Global sports company PUMA and Manchester City have unveiled the brand-new third kit for the 2024/25 season. The jersey, revealed to fans yesterday in New York City, features a classic burgundy color with metallic gold trims.
This design represents the constant movement both on and off the pitch, encapsulating the spirit of a club that’s always evolving and pushing forward. This shirt will be worn by the club during their Premier League, UEFA Champions League, EFL Cup, and FA Cup campaigns in the upcoming season.
Manchester City’s journey is characterized by perpetual motion, and the new 2024/25 third kit pays homage to this dynamic legacy. The ship from the Manchester City crest, a symbol of the club’s rich history, is transformed into an all-over tonal graphic. This design element represents the past, present, and future of a club that’s continually advancing, reflecting the relentless drive and ambition that have become synonymous with Manchester City.
The launch of the 2024/25 third kit took place during Manchester City men’s first team pre-season tour of the USA at a lively ‘Block Party’ event on 49th Street and 5th Avenue in New York City. The event, held in collaboration with PUMA Hoops, featured a custom-built court where special guests, including Jack Grealish, Pep Guardiola, Erling Haaland, and Oscar Bobb, enjoyed a basketball dunk show and other activities.
The show featured 2x NBA Dunk Champion Mac McClung and other surprise guests. To celebrate the merging of cultures, PUMA and Manchester City also created bespoke Manchester City basketball jerseys in the Home and Away colors, which were unveiled at the event.
The Manchester City 2024/25 third kit will be available in both Authentic and Replica versions. The Authentic jersey, worn by players like Jack Grealish, Jess Park, and Manuel Akanji, is crafted with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric. This fabric is designed to reduce weight and friction, ensuring elite-level performance on the field. The Replica jersey offers the same distinctive look with a more casual fit, making it ideal for both match days and everyday wear. Both versions incorporate PUMA’s dryCELL sweat-wicking technology to keep fans and players dry and comfortable throughout the match.
Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, commented: “The 24/25 third kit is a tribute to Manchester City’s enduring spirit and forward momentum. Our goal was to create a jersey that captures the essence of a Club that’s always moving forward, both on and off the pitch. This stunning kit embodies the relentless drive and ambition that defines Manchester City and its supporters. We’re proud to support City’s journey with a kit that combines innovative design with sustainable practices.”
