Man City unveil new home shirt for the 2023-24 season

Manchester City have unveiled their new home shirt for the 2023-24 season, with the shirt paying tribute to the 20th anniversary of the Etihad Stadium.

The strip, designed by global sportswear giants Puma, is inspired by the striking navy kit worn during the club’s first campaign on the pitch.

City moved to the Etihad in August 2003 after spending 80 years at Maine Road, with the change of venue marking the start of a glittering era filled with trophies.

As a tribute, Puma designed the latest version with the architecture of the pitch in mind. Indeed, the front graphic of the jersey was inspired by the four giant turrets positioned around the room, forming subtle tone-on-tone bands.

The stadium’s postcode is also displayed on the back of his collar, again marking the two-decade milestone, while the kit is completed with a white V-neck, identical to the same design used for Etihad’s first kit , the 2003. -04 domicile.

In the meantime, state-of-the-art technology has been used to provide optimum performance and comfort on the pitch for City’s superstar squad.

The kit is crafted with ULTRAWEAVE fabric and equipped with a four-way stretch design to reduce weight and friction, allowing players to move freely.

In stores, the Replica version available is made with 100% recycled polyester and dryCELL technology, allowing its wearer to stay dry and comfortable.

Both jerseys are made with 100% recycled materials, except for the trims.

As part of the launch, Puma and City have invited selected supporters and club representatives to feature alongside the male and female first-team players.

Shaun Wright-Phillips, a member of the team that played at the Etihad in its inaugural season and now a club ambassador, hopes the new kit will bring back old memories.
