JERSEY RELEASE???

I have no real fandom for any Premier League team, except maybe a soft spot for Arsenal, and I also love this jersey. It's simple, classic, timeless. A pretty good starting point to shape our own unique NYC identity.
 
Ok, now that I have calmed down and gotten over this, I don't hate it as much. I still think it's a mistake and will ultimately hurt the clubs credibility and it's ability to attract supporters of other EPL clubs. By selecting this shirt, they chose to accept the ridicule that this is Man City USA. IMO, it would have been much smarter to have either a.) not done this shirt at all or at least b.) revealed the alternate shirt during this event, assuming they make that one somewhat unique from MCFC's shirts. They had to have known that people would not have been upset with this and those who were ok with it, were most likely expecting it so the whole reveal was foolish.
However, pretty much every sporting club that I support has done things that I hate, especially the Yankees, so i'll get over this mistake and hopefully down the line they move away from the identical kit. Up until this event, they have done just about everything correct and they are making serious progress! hopefully this is simply a bump in the road and not a sign of things to come.
 
If you don't like the jersey, just get the away/alternate and stage a mini-protest at the games.

I feel like it's pretty much inevitable that NYCFC will diversify its look away from MCFC in the long run.

All that said, I like the jersey.

Damn, dude! They're super clean! (except for the terrible sponsor and that weird denim kit haha)

Like someone said above, REALLY glad that they wen't with white shorts instead of going 100% blue like MCFC. I hate solid kits.

the blue shorts for MCFC is a rarity. Hate it personally. Love the white shorts

What I think NYCFC should do,is to have 3 or 4 jerseys they would like to produce and then sell. Let the fans vote before next years Jersey Week and then, they sell the winning jersey. Maybe then they could contact of our fan made designs like (Drainyoo, sorry if I spelt your name wrong) and that could be our third jersey. That way it really is "For the Fans, By the Fans". Sorry if none of this made sense, I would love for some feedback. Thanks!

Just curious, why does the club have to consult with fans before doing everything. What other NY team does that?

Come on now. You can be pedantic all you want but it doesn't change the fact that there is a huge difference between having a jersey that looks almost exactly like the parent club and having one that looks almost exactly like another club with no direct connection.

Honestly I really don't think this would have been nearly as controversial on this board if the people who liked the kit weren't so caught up in bashing those who don't.

Everton, Leicester & Chelsea share the same shade of blue. Care to comment on that?

We can go in circles like this forever if you want.
 
There comes a time in every argument where all the evidence has been presented, all the reasonings made and everyone knows where they stand on the debate. At such a time, no matter how long you go on arguing, no-one's mind is going to change and all that's going to happen is the same mud is going to get churned up as the argument just goes round in circles.

I think it may be time for people to agree to disagree.

What you call bashing, I call educating the ignorant. And there is an abundance of ignorance on this forum regarding club ties.

Please...no more of this. Can't we keep the discussion focused on the jersey release and not about our Manchester City roots.

You aren't wrong...but we can't have every thread spiraling into a discussion about Manchester City. We all know the ties exist. If some people choose to ignore it that's fine. Just like other may choose to ignore the Yankee ties. If the topic keeps straying from the OP we're going to have to start moderating the thread.

this IS about the jersey. I've asked the Everton supporter what his views are on his club sharing colors with a host of other clubs, as it seems that isn't allowed. I've yet to hear his response, not surprisingly.
 
If they would make a slight change to the assembly, for example pairing the shirt and shorts with orange socks - as seen in my avatar - would the issue then be solved for those that cry foul now?
