You can’t say Manchester City aren’t willing to try new things.
There have already been some big changes at City – with new manager Pep Guardiola coming in, new signings and even *another* new club crest.
But why stop there? Kit makers Nike have been cooking up something a little different in the kit department for City this year.
The new home strip was a departure from some of the more classic City kits down the years.
But now they’ve gone and re-imagined the club’s away shirt. Last year they had a rather dapper navy blue shirt with sky blue detailing.
However, Nike say they have gone back to some of City’s most classic colours – red and black – and brought it bang up to date with some sleek design.
The kit, which goes on sale from August 4 on the Nike website, is predominantly black with red details on the shoulders, down the sides and on the shorts along with flashes of yellow.
Even the club’s new crest has been given another new look in the yellow and black of Manchester’s emblematic 19th Century worker bee. Because history.
Some fans bloody loved the new away strip.
