Manchester City fans have named the club’s 1984-86 striped black and red kit as the club’s most iconic away strip.
As proud partners of Shelter’s #NoHomeKit campaign, we asked City fans to have their say on the club’s most iconic away kits.
There was a runaway winner, with the 1984-86 kit, made by Umbro and sponsored by Philips, coming top with 43 per cent of the vote.
It’s easy to see why fans love the kit - it’s similar to the club’s 1969 FA Cup-winning strip and was also what City wore the season they won promotion from Division Two.
In second place on the vote was the 2009-11 third kit.
The minimalist Umbro kit was a nice throwback, with the Etihad sponsorship neatly tucked away under the club’s badge, rather than in the middle of the shirt.
With a black and red stripe going diagonally across the plain white shirt, it is a kit that has proved popular with fans, with 32% voting for it as their favourite away strip.
In third place on the list, with 13% of the vote, was the club’s 1998/99 striped yellow and blue kit, sponsored by Brother, which was worn in the legendary play-off final victory over Gillingham.
The club’s 1997/98 away kit - a blue, white and claret shirt - came fourth with 7% of the vote.
In fifth place with 5% of votes was the club’s whitee kit with claret pinstripes, worn between 1982 and 1984.
