Global sports brand PUMA and Manchester City have officially revealed the Club’s new Home kit for the 2026/27 season, introducing a bold design that perfectly captures the club’s relentless drive for success and innovation.
The new jersey features a full gradient of Manchester City’s iconic sky blue, transitioning from a darker shade at the shoulders to a lighter tone towards the bottom. Completing the look is a striking metallic monochrome club crest and sponsor detailing, giving the kit a modern and distinctive finish while remaining unmistakably City.
The design embodies the spirit of progression and ambition that has defined Manchester City’s rise to the top of world football. It celebrates a club that continuously pushes boundaries and refuses to settle, even after years of extraordinary achievements.
Maria Kiebacher, PUMA Director of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, said the new kit reflects Manchester City’s unique identity.
“Manchester City is not a typical football club, and everything about this kit and this campaign reflects that. The gradient tells a story of ambition and progression, and it reflects a club that has always been willing to do things differently. We are very proud of what we have created together, and we think the fans are going to love wearing this shirt.”
The launch is accompanied by the playful ‘Not Your Typical City’ campaign, which highlights the mindset behind the club’s era of dominance. Featuring stars including manager Pep Guardiola, striker Erling Haaland and defender Alex Greenwood, the campaign video showcases the new kit in a series of unusual scenarios that reinforce the idea that Manchester City is anything but ordinary.
Serena Gosling, Director of Retail, Licensing & Integrated Fan Experience, said the new Home kit remains true to the club’s heritage while embracing a contemporary edge.
“Every season, the new Home kit reveal is an exciting moment for our fans, and we hope this one is going to land in a really special way. Remaining true to the club’s identity with our iconic City blue, the kit has a subtle modern twist to bring it into the new season. It’s City, but Not Your Typical City.”
Beyond aesthetics, the new Home kit delivers cutting-edge performance technology. The Authentic jersey is constructed using PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, an ultra-lightweight material designed to provide unrestricted movement and maximum comfort. PUMA’s dryCELL and ThermoAdapt technologies work together to regulate body temperature and manage sweat during high-intensity performances.
For supporters, the Replica jersey offers the same match-day appearance in a more casual fit and is produced using RE:FIBRE technology, consisting of 95% recycled polyester sourced from textile waste, placing sustainability at the heart of the design.
The Manchester City 2026/27 Home Kit is available from 20 May at PUMA retail stores, PUMA.com, Totalsports, JD Sports, Sportsmans Warehouse, Studio 88 and Takealot. Pricing starts at R1,199 for the junior replica jersey, R1,499 for the adult replica version, and R2,999 for the Authentic Team jersey.
