City and global sports company PUMA have launched the brand-new away kit for the 2024/25 season.
Marking the 25th anniversary of one of the most iconic moments in the Club’s history, the kit pays homage to the kit worn during an unforgettable comeback on 30 May 1999, when City triumphed over Gillingham in the Second Division Play-Off final in dramatic fashion.
City’s history is rich with moments of tenacity and resilience, and the 1999 Play-Off final is a testament to that spirit.
Trailing by two goals, City’s determination eventually saw them through to victory on penalties, after Paul Dickov’s dramatic equaliser in the 95th minute took the game into extra time.
To celebrate this iconic match that has been etched into the hearts of the City fans, PUMA has brought back a certified classic: a navy-blue jersey featuring neon yellow vertical stripes, with neon yellow and blue detailing on the classic collar and sleeve trims.
Paul Dickov, Manchester City Club Ambassador, said: “It’s fantastic to see this year’s away kit revealed today.
“The 1999 Play-Off final victory still remains a special moment for myself and City fans around the world and I know the kit from that day is remembered by those who were there and beyond. “It’s a wonderful gesture by the Club and PUMA to commemorate the anniversary with this year’s away kit.”
Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, added: “This kit symbolizes a defining moment in Manchester City’s history and the relentless spirit of its fans.
“Our goal was to create a jersey that honours the past while using the latest in performance technology to meet the needs of today’s athletes and supporters.
“We’re proud to bring back a design that holds such significance and to do so with a sustainable approach.”
