Fans don’t know what to think about Manchester City’s new away kit

You can't say Manchester City aren't willing to try new things.

There have already been some big changes at City - with new manager Pep Guardiola coming in, new signings and even *another* new club crest. But why stop there? Kit makers Nike have been cooking up something a little different in the kit department for City this year. The new home strip was a departure from some of the more classic City kits down the years. But now they've gone and re-imagined the club's away shirt. Last year they had a rather dapper navy blue shirt with sky blue detailing. However, Nike say they have gone back to some of City's most classic colours - red and black - and brought it bang up to date with some sleek design.
