No need. I know that it is the 2nd case, but trying to give the impression that it's the 1st case. Not that it bothers me - I just hope I prefer 1 of the 2 new kits next year.Ha ! not sure i care that much
ask him ...

You’d be hard pressed to find an away kit with stripes these days. There is the occasional few, but generally stripes detract from the sponsors agenda and they’re a valuable asset, so for the most part kit design is decided by them.
I’m not saying it won’t happen, but supposing it won’t.

Good shout this!

I emailed Barber last year to ask that it should be dropped.
As an away fan it is so difficult to spot your own players out on the far side, they just blend into the crowd, how then are the players expected to pick them out?

Not sure why the idea that the green shirt is more popular in sales (however you measure it) can’t be taken at face value but there’s always some who think he’s up to something !

Calderon, 4th from left, front row. Beckham in blue. That Chelsea player (whose name escapes me) in front of him.

Well, as Bozza says, you don't see many green shirts about. Except on the racks of the club shop, of course.
Do you think the yellow strip is simply "getting a run" is 100% believable? It's been chosen over the green kit for five games in a row. In fact, it must now be the most-used third kit in the club's history!
All this will come out in the wash, so to speak. Let's see if/when the green kit is used again... and how much it's discounted next season.

Could it be that the club want to clear the stock of yellow if it is finishing in May so by us wearing it they may sell out.

I'm sure the third kit traditionally gets a run out before Xmas for this reason.
But to regularly wear a third kit over a second kit just to shift stock would be a QUITE a sales strategy...

Why are you wasting the time of the Vice Chairman with emails about what colour kit we're wearing?!

The kit makes no difference to results, so lets not waste any time on this item

There has been much said about the players not being able to pick each other out with the green shirts but watching MOTD I noticed how easy it was to pick out the Man City players just by them wearing luminous socks perhaps that is the answer.

On a vaguely-related note, seemed a bit odd yesterday to see Derby turn out in dark purple and their keeper turn out in slightly lighter purple. Would have thought that in moments of high pressure, with a similarly coloured backdrop of spectators, would make it unneccesarily difficult to pick out your keeper. In a game of small margins, why make it difficult for yourselves?

I noticed the U23s wore the green strip against Man City – and won!

Has anything been said by the actual players about not being able to pick each other out, or is it just some fans who have said they struggle?
BTW I’m colourblind and it can be difficult watching them play live in the green shirts, but fine on the telly.
