The eye-catching offering, which Premier League and WSL giants will be wearing on their travels, features an “all-over embossed M graphic, in celebration of the city the club calls home”. The kit also incorporates a textural element – which is applied as a series of repeated circular patterns – which is considered to be “an homage to the 3D monograms frequently seen on Manchester United kits from 30 years ago”.

Another tribute to Manchester’s geography sees three lighter shades of blue run through the polo club collar, with the three rivers that flow through the city – the Irk, Medlock and Irwell – holding special significance to the Red Devils as “the crossing point where the Theatre of Dreams meets the city”.

Through features such as the collar and a nostalgic design that speaks to beloved design codes, we champion elements of the city and club’s history, finished with premium modern details to stand out on the streets, in the stands and on the pitch.”
