Manchester City FC to Wear Purple 2014/15 Nike Cup Kit

Manchester City Football Club today released a purple 2014/15 Nike third kit that will be the team’s cup competition shirt for the ongoing domestic and European seasons. It will be on sale at World Soccer ShopUK Soccer Shop, Subside Sports and Kitbag  along with The Citizens new home and away kits.

According to Nike: The Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City will wear a bold new away kit featuring two tones of purple in cups this season. The new kit is inspired by designs City wore in the early ’90s and as recently as the 2007-08 season, and also features a lime green tone that City fans will recognize from kits of the past.

The shirt, shorts and socks are all in a lighter tone of purple on the front, while the entire back is a darker purple. These two tones are divided by a lime green stripe on both sides of the kit.

These stripes stretch from the collar, along both shoulders, down each side of the shirt, the shorts, and right down to the socks. The stripe will accentuate a sense of speed when players are in motion.

“This half-and-half appearance is a traditional football design, but we added a new twist,” said Martin Lotti, Creative Director of Nike Football. “We wanted to utilize vibrant color so the kits look brighter at night against the grass and under floodlights. Under a dark sky, these kits will look electric, as if powered by batteries, and will provide an almost electric flash of color on the pitch.”

The shirt also boasts a classic design with a sophisticated polo neck collar and a three-button placket in the darker tone of purple.

Inside the back of the neck is a marbled purple pennant tab with the message, “We are City.”

On the back of the shirt, the names and numbers are in a new italicized font in lime green with a drop-shadow purple border.
