Manchester City FC is proud to unveil its new away kit for the forthcoming 2008-09 season, in association with Official Club Sponsor, Thomas Cook, and Official Sportswear Partner, le coq sportif.
This year’s strips are a return to tradition, with the popular red and black stripes for the away shirt, first introduced by Malcolm Allison in 1968 and worn for many of the Club’s victorious domestic and European cup campaigns of the late 60s and early 70s. The new shirts are again amongst the most competitively priced in the Premier League, with prices held from last year at £30 for adults and just £19 for juniors.
The away strip, whose black and red stripes are reminiscent of this year’s Thomas Cook Trophy opponents AC Milan, will be available to order online from Monday 21 July.
Thomas Cook branded third kit and training wear will be available later this summer.

looks ok i guess
Love the preference of black over red.
Cannot see the need for a third kit with sky blue and white for home and this away though!
Roll on launch day
Anyhow its not a bad kit, though the LCS logos would have been better off in white rather than fluorescent yellow.
HATE the crappy sponsor materiel
Nike next year
Not bad,but I can\'t stand the yellow LCS logo and this asymmetry.
The socks would be good for MUFC...and they are very similar to AS Roma 2004-05 Diadora socks design

I\'m not a City fan (\"My old man said...\") but they have been wanting a black/red striped shirt again for years, why they couldn\'t do a better one than this I don\'t know as people do better mock-ups on home computers than these companies come up with.
shit badge aswell
crap
Btw, us changing to the red and black stripes was actually inspired by the success of the AC milan side of back then. And it worked for us too, lifted all sorts of silverware with it back then.
And to all the dirty rags posting about a city kit for some reason

This website is footballshirtculture which means ALL football shirts. We may not like some shirts, we may not like the teams, but all are welcome here. Telling someone to sod off to their own page makes it sound like this website is just for Man City fans (hey I prefer Citizens to Red Devils anyday but I hope you get my point!)
the kit is great
Oh, the hilarity.
Nice modern take on the classic red and black stripes, I think. The one thing I would change is the odd effect on the red stripes. Our away colours should be red and black stripes every season, so we can\'t complain too much.
sadly its not looks like the french \"censoreded\" up again
loved last seasons shirts (yes even the purple)
The home shirt looks a bit crap (basicallat like a training top!)
Always loved the red and black striped shirts but the bubbles and yellow LCS logo spoil this one
Lets hope for our sack the 3rd kit is nice so we ca wear that instead of the home one
Adidas for next season (adidas make awesome kits - love the designs of the current adidas shirts and found some home made mock-ups on here that were fantastic) fingers crossed!
lets hope for a good 08-09 season under hughes (unsure about him he hasnt done all that much at blackburn - no trophies just keeping them afloat really) good signing in Jo, Ronaldinho would be a luxury!
The shorts are just dull really.
The socks are okay and I do like the white edges on the stripes it is smart, the coller needs a re-think, as there is nothing intersting about it.
on the other down
WE LOVE YOU ABU DHABI!!
