Manchester City supporters have all been questioning the point of the Chinese New Year kit which has been released today.
The smart blue kit with a gold trim has received the seal of approval by City fans and lovers of football shirts in general. It has been created to celebrate the Chinese year of the rabbit which begins on Sunday, January 22.
However, at this stage it is unlikely to ever be worn by the Blues squad in a competitive fixture. This season, shirt manufacturers Puma have created three kits which will be worn in City's four competitions.
