City have released their new kit, paying tribute to the team that won promotion to the First Division back in 1999, 25 years ago. City were 2-0 down to Gillingham in the play-off final that season but staged a stirring comeback and won on penalties to forever change the trajectory of the club; had they not won the game, it is impossible to say if they would have received the level of investment that has seen them dominate the Premier League in recent years.

PUMA’s kit is a sustainable one, too, with the replica shirts made using RE:FIBRE, which uses recycled textile waste to make new materials. There are authentic and replica versions, with the latter offering a more relaxed fit and the former similar to what will be worn on matchdays by Erling Haaland and co.

To celebrate this iconic match that has been etched into the hearts of the City fans, PUMA has brought back the navy-blue jersey featuring neon yellow vertical stripes, with neon yellow and blue detailing on the classic collar and sleeve trims.

As well as Haaland, KDB, Dias and Wembley hero Dickov, the likes of Jeremy Doku, Manuel Akanji, Kyle Walker, Laia Aleixandri and Jess Park all got a chance to wear the kit ahead of launch.

The 24/25 away kit will be available in both Authentic and Replica versions, ensuring that every fan can wear a piece of history.

The Authentic jersey is crafted with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, designed to reduce weight and friction, providing elite-level performance.
