urban.spaceman Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 Thoughts on it being on the kits? I like it personally. Mainly as it’s been on a couple of my personal favourite kits in recent years:
Skulking Around Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 I think the gold gets its unfair share of hate. It's always been a trimming to the blue and white. If you look at our past kits, we've had the odd yellow on occasion, and ever since the owners took over, it's been a constant element. I consider the touch of gold to be a sign of our new found improvement, and well, it looks good in my opinion. To the outsider, they probably think the gold comes from the fox, and from everything I've seen when it comes to promoting the Premier League, it's always been blue and white, with a touch of gold. It separates us from Chelsea and Everton, and makes us stand out a little bit. Anyone looking at our kits are going to think blue and white first It also gave us our fantastic looking trophy ribbons, (because how boring would it have been for it to be just blue and white?) I like it, it gives us a bit more of an identity, and it's always been the third colour to our blue and white.
sylofox Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 I'm not going to fall out with the club over a little gold. If they ever change our home kit to red they can fook off. And no I would never buy it as a change kit.
Guest Electric Yetis Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 Think it looks shite, just think blue and gold looks terrible. But then I'm probably in the minority as I really like this year's home shirt, think it looks really smart.
rn9013 Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 Considering what the owners have done for our club, I’m not going to argue about them wanting a bit of gold on the kit. To be honest, I actually quite like it anyway. Anyone moaning about a bit of gold trim needs to be thankful we don’t have Vincent Tan at the helm!
Fox in the North Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 If the worst things our owners do is plaster King Power everywhere and we have gold trim our kit, then I can live with it.

Whilst simultaneously investing in the squad, training ground, facilities and local charities... Bastards!
bovril Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 Not going to lose sleep over it but our colours are blue and white, not blue and gold.
coolhandfox Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 It's a kit, more concerned with who wears it on the pitch and how they play.
Phube Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 Although if they changed the shorts to gold I think I would rebel!!!

ithuriel Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 Needs a, not bothered by this trivial issue, added to the vote.

Yeah, I am. 14/15 was the last time I believe we had the white shorts, and since then; the crest, shirt number and the King Power logo has been the largest source of white. It's very striking in comparison to the gold trimmings. Those elements do play a part in the identity of the kit. Look head on in any of our kits since 15/16, and you're going to notice the white parts long before any of the golden bits. All third party advertising of Leicester also supports the blue & white with a hint of gold set.
Aus Fox Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 We’ve had a gold trim and even a gold away shirt since way before our current owners took over. I first started following City properly in the early 90’s - Pleat Out - As far back as I can remember there has always been blue, white and gold.
Heymister2015 Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 Gold was here long before the owners came! so its not like its out of the ordinary to have gold! yellow/gold, white and blue are the clubs colours! So whats the controversy of it?

Blue, white and red back in the late 80's/early 90's The Scoreline and Bukta kits?
Stadt Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 We're blue and white. Not only is it not our colour in most cases it looks shit as well. 1 hour ago, Skulking Around said: It separates us from Chelsea
Stadt Posted 5 May 2019 Posted 5 May 2019 1 minute ago, Aus Fox said: Two gold-y yellow shirts doesn't mean it's acceptable to have it as the secondary colour on our home shirts. We've had red and green away kits before but you wouldn't want those as our secondary colour, would you?
