What If: Nike Bayern Munich & Manchester City 19-20 Third Kit Concepts
Nike's third kits are certainly the highlight of the 2019-20 season. This is probably no news to you - no less than four of them made our reader-voted Top 10 list, after all.
Inspired by the success of the Nike 19-20 third kits, we've decided to dish out ones for two clubs that didn't enjoy the treatment: Manchester City, who narrowly missed out after signing with Puma, and Bayern Munich, a club we likely won't see in Nike for quite some time. The German champions are under contract with Adidas until 2030.
Bayern Munich
Following Nike's example, we based our Bayern concept on one of the club's most iconic 1990s alternative shirts. The gold, black and green 93-94 away shirt was used for a total of three seasons, until 1996 and features one of the craziest football shirt colorways of all time.
We chose the Atlético / Chelsea template for this. A subtle Bavaria-inspired print covers the front and sleeves. Rounding off the smart look if a black-gold-green club badge on the left chest.
Manchester City
For the Manchester City shirt, we were inspired by an underrated classic: the 1990-92 away shirt by Umbro. We went for the template Nike used for the Barcelona and Roma shirts.
The jersey is dark red with a classic collar and white logos. The collar and cuffs feature white and sky blue, a clean match for the red base.
What do you think about these two Nike 19-20 third kit concepts? Drop us a line below, and also let us know which other teams you'd like to see next.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has launched a limited-run, affordable NYC-inspired jersey to celebrate the 2026 World Cup. Priced at just 50 USD and sold at cost, the initiative provides an accessible alternative to expensive official FIFA merchandise (via GQ).
The jerseys are manufactured locally by Mazzi Sports, a custom sports apparel business operating out of its Brooklyn factory since 1986, and were designed by Brooklyn-based illustrator Arsh Raziuddin.
The local NYC kits feature distinct city motifs, including Big Apple and pigeon graphics, and are available in three colorways: black and white, yellow and black, and blue and orange.

2026 World Cup Teams Use Different Sleeves for New Debutant Patch
For the 2026 World Cup, FIFA has introduced a special 'Debut Patch' to be worn by players making their first appearance in the tournament, but the placement of this new badge varies between national teams. Mexico has positioned the debutant patch on the left sleeve of their kits, whereas South Africa has opted to place it on the right sleeve. This new addition for the competition allows federations flexibility in integrating the debutant patch alongside other official tournament sleeve badges.
