The Manchester City 2025-26 Third Kit (Player Version), produced by Puma, introduces a bold, experimental design inspired by the city's rainy climate and industrial heritage.
Design Concept
The kit is known as the "Rain City" edition. It moves away from traditional colors to celebrate Manchester’s famous weather, featuring a unique "liquid" aesthetic that mimics the look of raindrops on a window or pavement.
Visual Description
Primary Color: The jersey features a sophisticated "Steel Grey" base that reflects the overcast skies of Manchester.
Graphic Pattern: The entire front and back panels are covered in a 3D-effect raindrop graphic. These water-droplet patterns are sublimated into the fabric with varying levels of opacity to create a realistic, shimmering texture.
Neon Accents: To contrast the grey base, the kit uses a high-visibility "Electric Lime" for all key details, including:
A monochromatic, iridescent club crest that shifts between lime and teal.
The Puma "Cat" logo and Etihad Airways sponsor.
Solid lime green side panels and underarm mesh inserts.
Collar: It features a modern, low-profile neon lime crew neck that matches the sleeve cuffs.
