Modern football fans can be a fickle bunch.
Back in the old days, you either followed the team your father supported or the rivals of the team your father supported until the day you died.
Nowadays, all it takes is one unsightly jersey and supporters are ready to jump ship.
‘Tis the season for Premier League kit leaks and the most recent reported images to appear online are that of Manchester City’s new home jersey.

The navy and sky blue design, combined with the new City badge, is too much change for some fans who have claimed that they are off to Old Trafford if the leaks are true.

If that is actually City's new kit I'm downing tools and supporting United.

While most weren’t ready to take the ultimate leap and switch football teams, the overriding sentiment among City supporters was definitely a combination of fury and disappointment.

@KunDeBruyne That can't be a new kit – look at the wallpaper behind – it was clearly taken in the 1970's!

Jesus, the back is even worse than the front. Nike really are awful at making kits

can't get my head round how awful that shirt is. What a shame to reintroduce the badge on a shirt with no tangible club history
