The kit is inspired by the Club’s history, with specific design elements voted for by the Club’s fans.

Cityzens were invited to vote exclusively on the details, such as: which crest the kit would sport and where it would be positioned, whether it would be in full colour or monochrome, which Manchester symbol would feature on the back (the ship, the bee or the rose) and the commemorative wording on the inside tape of the neck.

Take a closer look at the design in the images below...
