Fusing a timeless look with leading innovation see's Nike and Manchester City team up to launch the new 15/16 home kit from the City Football Academy with the help of several fans.
A club with mounting stature over the global game, this kit takes inspiration from City kits of the past. The iconic 'Sky Blue', which is so truly synonymous with the club, is paired with a classic white collar to give it a touch of class. Manchester, a powerhouse influence on football culture, style and the game as a whole, this kit does the blue side of the city proud.
As City go in search for silverware, this contemporary number with its slim white polo neck collar and concealed buttons, is a shirt for on and off the pitch wear. Structured yet laid back, it takes heavy influence from music and fashion scenes so iconic to Mancunian life. Appreciators of the finer detail, the white stripe that we have seen on a number of Nike kits runs down each flank, moving into the pure white shorts.
As an exclusive through the Nike Football App, several fans were given the opportunity to attend the City Football Academy and be the first to see the new design and hear about the insights that went into the creation of the kit.
Getting exclusive, behind-the-scenes access and time with the players at the shoot, fans took photos with their team, and became part of the launch, as the athletes first shared the resulting images directly with those very fans via social media. A nice way of connecting with the life-blood of Manchester City, the fans.
The new 2015/16 Manchester City home kit will be available at selected stockists including Pro-Direct Soccer from July 10. Sophisticated match winner? Let us know below.
