PUMAThe overarching theme connecting Manchester City's 2026-27 kit collection is 'Not Your Typical City.' PUMA and the club are using this campaign theme to challenge traditional, static kit designs and celebrate a culture of constant evolution, relentless ambition, and doing things differently.
Let GOAL take you through everything you need to know about the Manchester City 2026-27 home kit, including release date, price, leaks and design details.
PUMAManchester City’s 2026-27 home kit breaks away from the traditional solid-tone approach to feature a distinct sky-blue gradient. Fading smoothly from a darker shade at the shoulders down to white at the bottom hem, the design is meant to represent a visual timeline of the various shades of sky blue the club has worn throughout its history.
It is framed nicely by a crisp white collar and sleeve cuffs, and finished with a monochromatic, metallic silver club crest and matching sponsor branding to emphasise a theme of modern progression.
The replica kit is priced at £85, with the authentic version available for £125.
PUMABold black and yellow, finished with a swarm of worker bees, this kit is built around one of the most recognisable symbols in the city – the Manchester bee. The bee has been on the streets of Manchester long before it was on a football shirt - a symbol of the graft, unity, and resilience that define the city. The 2026-27 away kit puts it front and centre, with a design that channels the noise of the away end and the identity of the streets back home.
PUMAFor the first time in professional football, fans were given the power to design a kit using AI, with the winning fan-created design set to be worn on the pitch this season. The 2026-27 Third Kit was created using PUMA AI Creator, a custom generative AI tool that turns written prompts into kit designs within seconds.
Launched in December 2024, the AI Creator put tangible creative influence into the hands of fans through prompts and intuitive editing tools, with no design experience required. Cityzens from over 200 countries brought forward their vision for what the third kit should look like, resulting in over 180,000 unique shirts.
