Manchester City to Wear Maroon Shorts vs Sevilla
Sep 6, 2022, by Chris
Update: Manchester City will wear the maroon home kit shorts for the first time in the UEFA Champions League tonight, confirming our earlier reporting.
The same kit combination was worn by the Man City Academy U-19 squad in their match against Sevilla - UEFA usually approve the same match kits for the Youth League and Champions League.
Manchester City are set to don an interesting kit combination in select matches of the 2022-2023 season.
Manchester City 22-23 Home Shorts - Available in White & Maroon
Manchester City's 22-23 home kit shorts are available in two color variants - white/maroon and maroon/white. Maroon is the alternative colorway, to be worn in select matches of the 22-23 season.
It is not known in which matches Manchester City FC will wear the maroon shorts but some suggest it could be away against Chelsea.
Indeed, it would be not the first time for Manchester City to wear maroon shorts. They played with maroon shorts and socks (those from the away uniform) away against Aston Villa in 1990.

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Debuted
Inter Milan officially debuted their new Nike 26-27 third kit on the pitch during a dramatic 5-3 Serie A comeback victory against Udinese at the San Siro, just hours after its official unveiling.
Taking inspiration from the Nerazzurri's iconic look from the late 1990s, notably referencing the 1997-98 and 1998-99 shirts. the new third kit is built on a stone-grey 'Iron Ore' base featuring a subtle tonal jacquard pattern. The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe. Bright 'Speed Yellow' details are applied to the Swoosh, the two-starred club crest, the Betsson.sport sponsor, and retro-styled 1990s font names and numbers.
