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.

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.
