Man City will have bizarre new kit font next season and fans don't like it

Manchester City will have a strange new kit font for their games next season, it has been confirmed.

City are looking to win a fifth Premier League title in a row under Pep Guardiola after making history by pipping Arsenal on the final day last time out.

The sky blue kit has already been released and features the '0161' dialling code for Manchester.

But in a bold move, City will also sport a brand new navy front on their back of the shirts.

The font has been designed by former Oasis songwriter and guitarist Noel Gallagher, a staunch City fan.

His handwriting makes up the font, which will be featured on all shirts in Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup games and is completely different to last season's.

It will not be present in the Premier League, where the official set font must be used for names and numbers.

City teased Gallagher's involvement with a snippet on social media of somebody writing on a piece of paper.

But the font has a remarkable resemblance to the classic Comic Sans font on Microsoft and has prompted a whole lot of negative reaction.

One wrote: "They’re trying to be 13/14 Real Madrid soooo bad."

A second said: "Comic Scams."

A third wrote: "Christ that is atrocious."

Another fumed: "I’ve defended this club a lot over the years, but adopted a font resembling comic sans, for actual competitive football matches, is even too far for me. Relegate us to the Conference & strip the lot."

A fifth joked: "Sensational use of the font every Mum uses on their android phone."

A sixth made the point: "It’s basically Comic Sans!!"

City kick off the new Premier League campaign away to Chelsea on 18 August as Guardiola goes head to head with former assistant Enzo Maresca.
