From The M.E.N.

Manchester City's home and away shirts will carry the First Advice sponsorship brand for the coming season.

Despite the financial difficulties surrounding the parent company of the Blues shirt sponsors, it has been decided to stick with First Advice when the new Reebok branded home kit for the 2003-04 season arrives in store on July 17

It is believed that both City and Reebok decided that the cost of reprinting tens of thousands of shirts and the lack of time to find a new shirt sponsor led to the decision to retaining the First Advice brand, with whom the Club had an existing sponsorship deal.
