Designed with Manchester in its fabric, the sky-blue kit features threads of 0161 in the trim – a reference to the Club’s roots.
For the 2024/25 season, the kit will be worn by all sides representing the Club, including the Premier League and Barclays Women’s Super League sides managed by Pep Guardiola and Gareth Taylor.
Manchester’s 0161 is more than a dialling code.
You’ll see it written on lampposts, printed on t-shirts, and even tattooed on people. It’s a sense of what being Mancunian is all about – a sense of location, no matter where you are in the world.
This season, 0161 can be seen woven into the eye-catching trims of the 24/25 Home kit and the world is invited to wear it, experience it, and feel it. From East Manchester to Istanbul, Northern Quarter to Norway, Moss Side to the other side of the world.
Serena Gosling, Director of Integrated Fan Experience and Retail & Licensing, at City said: “Every year our kits provide us with an opportunity to connect with our fans in Manchester, the UK and globally, as shirts and wider kit collections, are an increasingly popular token of fandom.
“By incorporating ‘0161’ in this year’s Home kit - something that resonates so strongly with the City of Manchester - we’re able to connect fans around the world with the club and our city in a different way.”
“We’re also pleased that all of our Replica shirts are made using PUMA’s RE:FIBRE initiative, as we continue to work towards a more sustainable future together.”
To celebrate the launch of the new kit and the creativity and culture of Manchester, the new launch video featured Mancunian rapper Mikey Taylor (Tays) who wrote and performed the soundtrack for the MCR 0161 Home kit launch film.
Speaking about his involvement in the launch, Tays said: “As a City fan, it is a dream come true to write and perform a track for the launch of the new Manchester City 24/25 Home kit, celebrating 0161 and what it is to be Mancunian.
“I love how it’s in the design of the shirt – it’s fresh, but still reflects what it means to be City. I hope fans around the world connect with the track, and I can’t wait to see the team walk out in this kit.”
With Manchester in its fabric, the new Home jersey is available in both Replica and Authentic versions featuring cutting-edge technology to provide maximum comfort and the highest performance on the pitch.
Designed for the fans, the Replica jersey pairs that same match-worn look with dry-CELL sweat-wicking technology designed to keep those in the stands dry and comfortable, even on the tensest of matchdays.
Ideal for both game day and everyday wear, the Replica jersey is made from PUMA’s innovative RE:FIBRE recycling technology and contains at least 95% recycled textile waste, the jersey is as much a fashion statement as it is a symbol of next-level performance.
The Authentic jersey, to be worn by the likes of Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker and Alex Greenwood on the pitch, and by fans around the world, is made with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, which reduces weight and friction, and features an athletic fit for elite-level performance.
In addition, gamers around the globe will get a look at the new Manchester City kit in the hugely popular game, Fortnite, and its gamer-built Creator Worlds.
