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.
@City_Watch amma support united that’s tragic

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.
@City_Watch @Nike should’ve been ashamed of themselves. Really poor kit with to much navy. Give us white enough of this navy crap.

@City_Watch this makes me want to repeatedly punch myself in the face!

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

@City_Watch worst city shirt ever? Very possible
— Matty (@MatthY00lc) June 19, 2016
@City_Watch that is the worst in a long time

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

@City_Watch sorry to go on but i think we should boycott buying the new @mcfc home shirt,i mean just look at it!! Its pure shite……#NIKE

@City_Watch if they give us that, we definitely need to renegotiate the deal! Awful.

@City_Watch that’s terrible! No way that’s the real thing. Gotta be a training top. If that’s the actual home shirt, that’s embarrassing
— Drew (@trippingandy) June 20, 2016
@City_Watch that has to be a training top surely
— Pablo (@pablomcfc83) June 19, 2016
@City_Watch HOW much money are they getting paid for such shite?!
— LPJamison (@LPJamison) June 19, 2016
@City_Watch think i will give it a miss , too much dark blue for me ,
— dave wall (@59_dai) June 19, 2016
@City_Watch 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
