There is only one team in Birmingham worth supporting with true passion and Birmingham City is it.  I have been supporting them since 1978 when Jim Smith was the manager.  He is my favourite manager to date.   I am a blue nose ’til I die.

My initial reaction to seeing the new home shirt was it looks like a normal plain t-shirt but it’s OK and it will be one of those looks that will grow on me. There are different shades of Royal Blue and I would have preferred it to have been a more traditional darker shade.  The bands around the neck and arms would have been better white and the shorts would have been better white but it is not a bad kit.  It is one of them that will look better in person and worn.

I have always liked the Nike swoosh logo so I was pleased when we first had them as our kit supplier. However, like feeling the same when we had Adidas before them, it was disappointing that they make very generic tops, where as in the past we have had varied styles from different suppliers.

I don’t know much about the new kit sponsor Undefeated and as much as the front logo looks like a garden gate, it makes a nice change from gambling sponsors and it is nice that the kit is the same throughout the men and women’s teams and kids can wear the same as the adults are.

Although tradition plays a big part in it for the fans, in the end, it isn’t all necessarily about what colour a football kit is, the sponsors and advertising on it or what players name is on the back, what really matters is the club badge on the front. That represents all of us who follow this fantastic team.  That is where the true passion lies.
