Manchester City kit
Manchester City’s away kit retains certain features of the new 2021/22 home kit. The ‘scoreboard-style’ numbers remain, as does the V-neck design, but the way this shirt has been designed and manufactured represents a new concept.
Puma has teamed up with Xylem Inc. to produce the jersey using a ‘dope dye’ process, which significantly reduces water consumption. This initiative forms part of the club’s global campaign under the slogan ‘Citizens Giving’, which aims to harness the power of football to raise awareness about the use of and access to drinking water worldwide.
As such, we can see small details on the jersey, such as droplets of water, and the colours of the crest, shorts, numbers and other details all have a certain iridescent sheen that resembles the effect created when light passes through water droplets. It’s absolutely brilliant.
The truth is that this new kit is steeped in meaning, and the white of it looks absolutely brilliant on the pitch. We’ve already seen it in the club’s first matches of the season and, as you’d expect, it also suits new signing Jack Grealish down to the ground.
From a technical standpoint, the German brand has once again used Drycell technology, which ensures we stay cool and dry at all times, even after wearing the jersey for hours on end. The fit is slim, as is customary with top-tier jerseys, and the quality is beyond reproach, thanks once again to Puma’s expertise.
And so this is Manchester City’s new away kit: a jersey with a clear message about caring for the environment and the importance of being mindful of water. We’ll see how lucky it brings them this season. The Citizens have a lot to offer.
