Manchester City to Wear 4th Kit vs Inter Milan in Champions League
The club confirmed they will debut the 'Definitely City' shirt in their upcoming Champions League match against Inter Milan at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, 18 September. Typically, the home team wears its primary kit, but this new decision marks a significant departure from that norm.
This special fourth kit will also be featured in select Champions League away fixtures for the rest of the 2024-25 season. Many fans feel it disrespects the tradition of wearing the iconic home kit on home turf.
