Manchester City have revealed their new home and away kits for the coming season.
The Blues claim that the PUMA kit, launched today and featuring Sergio Aguero , David Silva and Leroy Sane in the promotional pictures, "pays tribute to Manchester 's industrial and cultural heritage."
The home kit is, of course, in the traditional sky blue but features a "woven jacquard wave pattern" which is intended to represent the cotton looms which made Manchester the world's first industrial city.
It also bears a crest acknowledging City's 125th anniversary this year, and the blue kit also features purple flashes on the shoulder, a nod to the purple that has appeared on City kits in the past.
The black away kit is intended as a celebration of the city's "Madchester" years, and is directly inspired by the iconic yellow stripes of the Hacienda nightclub , which can be seen on the right shoulder.
The sleeve cuffs are peach and sky blue.
PUMA’s global brand marketing director Adam Petrick said: “The partnership between Manchester City and PUMA goes beyond football. We want the club’s global fans and local Mancunians to all feel invested in this, and it starts with combining our very creative kit designs with authentic stories from Manchester’s history and music scene.
“We want to bring Manchester City and PUMA’s brand initiatives together when and wherever we can, and that means going beyond the pitch, into wider areas of football culture such as gaming, community, fashion and music.
"That’s how we can really impact football fans of all ages and demographics.”
