Yesterday, beneath the raised lights of a sparkling Champions League clash against RB Leipzig, Manchester City stepped up their style game. The team emerged from the tunnel elegantly turned out in throwback shirts - the embodiment of the City's glory days of the 70s and earlier, making a powerful, nostalgic sartorial statement.
These weren't just any old retro kits, darlings. They were a beautiful symbol of gratitude, paying homage on the day when three of the club's quintessential icons, Colin Bell, Francis Lee, and Mike Summerbee, were immortalized in shimmering statue form outside the Etihad Stadium. Can you feel the history?
Let's get one thing straight, the retro get-ups were pre-match only. By kick-off, the lads were back in their usual contemporary 24-25 home kits — same slick style, different epoch.
So, compelled to inquire, did the sight of these retro-revival shirts send a shiver of Man City joy down your spine? Subscribe to our Newsletter, darling, stay in the know!
