The highly-anticipated Manchester City away shirt, inspired by the club’s 1998/99 kit, has been spotted on sale in Italy ahead of its official release. The new design has been eagerly awaited by fans and is expected to feature predominantly navy with ‘fluo-yellow’ and sky blue stripes, reminiscent of the successful 1999 Football League Third Division play-off Final against Gillingham.
The new Manchester City away shirt is priced at €94 in one store in Florence, likely to be the stadium jersey rather than the authentic version worn by players. It is unclear whether the official club launch of the away kit will coincide with the club’s pre-season tour of the United States, where they will face Celtic at the Kenan Memorial Stadium with a focus on giving Academy players a chance to impress Pep Guardiola.
The new away kit has generated excitement among Manchester City fans, with its nod to historic victories adding to the anticipation for its official release. The similarity to the iconic 1998/99 design and the connection to significant moments in the club’s history make the new release one of the most eagerly-awaited of the Puma era at Manchester City.
