Manchester City Kits

Manchester City are nicknamed just City or the Blues and they wear home shirts of sky blue. A famous face who donned the shirt was Sir Matt Busby who went on to be much better known for his management of big local rivals Manchester United. With Manchester City being title contenders nowadays, the club now boasts an array of superstars like Kevin de Bruyne, Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez and Erling Haaland.

 

Manchester City 25/26 Home Kit

The 2025/26 Manchester City Puma home shirt had a distinctive white sash that ran diagonally across the front, from the left shoulder down to the right waist. It was flanked by lighter and darker blue accents, adding depth and a sense of motion to the design. It might be the first Manchester City home kit to feature the sash, but it certainly had its historical roots when you look back at the club’s secondary kits in the ’70s.

2024/25 Manchester City Home Shirt

Puma and Manchester City cleaned up the body of its 2024/25 home shirt in favour of peripheral design. Much of the visuals were carried out by the sleeve cuffs and collar. On those trims, the club ran a stylised graphic based on the area code 0161.  To make the aesthetic even more visible, navy and sky blue combined to produce a contrasting weave. The shirt was meant to represent that 0161 was not just an area code, but a way of life for the Mancunians.

 

 

2023/24 Manchester City Home Shirt

The feature design for the club’s Puma 2023/24 home kit was a tonal striping pattern, ribbed for added visual activity. The v-collar was made white to enable a dual pinstripe in the base colour to flow through the middle and add another graphical variety. Because of the proximity of the middle stripes, it looked as if the shirt had one wide band at the centre flanked by narrow ones, despite the striping formation actually breaking down into four. The turrets outside the Etihad Stadium provided the inspiration for the aesthetical choice.

 

 

2022/23 Manchester City Home Shirt

Manchester City tweaked its primary outfit slightly for the 2022/23 season. The Sky Blue base was there, but the central logo placement was a refreshing sight, and the coloured sleeve cuffs and round collar came in maroon with a single white central stripe running across, giving the shirt a unique colour dynamic. Introduced in the teaser video ‘Long Live the King,’ the shirt was a tribute to one of the club’s greatest players ever, the late Colin Bell.

 

 

2021/22 Manchester City Home Shirt

The Citizens played with a predominantly sky blue home shirt made by Puma for the 2021/22 football season. A white underside panel on both left and right provided a colour accent to the traditional base. Aside from the said side trims, the front and the sleeves flashed a tonal and micro all-over pattern showing the scoreboard font style. The inside text 93:20 of the v-necked shirt was a tribute to Sergio Aguero’s goal against QPR done in the 93rd minute to win the 2011/12 Premier League title.

 

 

2020/21 Manchester City Home Shirt

City’s 2020/21 home shirt radiated with its sky blue base, crafted by kit maker Puma-the same brand that sponsored the team’s mercurial striker Sergio Aguero. Based on Puma’s ‘Crafted from Culture’ approach to kit-making, a prominent feature of the next-gen kit was the mosaic pattern permeating up front and extending to the sleeves. The mosaic print was derived from the mosaics of cultural icons that were found all over Manchester. It was worth noting that the mosaic print of the uniform also looked like shards of glass being glued back together, a symbolical reminder that next season was a chance to pick themselves up and rebuild together considering their downturn of form in 2020.
