The Manchester City 25/26 Away Shirt draws directly from the earliest-known kit in the club’s history - worn in 1884, back when the team was known as Gorton AFC. That original black strip, simple and uncompromising, has been reimagined here with a modern finish. The result is a clean, all-black design that pays tribute to City’s roots without leaning on nostalgia. Subtle metallic detailing adds a refined edge, bringing a sense of clarity and sharpness to a shirt built for the present day. It’s a confident nod to where the club began - in the streets of east Manchester - and a reminder that even the most forward-thinking sides are shaped by what came before. This isn’t about looking back. It’s about knowing where you started, and wearing it well.
