Man City Unveil Stripey New Away Shirt During FA Cup Parade (Photos)
By Chris Wright
Some clever bods in the Man City marketing department chose the club’s FA Cup parade through the streets of Manchester yesterday as the perfect platform to unveil their new Umbro away kit for next season – and a right bobby-dazzler it is too.
But don’t just take Pies’ word for it, have a butcher’s…
The parade sets off from Manchester Town Hall
Carlos Tevez holds the FA Cup aloft
The parade makes it’s way down Princess Street
After donning their new strip, the Man City mob mingle before the trophy is presented at Eastlands
Kompany and company
Carlos Tevez applauds the Man City fans in the stands
“Right, you’ll like this one. A Belgian, a Bosnian, a Serbian and an elderly French gentleman walk into a bar…”
Bobby Mancini lifts the FA Cup
“Basically, could I have a condensed Pink Floyd concert for £500?”
Lovin’ that new strip. With their new, striped-back ‘tailored’ approach, it looks like Umbro have got it right once again.
Any thoughts?

nice kit
shame its wasted on such mercenaries
Shades of AC Milan much?
@Radagast: It certainly does have a Milanese flavour to it, but the design is actually a throw-back to one of City’s most famous kits – the 1969/70 away strip which they wore whilst winning the FA Cup, League Cup and the Cup Winners Cup.
Its a tribute to the past. the last squad to win fa cup was in 1969 and their kits were similar
Chris you beat me to it, and explained it better
It was designed after AC Milan’s strip, to inspire City to win like legends do -never original the skyblues: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_City_F.C.#Club_crest_and_colours
What a kit… I’m a City fan but I gotta say that I am totally feeling everything Umbro is doing lately.
umbro is amazing, nike should take notice on the new barca kits
@Chris, comment no. 4
the “throw-back to one of City’s most famous kits – the 1969/70 away strip” is because THEIR OLD STRIP WAS BASED ON AC MILAN’S KIT
some people
-_-
If you look at the players from the back there is a yellow streak running down the centre!
So berlusconi her’s a gold mine if you are interested.
I mean surely this can be one of their big money transfers of the summer .
loving the Partridge reference at the end. hating city, as always…
