Reigning Premier League champions Manchester City have finally unveiled their home and away kits ahead of their 2019-20 season.

The new shirts are being made by Puma, the first designs of their partnership, featuring Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Leroy Sane to model the new PUMA kit which City say, “pays tribute to Manchester ‘s industrial and cultural heritage.”

The 2019/20 home kit is traditional sky blue features a “woven jacquard wave pattern” which is intended to represent ‘Manchester’s industrial heritage, celebrating the true grit, fight, and character that emerged from the cotton mills of Manchester.’

The jersey will also feature a mark of City’s 125th anniversary and features purple flashes on the shoulder, a nod to the purple that has appeared on City kits in the past.

The 2019/20 away kit meanwhile celebrates the “Madchester” years, a period of extraordinary cultural activity in the late 1980s and early 1990s and is inspired by former nightclub, The Haçienda by iconic yellow stripes on the right shoulder.

“The partnership between Manchester City and PUMA goes beyond football.

“We want the club’s global fans and local Mancunians to all feel invested in this, and it starts with combining our very creative kit designs with authentic stories from Manchester’s history and music scene,” said Adam Petrick, PUMA’s Global Brand Marketing Director.

“We want to bring Manchester City and PUMA’s brand initiatives together when and wherever we can, and that means going beyond the pitch, into wider areas of football culture such as gaming, community, fashion and music.

“That’s how we can really impact football fans of all ages and demographics.”
