Man City Unveils 2025/26 Away Kit Inspired by 1884 Jersey

Manchester City has unveiled their 2025-26 away kit, designed by PUMA, which pays tribute to the club's earliest known kit from 1884 when the team was based in Gorton. The all-black jersey incorporates metallic silver details and a white-trimmed collar, blending the club's historic roots with a modern and sleek design. This kit honors Manchester City's origins as St. Mark's West Gorton FC, whose first uniform was also all black with a white Christian cross, before the club switched to sky blue and later adopted the Manchester City name. The new away kit is part of a significant 10-year partnership between City and PUMA, reportedly the most lucrative in Premier League history, and features sustainability credentials with its replica version made from recycled materials. The kit will debut in a pre-season friendly against Palermo on August 9, 2025, and is available to fans online and in stores with special discounts for members and season ticket holders. This design is a meaningful nod to the club’s legacy while signaling an exciting future as Manchester City continues to compete at the highest levels domestically and internationally.
