Manchester City have released a gorgeous new all-white away kit and supporters are absolutely loving it.
Over the course of the last few years it’s been pretty common for City to release some absolute belters when it comes to their kit range. From home to away to a third strip, they seem to hit the mark more often than not – and it helps when they’re winning trophies in these shirts too.
Cop or drop?
The latest addition to the family is a water-inspired white away kit which, based on these tweets, is going down pretty well.
In terms of the actual thought process behind the scenes, City explained the idea in the following statement.
“Produced with a special Dope Dye manufacturing process to reduce water consumption, the new kit pays tribute to the Club’s global charity initiative, Cityzens Giving, which uses football to raise awareness of and access to safe water across the world.
“The striking new shirt features water droplets throughout the design, whilst the Club crest, PUMA cat, Etihad and Nexen sponsor logos feature iridescent colours, resembling the effect of light breaking through water droplets.
“One in three people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water.
“To help address this challenge, Cityzens Giving and Xylem, the Club’s Official Water Technology Partner, have collaborated with PUMA to deliver an innovative global programme, blending football-based education on water, sanitation and hygiene, and clean water access for communities in need.
“The ambition is to reach over 10,000 young people in three continents, focusing on Manchester, São Paulo, Buenos Aires and Mumbai.”
The project attempts to continue building City’s reputation as a club that strives to make a difference both at home and overseas.
The adult version of the kit is available online for £70 with the kids version being up for grabs for a cool £55.
