, I believe those that are making that link need to take their heads out of their arse.

That's what i thought as well, but I'm not (Northern) Irish, so to me it's just an orange stripe.

I think it looks shite with or without Orange order connotations. Honestly do people go out of their way to be offended?
Where did these Orange Order connotations come from?

The shirt looks shite! Plain and simple! You don't need to look for any other reason to hate it.

it’s not just the orange stripe though

purple and orange is an inflammatory combo

first thing i thought of when i saw the kit was the orange order sash so surely someone at city must have made the connection and thought that it may not be the greatest idea...

doesn’t bother me but it’s a self inflicted ‘mistake’ by the club.

Get rid of the kit and make the players play bare chested!!!

Can’t.
That’s The Newcastle away strip.

If somebody can link that shirt to a political statement - they have serious issues

[nottsblue]

I don't mind it as it goes. Clearly not a patch on the red/black traditional away kit but the sash is not a bad thing.

[Bluedj]

Any fatty seen wearing it might taken for a walking Terrys Chocoate Orange

[Moonchesteri]

Like the sash, the colours make it just..meh

For me
Home shirt 2/5
Away shirt 4/5
Third shirt 3/5

What a stupid looking shirt.
What happened the black and red stripes?

Do you mean the away kit for this season? I think this is the 3rd/CL kit.

I thought they wore collars not sashes?

[Dubciteh]

As an irishman the only thing offensive about is its absolutely disgusting! Good riddance nike(although i like their training stuff!)

[dave watson's perm]

i get envious when I see the Bournemouth kit. Red and Black sripes for next season please

No not the away shirt for this season i am on about the old away shirt of black and red vertical stripes.
Surely for the third shirt it could be a theme on that traditional design.

Not something a 4 year old with a packet of crayons designed.
