Manchester City have gone all out to make a big splash with the source of creative inspiration for their new third kit -- the dreary Mancunian drizzle.

City have opted to pay homage to the famously near-perpetual rain clouds over Manchester with a perplexing jersey that is sure to split opinion between those who think it is a quirky cult hit and those who believe it to be among the worst football shirts ever designed.

Certainly among the wetter cities in the UK, Manchester has on average 86.7 centimeters of rain every year. However, it is positively tropical in comparison with the very wettest such as neighbouring city Preston (103.4 cm), Welsh capital Cardiff (120.3 cm) and Glasgow in Scotland (1,370 cm).
