I won't be buying it. Your designs were 1000x better.

I don't mind the new kits. I think they are nice I just don't like the big event for this. They're currently getting crushed by the media for the Man City replica see below.

Thanks dude, but I think my weren't too different from these. I think we all need to just forget the entire "Man City baby club" thing and just move on. If we win on the field, that's all that really matters.
Article is spot on. They should be called out for this. It's exactly my problem with Red Bull. The visual footprint of both clubs is based on a corporate partnership that I feel no allegiance to.
But yours were unique enough that I would have been ok with it. Most of us don't mind the sky blue, our problem is that if we wanted a Man City jersey we could have just bought one and put a NYCFC sticker on the crest.
Yes it looks similar to Man City's but wow some people are really overblowing this lol
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with the inclusion of sky blue as a color. That's fine, its part of our identity. Just as could be navy blue and pinstripes and orange. The problem is, as you stated, it is not unique at all.
I don't think it is for any one fan to determine what should be important to any other fan.
Its a classic look. There is nothing wrong with clean & simple.
(However, Drainyoo's designs are better)
Overall, great event.
In addition, since this is a discussion (some are going to take this the wrong way)... Third Rail: I loved the pride, the numbers that showed up, the passion; but I think Third Rail needed to act more professional at the event. With our executive team, CEO of Etihad Airways, corpo sponsors, media, etc. all present, shouldn't be interrupting speakers and hitting spectators with streamers. There's a way to act in the bleachers and there is a way to act at events.

I guess I am one of the few who like the kit, it was bound to be similar everyone knew that but i really like the look of it. I mean if it's a nice kit no need to go try and do something exotic or different for the hell of it imo
There is a difference between voicing your opinion and undermining those of others. If the kit is important to people, its not overblown. Nobody told you how to feel. Don't judge us by how we do.
Guys guys guys lets chill.
This kit will be 50/50. Half love it half hate it.
To each their own. Let's voice our opinions but no need to call each other out. We have our reasons. I like it and hate it. I love the sky blue but I hate that we didn't differentiate ourselves and set an image for ourselves.
Missed a big chance to make good on their promise of not treating NYCFC as Man City Lite. They can talk all they want about this being a separate, autonomous team but this isn't helping things.
Definitely see where you're coming from, and I too would have preferred something a little more unique, but at the same time did we really expect something so different? Our colors are the same as MC, and we all knew that Ethiad would be the sponsor. With those two things, it's hard for it to not look like MC.
Also, keep in mind that this is just the first jersey. Each year it will most likely change a bit. Maybe the jersey becomes more unique over time. But, I do think there will always be an MC element to it. After all, they own the team, and they're trying to build a global presence.
Can we all agree that the kit is beautiful and one of the best in the league? I think we can.
But why does this kit change that? The fact that the team is in a separate league and city, I would say that already makes it autonomous. What are folks afraid of? That they're going to change the name of the team to Manchester City? I don't understand the fear with being associated with MC.
Thanks!
I totally agree. Not only were they quiet when they were suppose to be loud, they started that chant at the worst possible time. Right in the middle of the host talking.
And what's with that chant? I don't remember it word-for-word, but it's something about being the only team in NY. Really? That's the chant they're going with? Sounds so petty and childish. Who cares about RB. We need to get over it. They need to create a chant that represents the team and the fans. Something inspiring and powerful, not a taunt that you'd hear in a school playground.

From the stream, they honestly didn't appear to be loud enough. The Etihad stuff was pretty hamfisted - this event didn't know whether it was a hype event or a corporate presser. I'm not surprised TR didn't know which it was either.
