Man City unveil their new 2020/21 home kit, which was officially released on the 16th of July, however it’s have plenty of mixture reaction.
It was two months ago that this jersey was leaked, which went on to be mocked heavily by fans on social media for it’s unique pattern.
It features a blue and white mosaic design, moving away from the purple accent used in this season’s strip. It is added with a navy trim. The kit is completed with white shorts and light blue socks.

City say: “…it pays homage to a city brimming with football and creativity.
“Art, industry, football, music, fashion, noise, and colour are all woven into Manchester’s DNA and the mosaics displayed are a celebration of our city’s proud and diverse culture.
“It’s both a fitting and timely combination.
“Mosaics have also been an important part of Manchester City’s proud history, stretching back almost 100 years to when the original City mosaic first adorned the gates of our former Maine Road home.
“Today, the mosaic tradition continues with many club legends having been immortalized as mosaic artworks at the City Football Academy, helping to inspire the next generation of players.”

The artist, Mark Kennedy, who is responsible for mosaics of Manchester’s Northern Quarter as well as the iconic player artworks at the club’s Football Academy, said he was proud that his work gave inspiration for the new home kit.
“When I began my journey as an artist, the Northern Quarter was a derelict area that I looked at and wanted to build up,” said Kennedy.
“I began creating Manchester icons using ceramic plates and tiles, integrating my own artistic style.
“My family and I have always been huge City fans, so I created artwork of the players too.
“Over time I was commissioned to create artwork for the club and the city of Manchester, so I feel very privileged to see PUMA use my art as inspiration for the new City Home jersey.”
The new Home kit is available from PUMA.com, ManCity.com and in stores around the world, including the CityStore at the Etihad Stadium which is open today [Thursday] from 10am to 6pm.
City will wear the new Home kit for the first time in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against fellow Premier League club Arsenal at Wembley.

Whilst the ‘leaked’ third strip combines the colors ‘Whisper White’ & ‘Peacoat’ with an eye-catching all-over Paisley print. Whisper-White is a very light beige color tone that will most likely appear white from afar, while Peacoat is a standard navy color tone.

Home kit released by @ManCity.
I actually really like the reference for this but feel the use of white in the graphic makes it look more like water than mosaic. A darker blue or combination of white/blue could have added more interest, maybe. pic.twitter.com/Mchd5e2UQr

Puma disasterclass

I like it. I think when people get used to it and see it on the pitch it will be popular.

I really don’t like the collar. If they had a white polo collar similar to the new Italy kits it would look much better imo
— Matt Fenwick (@mfen83) July 16, 2020
Better than the current one but that’s not saying much. I think Puma are in a bit of a fallow period (Italian national kit aside)

I just love it. Different from the usual and a few years from now it’ll be seen as a classic ???

Cracks in the kit to resemble how they cracked this year

Am I the only one that likes this?

I’m glad that teams are actually putting patterns back on shirts, plain colours are so boring, not wacky enough if you ask me
— Jonathan Townsend (@jtowns82) July 16, 2020
Aw fucking hell, dread to thing what Puma have in store for Newcastle.
— LWP. (@Fcb1892) July 16, 2020
At first, I thought it looked shit, but now it’s starting to grow on me, will look good on the pitch and from a distance. Will no doubt become a classic and should be expected to go on and sell well with their fans.

Much better than last year’s kit IMO. The purple was a weird addition to a City kit. Nice to return to blue and white.
