No other serious football club fannies around with their kit like City. Do Liverpool, Man Utd, Everton, Man City or Chelsea experiment with anything other than plain shirts? Do Newcastle, Sheffield Utd or West Brom ever not have variations on vertical stripes? You never see QPR or Celtic in anything other than hoops. A club's identity is partly tied up to its colours and style of kit - we've argued for years with the Allams about identity and marketing but we make that job much harder if the world can't hang their hat on how the **** the club wants the world to see it.

Stripes. And stick with it.

I'd say our identity is one of a club that likes to change it up by switching between plain and stripes - that's tradition.

I think it's good we switch between the two - lots of fans of other clubs get ripped off by their club doing the bare minimum in changes each year. We get something different every time. Eclectic.

Yes a fair assessment
 
I keep thinking this when people say we'll announce signings in batches because Acun is media savvy. Minimising your opportunities to generate hype sounds distinctly unsavvy to me.

Yeah that logic always seemed a bit strange.
