Manchester City’s upcoming 2024/25 away shirt has been leaked, drawing inspiration from the historic 1998/99 play-off final against Gillingham. The shirt features a combination of sky blue, dark navy accents, and white details, with the ‘0161’ dialing code integrated into the collar and cuffs as a nod to the Greater Manchester region. The release of the away shirt follows confirmation of the imminent release of the home shirt, which pays homage to Greater Manchester as well.

The 1999 play-off final between Manchester City and Gillingham was a memorable match that saw City staging a remarkable comeback.

The upcoming away shirt for the 2024/25 season is expected to be popular among fans, despite mixed and predominantly negative reactions to the design.

Reputable sources suggest that Manchester City’s new 2024/25 away shirt will be released between late July and early August 2024. The shirt’s design, inspired by the historic play-off final victory, is sure to resonate with fans and bring back memories of one of the most memorable moments in the club’s history.
