Manchester City 2025/26 Home Kit by PUMA: Iconic Sash Debuts in Sky Blue
Manchester City and PUMA have unveiled the highly anticipated 2025/26 home kit, marking a bold shift in design direction. For the first time in the club’s history, the iconic sash design a diagonal white stripe across the chest features on the home jersey, set against the club’s signature sky blue backdrop.
A Historic First: The Sash on a Man City Home Jersey
Long associated with Manchester City’s away kits, the white sash now takes center stage on the home kit, blending innovation with heritage. This design nods to the club’s rich past, especially the 1970s era, when the sash was worn by legends like Mike Summerbee, Colin Bell, Francis Lee, and Tony Book.
The new look aims to unite generations of fans by bridging tradition and modernity, creating a visually striking and emotionally meaningful design for the 2025/26 season.
Launch Film Celebrates Community and Fan Culture
To celebrate the launch, Manchester City and PUMA produced a short film directed by Glenn Kitson, shot at the Clayton Official Supporters Club near the Etihad Stadium. Presented as a fun, talent-show format, the film stars John Thompson (of The Fast Show and Cold Feet) and features first-team players like Erling Haaland, Manuel Akanji, Oscar Bobb, and Alex Greenwood.
The campaign highlights fan culture, community spirit, and the inclusive vibe that continues to define Manchester City’s global appeal.
Performance & Fit: Authentic vs. Replica Jerseys
The Manchester City 2025/26 home kit is available in two formats:
- Authentic Version: Engineered with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE technology for minimal weight and reduced friction this is the exact kit worn by players on the pitch.
- Replica Version: Features the same visual design but in a more relaxed fit, perfect for everyday wear. Both versions include dryCELL moisture-wicking technology for enhanced comfort.
Sustainability at the Core: PUMA’s RE:FIBRE Initiative
The new jersey reflects PUMA’s sustainability goals through its RE:FIBRE program. The Replica kit is made with at least 95% recycled materials, using textile waste and post-consumer polyester. It’s a clear step toward eco-conscious football fashion without compromising on style or performance.
