Man City will be hoping to win the Premier League for the fifth time in a row in 2024/25, a feat no other team has ever accomplished. They have already established themselves as one of the best teams in competition history, but they are always eager to improve.

As the previous campaign drew to an end, the Cityzens debuted their new uniform during the title match. It features ‘Manchester in its fabric’. The sky-blue jersey has threads of 0161 in the trim, a nod to the club’s origins. It was a dialling code in the area, but if you visit the city now, you will see it written on lampposts on every corner, exemplifying what it means to be from the area. Aside from that, the club has chosen a rather simple kit, prioritising simplicity over confusion. They will attempt to duplicate this in their campaign.

Serena Gosling, director of integrated fan experience and retail & licensing at the club, expressed pride in the idea at the time of the announcement, stating: “By incorporating ‘0161’ in this year’s Home kit – something that resonates so strongly with the City of Manchester – we’re able to connect fans around the world with the club and our city in a different way.”
