There’s something powerful about breaking tradition. About doing things your own way. For Manchester City, that’s always been part of the DNA — and for the 25/26 season, PUMA channels that defiant spirit into a bold new take on the home kit.
For the first time in the club’s history, the iconic sash — that diagonal stripe long associated with away-day folklore — makes its debut on Manchester City’s home shirt. Drenched in the unmistakable Sky Blue, it’s a visual remix that bridges generations: a nod to the past, a shot into the future, and a full-throated statement that at City, convention has never been the rule.
From the terraces of Maine Road to the treble-winning glory of recent years, City have never followed the crowd. The 25/26 kit is a fabric embodiment of that ethos. Subtle yet striking, nostalgic yet progressive — the sash doesn’t just sit across the chest, it cuts through the noise.
Performance has always been at the core of PUMA’s design language, and this season is no different. The Authentic Jersey features PUMA’s groundbreaking ULTRAWEAVE technology — the lightest performance shirt they’ve ever made. Engineered for elite athletes operating at full tilt, it’s designed to move at the same speed as the game.
Sustainability also gets its spotlight. The kit is constructed using PUMA’s RE:FIBRE process — a revolutionary approach to textile recycling that transforms polyester waste into high-quality, reusable fabric. It’s innovation with intent, delivering a more circular future for football fashion.
