London City FC
Image information
- Description
- Based in central London (City of London), with its own newly built stadium, we find London City Football Club. The colors like London City FC uses are the same as found on the city's coat of arms. And it's also where the inspiration for the logo came from, with the sword and the cross in red and white. The sponsor, Old Mutual is an international long-term savings group with headquarters in London. The decision to use red hoops on the shirt came after trying to find reached that would make the club "unique" and something that would be "their thing". And to avoid the club just becomes another template-club, with shirts like everyone else's.

Think that the comment regarding a template club isn't really valid, especially as you kits look very much like the wing templates just with plain sleeves.

Maybe template was the wrong word you used.
A teams identity can't be defined by the kit given to them by the manufacturer.

well, I think that a team acually can loose it's identity with a unoriginal kit. For example, last season over here in sweden there where two teams with the EXACT same kit ,colors and manufacturer.

But back to your design - kits with hoops look really cool and crest is absolutely great. Clear, without redundant elements, nice shield (not like Crystal Palace badge). Really nice.
