Fresh from German sportswear giant Puma securing a record-breaking $1.35 billion (£966 million) new kit deal with Premiership football club Manchester City, the pair have launched a new retro-inspired Away kit for the 25/26 season.
Inspired by Man City’s oldest-known kit, which dates back to 1884 when the football Club was based in Gorton, it’s a tribute to the early ‘Cityzens’ and comes with the reimagined design heralding the club’s “innovative spirit”.
Merging the classic and contemporary, the all-black design comes with metallic crest and silver details along with a traditional white-trim collar “to celebrate the timeless essence” of the team.
The kit contains at least 95% recycled textile waste and other used polyester materials, Puma noted.
Marco Mueller, Puma’s senior director of Product Line Management Performance Apparel, added: “Not many people would know that black was the original colour of the club, and we love to celebrate the culture and identity of our clubs and what sets them apart. Another first is that this is the first time Puma has ever shot a campaign fully in black and white, which really ties in beautifully to the design of the kit”.
The jersey, available now in both Authentic and Replica versions, will make its official debut when Manchester City play Palermo at the Renzo Barbera Stadium on 9 August in a pre-season friendly.
