Manchester City Drops a Nostalgic Bombshell with the 24/25 Away Kit
Alright, gather 'round! Let me tell you, Manchester City just dropped a bombshell! They've unveiled their new away kit for the 24/25 season, and it's a total throwback to one of the most iconic moments in the club's history. We're taking a look at the new Puma Manchester City 24/25 away kit.
Now, you know I'm all about a good story, and this one's a real corker. We're talking about the 1999 Second Division Play-Off final, where City were trailing Gillingham by two goals. Can you imagine the tension? The nerves? But those City lads, they just wouldn't give up. They fought tooth and nail, and in the 95th minute, Paul Dickov, bless his heart, popped up with a dramatic equaliser to take the game into extra time.
And then, the drama continued! City went on to win the game on penalties, securing their place in the First Division. It was a moment of pure magic, a testament to the unwavering spirit of the club and its fans.
And guess what? This new away kit is a direct homage to that legendary day. It's a navy-blue jersey with those iconic neon yellow vertical stripes, just like the one worn by the heroes of '99. The collar and sleeve trims are also a beautiful blend of neon yellow and blue, adding a touch of vintage flair. It's like stepping back in time, isn't it?
Paul Dickov, the man who scored that unforgettable goal, is absolutely thrilled with the tribute. He said, "It’s fantastic to see this year’s away kit revealed today. The 1999 Play-Off final victory still remains a special moment for myself and City fans around the world and I know the kit from that day is remembered by those who were there and beyond. It’s a wonderful gesture by the Club and PUMA to commemorate the anniversary with this year’s away kit."
And Marco Mueller, the Senior Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel at PUMA, echoed those sentiments. He said, "This kit symbolises a defining moment in Manchester City’s history and the relentless spirit of its fans. Our goal was to create a jersey that honours the past while using the latest in performance technology to meet the needs of today’s athletes and supporters. We’re proud to bring back a design that holds such significance and to do so with a sustainable approach."
