Manchester ASDA store introduces new Santa outfit after complaints from City fans

Derby rivalry gone mad

Simon Lloyd

As we all know, Santa wears red and white.

Although this has nothing to do with any footballing allegiances, an ASDA store in close proximity of Manchester City’s Etihad stadium is taking no chances.

As reported by the Manchester Evening News, the shop has decided to introduce a unique half blue and and half red Santa outfit so they are seen as being impartial when it comes to the city’s footballing rivalry.

According to the report, the two tone outfit was made after Manchester City supporters complained about the traditional red outfit when visiting the store on match days.

A Santa suit with a royal blue half has also been introduced in one ASDA store in Liverpool.

What next? Half and half scarves?
