Manchester City FC Unveils Its 2025-26 Home Kit Featuring Iconic Sash Design

Manchester City FC's New Home Kit for 2025-26 Season

Manchester City FC, one of the prominent football clubs in the English Premier League, has officially announced the release of its new home kit for the 2025-26 season. This new kit will be available for purchase starting May 13, 2025, at 4:00 PM, through various outlets including the PUMA stores in Harajuku and Osaka, the official PUMA online store, and selected retailers.

First-Ever Sash Design in Club History

The standout feature of this season's home kit is the introduction of the 'sash' design for the first time in the club's history. Previously seen in away kits, the sash—a diagonal stripe pattern—has been reimagined in the club's signature sky blue color. This bold design pays homage to the rich history and traditions of Manchester City, symbolizing the club's identity both on and off the pitch. It also represents a blend of nostalgia and a step towards modernity for the fans.

Special Launch Film

To celebrate this launch, Manchester City FC and PUMA have produced a special film directed by Glenn Kitson. The film features a talent show format hosted by John Thompson, known for his roles in The Fast Show and Cold Feet. Featured guests include current players like Erling Haaland, Manuel Akanji, Oscar Bobb, and Alex Greenwood, engaging in lively discussions and celebrating the joyous spirit of the community. This engaging film showcases the pride and joy of being a Manchester City supporter, offering an intimate glimpse into the club's culture and values.

Innovative Materials and Technology

Sustainability is also a key focus in the development of this home kit. PUMA has integrated its revolutionary recycling technology, RE:FIBRE, which repurposes polyester textile waste into new fabric. The Authentic Jersey utilizes PUMA's proprietary lightweight fabric, ULTRAWEAVE, designed to enhance performance by minimizing weight and friction, allowing players the comfort and flexibility they need on the field. On the other hand, the Replica Jersey features dryCELL technology, known for its moisture-wicking properties, making it suitable for both match days and casual wear. Over 95% of the materials used in this jersey are recycled.

Comments from PUMA and Manchester City

Marco Mueller, PUMA's Senior Director of Teamsport Apparel, expressed excitement about the sash design, stating that it reflects a message to fans around the world about embracing uniqueness, creativity, and innovation. Mike Summerbee, a club ambassador, shared his nostalgia for the sash, emphasizing its special connection to the players and supporters alike. He conveyed his hope that this kit will create new treasured memories for fans across the globe.
