Since I joined the Forum, I have wondered why most male fans have a beef with our NYCFC team Jersey?

Today, I attended the Barcelona Club event on Bryan Park about " the making the largest soccer jersey into the Guinness Book of Records.

I attended the event and I proudly wore my beloved NYCFC (Azul Celeste ) Jersey and everyone . kept telling me "You are a Man City fan" and kept replying over and over . . . . " No, I am a fan of New York City Football Club. " Suddenly it hit me that its the reason Why many the males fans are not fully in love with our Jersey's colors. Our Jersey looks like Manchester 's City jersey's

forum members here you can now express why you are not fully happy with Our Azul Celeste.

Correction: I am very happy with our "celeste" its one of my favorite color. iF you are happy/ neutral / detest it/love it
don't be shy, and express it on this forum and this thread

Our Jersey looks like Manchester City's jerseys
I'm pretty sure that many people have been complaining about this since the first kit was unveiled before the inaugural season.

Personally I have no problem with it, but I've also never felt the need to run from the fact that we're a CFG team.
 
There aren't that many colors in the universe, of course we're going to have the same color as someone else. I realize CFG owns us and has branded us to align with Man City, but who cares. There are a lot of teams in MLS whose jerseys look like a major team from Europe.

I care far more about how the club represents the city than about who their jerseys look like.
 
Love the sky blue as our primary color.

All hail the hypnokit as our secondaries.

You may mess around with the third.
 
Hate the V, hate the dark blue with the city blue. City blue and white should be the primary forever. Mess with dark blues, oranges, etc. for the secondary/tertiary.
I ilke it and I like the new one for almost all the reasons The Toe The Toe hates it :laughing:

I think the V is smarter, the dark blue too more than the white cuffs and any hint of orange is good by me.
 
First Sky blue is pretty much my favorite color. Of course I do support citeh and Marseille have long been my favorite foreign club! I have mixed feelings on the dark blue. I probably like the white better on the field but for practical discoloration from neck sweat reasons I like the dark n my replica LOL.

I imagine Midas might have been a bit confused at times yesterday because from certain angles (at least on TV) with the Fire in all red it sure looked like Man City VS Liverpool out there!:D

Love the Sky Blue color and really dig the navy additions and orange trims to give some NY authentiCITY but I don't dislike the similarity with ManCity and believe it's actually a benefit.

I don't particularly like the secondary kits. Too much going on for me. I really just like the simple clean look on jerseys.
 
there is apparently a skyblue GK jersey....i just dont know when will it be used
 
I have zero tolerance for those types of people. I would love to see the number of those in attendance that have never been to Barcelona and have never been to a Barcelona match. Just a bunch of poser FIFA players.

Our team. Our city. Our colors. F*** everything else.

I was under the impression that you couldn't register GK kits which shared primary colours with any of your outfield shirts, but maybe I'm wrong.
 
I love our jerseys. I'd argue already our sky blue kits are among the most distinct in MLS to the casual fan due to the CFG connection and Man City, and I am totally cool with that.
 
except that SKC has worn our jerseys for years and are often indistinguishable from us even now. I dont give a shit about Manchester, but within the league you shouldn't have the same jerseys.

Not trying to be contrarian, Tom, as you and I usually agree on most things, but what colour scheme would you propose so we don't clash with any other teams?

Puce?

Just make kc or us stick to a certain color shorts for example. I hate watching highlights and I can't tell which team is playing. Skc have usually been light blue and dark blue. So stick to that and don't let them have white shorts if that's our primary. Otoh, we shouldn't be wearing dark shorts which is their gig.

I agree, you can't have each team with a totally different color Jersey, but they can still be identifiable.

Lol, puce

Fair enough. I agree, light blue and white should be our domain only.
