So first we had Argyle sporting yellow a year or two ago, and now City have decided to do it too!

Fans don't seem too happy on exeweb!

So they've nicked our shirt design and seemingly Mansfield's badge. How very original.

Change the badge and sponsor and that is a shirt I'd buy and like to see us play in at home. Unlike the yellow and white one.

Nice shirt....better than ours.

very plain and boring, looks a typical league 2 offering.

but i would rather have that, than yellow and white stripes.

They are claiming "links to Brazil"? The only link that I can see is nothing, nothing at all.

Brazils first ever match was against Exeter, something like that. I cant remember exactly.

You would be correct.

It might have had a Brazilian link, had the shirt been given green trim but the fact that it is blue trim and is also a standard pub team template http://www.prosocceruk.co.uk/?i=4704...Long%20Sleeves then it suggests the link is more tenuous.

You can imagine the club saying, 'Let's cash in on this rather thin Brazil link,' 'Joma. Do you have anything in yellow?' 'Yes, we have this Torquay kit. Will that do?' 'Great, nobody will notice!'

Exeter fans could buy that shirt for something like £15, without a badge and flybe sponsor.

Say what you like about Vandanel/Sondico but at least (other than the Conference kit) we seem to get bespoke kits from them that you don't see a pub team in.

In fact the whole kit industry seems very lazy at the moment. Adidas, Nike and Puma seem to have lots of contracts but they are all templates. Lots of clubs, even Premiership clubs, all seem to have different versions of the same design. I would rather have a smaller manufacturer and have a unique kit.
