steelman1991 Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Would have been better with the "cooling towers" woven into the design, rather than BS - they did little to avoid the demise of Ravenscraig. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 At first glance it looks very ‘Man City’ but the sleeve trimmings and what appears to be a nod to the British Steel ‘S’ logo in the pattern are a nice touch especially since it will be thirty years next July since the ‘Craig was demolished. The only let down is the ‘mfc’ lettering replacing the badge but I know we used lettering long before the club badge on our kits. A solid 9/10 for me. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but I don't like the badge. I think we can pay tribute and still have a feeling on the top it didn't blow me away with the design I think it's fine. I preferred last year's tartan and champagne kits but I don't hate this year's away I don't love it either but if it ends up being the kit we win the cup in I'll maybe be swayed to bump it a few points.

Given how creative Macron have been with other kit designs this summer, the cooling towers may have been a more fitting touch and more pleasing on the eye. I also don’t get the shade of blue. Two below par efforts for me this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I get the whole meaning behind it and how massive Ravenscraig was as we all must have had a relative working there. Was devastating when it closed. I don't like the colours though, just my opinion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I really like the kit. Love the sentiment behind it with the 30th anniversary coming up. I do prefer the petrol blue we have used before, but this also works well with the claret & amber trim. Quite plain and simple with some more subtle detail. Kind of torn on the British Steel logo, as Steelman 1991 says, the organisation weren't blameless during the closure, but it does link into the community sentiment and the workers were a bigger a part of the place than the management ever were. Would buy one in a second without the G4 Claims sponsor. Will wait to see it in the flesh before I decide to part with my cash. 8/10.

I'm struggling to find our connection with Argentinian blue? Far more appropriate to the likes of Scunthorpe United, I would have thought. Have we borrowed one of their designs? If we're going to go down the route of an historical emblem again in future, I'll make a strong case for pit winding gear. That would be iconic.

mio Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I really like that, I like the ravenscraig link but I agree the British steel discussion from earlier. But it is a nod to the area and our family members, who most of us all have, who have connections to working there. i like sky blue as well (much nicer than “petrol”blue imo) and it sits nicely with claret and amber. I also agree even as an old fella, I’d buy that if it had “we fkn hate thatcher” on it (as the main sponsor) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While British Steel shoulder some of the blame, if they were a bank with those financial problems the government of the day would have been more than happy to throw our tax money at them and keep them afloat.
