MANCHESTER CITY players donned their new mash-up jerseys while warming up ahead of the Premier League clash against Fulham – but fans are not convinced by the design.
Players from both sides also wore Kick It Out shirts in protest against racial abuse blighting the game currently.
Fans at Craven Cottage could see the mash-up jersey for the first time since Nike released it earlier this week to celebrate the club’s nine shirts from the past six seasons.
Among the kits is the home shirt from City’s centurion season in 2017/18 in which they broke the Premier League record points tally.
And the third shirt from their domestic double winning campaign in 2013/14 also gets involved.
But fans made their feelings known about the courageous design and took to social media.
One joked City deserve “points deduction” for wearing the shirt.
While another wrote: “Looks like a puzzle off the krypton factor.”
And a third simply asked: “Could it be worse?”
But City starlet Phil Foden was thrilled to model the new shirt.
He told the club’s website: “My personal favourite is the home shirt from last season, I made my debut wearing that so it means a lot to me.
“It’s great because the fans will be able to point out the jerseys and relive the memories created in them.”
Fans will be able to buy the jersey from April 10 at Nike’s website and select retailers.
Only 6,000 shirts will be available, an each of them will be individually numbered.
