Manchester City's 2026-27 third kit evokes memories of Chelsea's 2003-04 away shirt, with both designs featuring a white base and a blue gradient stripe running vertically down the centre.
Interestingly, the Chelsea shirt was carried over as the club's third kit for the 2004-05 season, making the design familiar across two consecutive campaigns.
The story behind Manchester City's new design is just as interesting. Created through PUMA's AI Creator platform, the shirt won the brand's kit design competition in late 2024, after nearly 180,000 submissions. It was one of 10 finalists before ultimately being selected as Manchester City's official third kit.

During the 2026 FA Community Shield, Gianluigi Donnarumma was once again spotted wearing a replica jersey on the pitch rather than an authentic player-issue shirt. Details such as the embroidered crest and the standard dryCELL branding confirmed his kit choice.
This marks the second consecutive season since joining Manchester City that the Italian goalkeeper has opted for the replica version. The reason stems from Puma's player-issue shirts featuring a tighter, more athletic cut, whereas Donnarumma prefers a looser, roomier fit for maximum comfort and freedom of movement.

Manchester City unveiled additional images of their new 2026-27 away kit during an event in Hong Kong yesterday. The kit is set to be officially launched in just a few hours, later today, July 31.

As part of their pre-season trip to Asia, Manchester City have unveiled a special custom font and nameset during their event in Hong Kong. The unique printing style was showcased at the club's Harbour Pitch pop-up activation, giving local supporters an exclusive custom option for the 26-27 home kit.
The special font features a bold, rounded bubbly silhouette with stylized graphic cutouts integrated directly into the numbers, including skull motifs and exaggerated curves. Displayed on jerseys for players such as Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Rayan Cherki, and Antoine Semenyo, the playful design offers a distinct creative departure from standard Premier League and cup competition typefaces.
This limited tour nameset is available at official event pop-ups in Hong Kong during the 26-27 Asia Tour. While it serves primarily as a special retail customization option for local fans, it adds a unique collectible twist to City's summer pre-season campaign in Asia.
