The Puma x Manchester City Home Kit for 25/26 debuts the iconic sash design on the Home jersey, blending club heritage with future vision.
A Fresh Take on a Classic Look
PUMA and Manchester City have officially revealed the Home kit for the 2025/26 season. This release marks an exciting new chapter in the club’s design history. Notably, for the first time, the iconic sash will be featured on the sky-blue Home jersey. This diagonal stripe became famous on Away kits from the 1970s. The decision to include it in the Home kit highlights the club’s dedication to blending tradition with innovation. Fans can look forward to wearing a jersey that honors the past while embracing a fresh, bold look.
This reimagined sash design blends the club’s rich history with a sleek, forward-thinking aesthetic. Originally worn by legends like Mike Summerbee, Colin Bell, Francis Lee, and Tony Book, the sash has long held emotional value for fans. Now, it makes a meaningful return to the forefront, aiming to unite generations of City supporters under one bold look.
A Launch Rooted in Community and Fun
The team celebrated the kit launch by showcasing a unique film directed by Glenn Kitson. They filmed the project inside the Clayton Official Supporters Club, located just steps away from the Etihad Stadium.Comedian John Thompson hosted the film, adding a lively touch to the event. Moreover, it features appearances from stars like Erling Haaland, Manuel Akanji, Oscar Bobb, and Alex Greenwood. Each of these players brings their own flair to the video. As a result, the film effectively captures the essence of Manchester City. It showcases not only the talent of the players but also the spirit of the club’s community. The humor, warmth, and heart of the people associated with Manchester City shine through, making it a celebration of both the team and its supporters.
Mike Summerbee called the sash “a loved design that people remember fondly,” expressing pride in seeing it return on a Home kit and in taking part in the launch video himself.
Innovation Meets Performance
Players wear the Authentic Jersey, crafted from ULTRAWEAVE—a lightweight, performance-driven fabric that minimizes weight and friction. For everyday wear, the Replica Jersey provides the same visual appeal while offering a relaxed fit.
Both versions feature dryCELL technology, which effectively wicks away sweat to enhance comfort. This innovative fabric keeps you dry, making it ideal for active wear. Furthermore, the Replica jerseys proudly support PUMA’s RE:FIBRE initiative. They are made using at least 95% recycled textile waste. This commitment to sustainability highlights the brand’s dedication to reducing its environmental impact. By choosing these jerseys, you not only enjoy superior performance but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
Looking Ahead: Debut at the Club World Cup
Fans can look forward to seeing the new look very soon. Manchester City’s men’s first team is set to debut the 2025/26 home kit during this summer’s Club World Cup in the USA. This exciting event will mark another historic moment in the club’s journey. As the team takes to the pitch in their fresh colors, supporters will be eager to witness the new design in action.
The Puma x Manchester City Home Kit is available now at PUMA.com, Manchester City Official Stores, and select retailers worldwide.
