Man City Bring Classic All-Black Kit to Life for 2025/26 Season

On Friday, English Premier League side Manchester City unveiled the team's new away kit for the 25/26 season.

The new black kit is a tribute to the early Cityzens, reimagined with a nod to the Club’s innovative spirit. 

The all-black design takes inspiration from the Club’s oldest-known kit, combined with metallic details to celebrate the essence of Manchester City.

This black kit dates back to 1884, when the Club was based in Gorton.
