Introducing the 25/26 @pumafootball x City Third Kit, a tribute to Manchester weather. Out now.
Manchester City fans have blasted their new third kit
Puma said the kit was a tribute to the culture and people of Manchester, including the weather
But fans are not happy with the design on social media
Man City are no different, and on Thursday morning, revealed their third kit for the 2025/26 season.
In an unusual twist, the kit is a grey-looking colour complete with a trim of green down the sides and neck – officially “Cool Weather/Pro Green” – and features a raindrop design all over.
Puma have said the colouration pays homage to the people, the culture, and the spirit of Manchester – including the famous Mancunian weather .
Selling for up to £130 for an authentic jersey, or £85 for a standard and £90 for a long sleeve version, club commercial chiefs and kit manufacturer Puma naturally hope the kit will be a nice money-spinner.
However, they might have bitten off more than they can chew after fans gave their brutally honest verdict on the kit.
Reacting on social media, one fan said: “This might just end up being the most terrible kit in the history of the Prem.”
A second said: “Can you unrelease it please.”
A third added: “Now need to wash my eyes out with soap, cool.”
Another said: “What has my club become.”
A fifth simply said: “Hideous,” while a sixth added: “This is horrendous.”
These kits are the first set following Puma and City signing a record-breaking £1billion deal.
The contract – announced last month – is the biggest in history, beating Real Madrid’s £950million deal with Adidas.
Man City will kick-start their season against Wolves in Saturday’s late kick-off.
Pep Guardiola ‘s side will be aiming to reclaim their Premier League crown after finishing third last season.
They have recruited heavily in the summer, with six players – including Tijjani Reinjders, Rayan Cherki , Rayan Ait-Nouri and James Trafford – coming through the door so far.
Reports have suggested Gianluigi Donnarumma is set for a stunning move to the Etihad after being cast out by Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique , although City have downplayed the move.
