Long-Sleeve Kits is Back at Manchester City After 12 Years

Last weekend’s victory over Liverpool marked the long-awaited return of Manchester City’s long-sleeve kit on the pitch. Erling Haaland, Rúben Dias, Jérémy Doku and Iliman Ndiaye were all seen wearing long-sleeves during the match.

According to our partner @whatthekit_x, the last time a City player wore a long-sleeve jersey on the field was back in the 2013-14 season, with Joleon Lescott believed to be the final player to do so before his leave in 2014.

For over a decade, alongside the rapid evolution of sportswear technology, Manchester City players had completely transitioned to wearing short-sleeve shirts paired with base layers.
