HomeAfter four years of following a red/white colourway, City fans were delighted to welcome navy back into the clubs kits. The home kit, based on the Harlequin II Game template, saw City wear halved shirts for the very first time (Varsity Red/Midnight Navy). It was to be worn with navy shorts and socks and was used again in 2009/10.
This kit was worn with white away shorts during the home game against Histon in one of the very few times that home colours were changed to avoid a kit clash. |
Away & ThirdThe adventurous new away kit was all white with black shoulders, grey/white gradients and an intricate swirling pattern effect. The most interesting feature of this design though is its strange collar, which does not reach all the way around the front of the neck.
The light blue and maroon third kit was carried over from the 2007/08 season. No numbers were worn on the front of these shirts this season.
|
SpecialA fourth kit was based on the Legend Game template and worn in the FA Trophy final. Its purple colour was inspired by the ecclesiastical purple worn by the Archbishops of York. The match-worn shirts were autographed and auctioned on behalf of the Archbishop’s Youth Trust.
"The first day of the sale of the shirt...yielded no fewer than 160 purchases to reap in more than £5,000 worth of revenue." Adult: £40 XL Boys: £35 Junior: £33
