Pep Guardiola Helped Design Puma Manchester City Kits + Puma Man City Kit Info & Launch Date Revealed
Mar 1, 2019, by Chris
Manchester City and its sister clubs yesterday announced a ten-year, £650million deal, with Puma. Following on the announcement, the club and the brand both shared a bit of info about the design and release dates of the first-ever Puma Manchester City jerseys.
The Puma Manchester City kits have been already designed, quite logically. There are no full leaks of the kits yet, but we already revealed info about all of the kits.
Pep Guardiola & Coaching Team Interested In Technical Aspects Rather Than Colors
Manchester City manager gave his input as designers worked out the look and feel of the new shirts, shorts and socks. The Blues manager and his coaching team were all consulted when the designers worked on the new shirts, shorts and socks, which are expected to be launched on July 1.
And Guardiola has his own input, as revealed by Man City chief executive Ferran Soriano: “Pep and the coaches are interested in the technical aspects of the shirt and the training gear. They are very interested and their demands are very high.
“It’s in terms of weight and so on to manage the heat and the sweat - not so much the colours but the technical aspects.”
Puma chief executive Bjorn Gulden said that the input of the City management team covered several aspects: “Functional fabrics, compression, fit, materials - the coaches who played know everything because they played themselves and they are very careful over the requirements.
“I think Pep is one of those guys who is a perfectionist in what he does and you need to deliver him quality.”
“For all the football guys, including Pep, when we said it was Puma, he was very happy,” said Soriano. The first reaction was to remember Johan Cruyff and Pele, but specifically Cruyff. Puma means an authenticity related to football. The ones, like me, who are already old we understand that very well.”
Gulden met with Guardiola during his visit to Manchester to announce the deal: “If you’re a soccer fanatic and you talk to Pep then you get impressed and he’s so interesting to talk to in the development.
“The whole club from the technical staff to the marketing staff to the international people have been very interesting and we have learned a lot. I think they are a couple of years ahead of what we have seen before.”
Puma Manchester City 19-20 Kits To Be Launched In Early July
Neither Puma nor City revealed any details of the appearance of the new kits, but Gulden said: “Each shirt has its own history. We’ve worked with the club and every shirt should mean something. How the shirt is going to look is coming from the club.
“They have been designed - the designs for all the teams have been done in co-operation and I think the launch date is early July.

Chattanooga Red Wolves Reveal Vibrant Hispanic Heritage Pre-Match Shirt
USL League One club Chattanooga Red Wolves SC have unveiled a striking special-edition warm-up top in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Worn ahead of the club's annual Hispanic Heritage Night celebrations, the design pays homage to the rich cultural contributions and traditions of the Hispanic and Latino communities within the local area and across the sport.
Set against an off-white base, the standout feature of the shirt is a massive howling wolf graphic across the front. The silhouette of the club's emblem is brought to life through intricate Mesoamerican and folk art motifs, filled with vibrant shades of teal, red, yellow, orange, and violet. Matching cultural diamond patterns run down the red side panels, while the sleeve cuffs are detailed with horizontal sequences representing various Latin American flags.
The reverse side continues the celebratory theme with a sun wheel and mythological fauna gracing the upper back. Centered below is the club's rallying cry, "DALE LOBOS," printed in a bold red textured font and framed by geometric borders.
US Cremonese 26-27 Third Kit Released
Italian club US Cremonese and technical sponsor Acerbis have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 2026-27 campaign. Designed by Cremona native Carlo Enrico Bonvicini, the jersey is built around a deep navy base enhanced by an alternating pattern of glossy and matte tonal pinstripes for subtle depth.
Elegant golden trim outlines the classic polo collar and sleeve cuffs, complemented by monochrome gold sponsor branding and a reimagined two-tone club crest that references 1980s and 1990s iconography alongside the historical Giovanni Baldesio legend.
No More Adidas: Macron Aberdeen 26-27 Third Kit Released
Aberdeen FC and Macron have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Completing the Dons' wardrobe for the campaign alongside the red home and white away strips, the design takes direct inspiration from Aberdeenshire's iconic Craigievar Castle as the world-famous pink fortress marks its 400th anniversary.
The Aberdeen 26-27 third jersey features a light pink base that recalls the castle's distinctive pink-harled walls. It is enriched by an all-over geometric pattern woven directly into the fabric using Macron's Eco 3D Knit jacquard structure. Anthracite grey covers the raglan sleeves, side panels, cuffs, and ribbed V-neck collar, highlighted with refined silver piping, while the club crest and Macron Hero are both presented in monochrome anthracite on the chest.
Bespoke details include a stylized graphic of Craigievar Castle printed inside the back of the neck, as well as the city's historic "Bon Accord" motto running along the inner silicone hem tape. Pink shorts with anthracite inserts and pink socks finish off the full uniform, which is manufactured entirely from 100% recycled polyester.
All-New Inter Milan 26-27 Champions League Kit Font Released
Inter Milan will have a dedicated name and number font for their new 2026-27 third kit in the UEFA Champions League, something rarely seen from the Nerazzurri in recent years as they have typically used the standard Serie A typography in Europe.
For Serie A, Inter use the standard league typography in Speed Yellow. In the Champions League, however, the Nerazzurri switch to a bespoke 1990s-inspired font with taller, sharper-edged lettering and numbers featuring a thin blue outline, matching the kit's grey.
Interestingly, Inter's 2026-27 home shirt uses the standard Serie A font and was worn in their first Champions League match against Real Madrid. The third kit, meanwhile, features a dedicated Champions League typeface.
Fans can choose between the Serie A and Champions League fonts when customizing the Inter Milan 2026-27 third kit on the club's official web store. This dual-font approach gives the European version a distinct retro feel.
Big thanks to What The Kit for the mockup!
