It was all going so well for Northampton Town.

The League One club had just unveiled their sparkling new third kit and it was getting a pretty decent reaction from fans – and then Manchester City turned up, uninvited, and ruined the party.

Here’s the number Northampton were promoting.

Look familiar?

City thought so too, and it’s unsurprising given it’s essentially their shirt from last season.

On Monday a mischievous member of staff hi-jacked Northampton’s tweet, implying that the Cobblers’ kit was less than original.

They’ve got a point – but still, let them enjoy it!
