Man City unveils iconic sashy and sexy home kit

Global sports company PUMA and Man City have today unveiled the 2025/26 Home kit.

For the first time in the Club’s history, the Home kit features the famous ‘sash’ – the diagonal stripe design made iconic on previous City away days.

Puma launched the kit today priced at R1399 for the standard adult replica version. Fans can buy it at from 13 May at PUMA.com, all PUMA Retail stores, Totalsports, Sportsmans Warehouse, Studio 88, Takealot, and JD Sports.

Alongside the new shirt City also launched a pre-match kit with a white and sky blue pattern, retro-style tracksuit tops and dark blue hoodies as part of the new home kit range.

MAN CITY AND PUMA GO BACK IN TIME TO BRING SASHY BACK

The fresh new iteration of the Home jersey pairs the unmistakable sky-blue City base with a white sash, that has been reimagined for the next generation.

First introduced on kits in the 70s and worn by club greats such as Mike Summerbee, Colin Bell, Francis Lee and Tony Book, the sash has a long history on Man City kits.

Historically seen on Away kits, this iconic Man City style makes its Home debut for the 25/26 season, creating a connection to the past with a futuristic design, bridging the gap between different generations of Man City fans.

Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, added: “We’re so excited to be featuring the iconic sash, made famous from away days of old, on the Man City Home kit for the first time. Both in this kit and all our kits for this upcoming season, fans across the world will be reminded that with our partnership we do things differently and want to push the boundaries in terms of design, creativity and innovation”.

The Man City jersey is available in both Authentic and Replica versions. The Authentic Jersey, worn by
the players, is crafted with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, which reduces weight and friction for elite-level performance.

The Replica Jersey offers the same striking look with a more relaxed fit, perfect for both match days and everyday wear. Both versions incorporate PUMA’s dryCELL sweat-wicking technology to keep fans and players dry and comfortable.

Reflecting PUMA’s commitment to sustainability, the Replica jerseys are made using the RE:FIBRE initiative, utilizing recycled textile waste to create new materials without compromising quality.

Containing at least 95% recycled textile waste and other used polyester materials, this initiative represents a significant step towards a more circular and sustainable production process for football jerseys.

The Man City men’s first team will wear the new Home kit at this summer’s Club World Cup, taking place
in the USA.
