By a mile. I know some like our home kit, I think it looks ****.
That’s what I’m seeing. Man City the club of choice for most.
Haven’t seen any young kids wearing Man City shirts round my way. Picking up my grandkids from sports practice Liverpool have edged into the lead over Man Utd. Whether these are their own choices or foisted on them by their parents is the question. A smattering of different clubs due to parents moving here from lesser footballing places. Seen Coventry, and even Plymouth amongst others.Still a few City shirts from the kids of parents bringing their kids up right as well.
There’s loads in West Hull Villages. All my lads mates are now Man City converts. He’s strictly Hull City and he’s not changing
Man City shirts are all over where I live. There’s at least 10 lads in my sons year at school that are converts.
It could well be this. Obviously with it being a successful club it is less likely, but it happens.
I had a Real Madrid shirt years ago, I ****ing can't stand them now, I think I had it because I was a) a kid and b) because they'd just signed Beckham. Somewhere I have a New York Cosmos shirt, I've never seen them play. I've got a France 98 shirt too (though I do have the excuse of being half french, if that really counts).
I had Spurs
Arsenal
Coventry
Nottm Forest
Man City
Everton
Leeds
England
Scotland
Germany
Barca
Real
Etc when I was young
Couldn't stand most of them just liked the kits
No they all claim to be ‘supporters’ which drives my lad crazy. He says to them you only support them because they are good.
He’s already accepted he won’t see City filling trophy cabinets. He must feel like an Arsenal fan
You wanna hope he doesn't end up having the same sense of entitlement as an Arsenal fan.
He’s used to the frustration of being a City fan by now. He just rolls with it.
Whilst we're on the subject of club shirts we had and clubs we reckoned we supported as kids. I went through way too many. I was a Newcastle fan because I liked the shirts. Then I was a Villa fan, I liked the shirts, I went through quite a few. It seems funny to me now that I decided I was a Celtic fan because they wore green and white hoops, the same colour as my junior school rugby team I played for.
Thing is though, I never had any one of those shirts, because my Dad wouldn't buy me one. He said they were too expensive or just mumbled something incoherent.
Then he took me to Boothferry Park (Only because my Mam finally allowed him to), and being blown away by the experience, I nagged him for a City shirt. The following weekend I had my first football shirt. A Hull City football shirt.
I can't thank you enough Dad x

It could be worse. We could have gone for a striped shirt and ended up with one like Huddersfield’s.

My first team was actually Man City! Honest. Frannie Lee, Mike Summerbee, Colin Bell, ......
Before I really knew anything much about football, and before I'd been to a live pro game, they were my favorite team.
Then I got taken to BP. And later I understood about supporting your local team. The rest is history as they say.
But still, bit of a bugger that I didn't get taken to Maine Road instead
Hull City Tygers AFC could still have been my 2nd team. Then again, everyone would now think I was just a sad old glory hunter.
(p.s. only joking, I wouldn't change a thing. The decade, and 2008/9 made it all worth it. And some. Others could never understand).

There's a photo of me on me mam's fridge of me in a Newcastle shirt from the mid 90s - I have no recollection of it.
Speaking of dads, with my dad being a fan of TWS, he tried to push a few bits of Leeds merch on me. I probably did at some point have a Leeds shirt in my very early years, but I've managed to scrub that from my memory. But he was the same man who bought me my first City shirt, so I can't stay mad at him.

"Others could never understand".
That's it, in a nutshell GF. I actually feel sorry for people who support clubs other than where they come from. They'll never feel what we feel when surrounded by our own. That sense of belonging, irregardless of what your clubs history or which division your in and that goes for every fan that supports their home town club.

I forgot to include Liverpool. Yes I thought I was a Liverpool fan at one point. Think I'll go self harm, I deserve it
Really sorry about your Dad, Quill. Never mind, we all have our crosses to bear.
