Kit?

Weeks of rumours and speculation with regard to next season's kit may have turned up something substantive. A ManCityFans.net poster claims to have an e-mail from Executive Chairman Garry Cook's secretary stating that:

There will actually be an announcement with regards to the kit this Friday 27th
June, so please look on the website and local press for information.

There is already a photo in circulation of next year's home shirt (below), which is only a minor change from this year's. Significantly, both the manufacturer and the sponsor stay the same, despite rumours of both Nike and Singha Beer.







I hope that the shirt announcement will coincide with some playing staff announcements, whether purchases or new contracts. There is talk (admittedly on bluemoon) that the Ronaldinho deal hinges on a deal with Nike - so the two could presumably be announced together. But, to be honest, a new shirt alone would be sufficient to keep me excited about next season.
