First images of 2025/26 Manchester City home shirt leaked | OneFootball

The first images of Manchester City’s 2025/26 home shirt have now surfaced online via a reputable source for kit information.

The next edition to be released by Puma and Manchester City will follow an initially controversial release from the German manufacturers, as they utilised the Greater Manchester area code ‘0161’ into the current home shirt.

It was the latest in a string of bold designs to be utilised by Puma, who are certainly not afraid to disturb the norms of football shirts having released a collaborative effort with Oasis icon Noel Gallagher and a third kit that did not feature a club badge for the first time ever.

The next edition of the traditional Manchester City home shirt will once again utilise a shade of sky blue with manufacturer and sponsorship logos in black combined with white accents across the shirt.

However, the latest bold change to be put into practice by kit designers sees the return of a sash design, described as ‘tonal’ given its blended implementation into the sky blue home strip for the upcoming season.

While the sash is a familiar feature of Manchester City shirts worn away from home since the 1970s, the 2025/26 season will represent the first campaign that a home shirt of the Sky Blues will feature such a design element.

Now, as per images exclusively revealed by Footy Headlines this week, Manchester City’s 2025/26 home shirt can now be seen for the first time following initial details offering hints towards its design.

Footy Headlines further report that Manchester City’s brand new 2025/26 home kit is expected to launch in early summer 2025, although it remains to be seen whether it will come into play for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup in the United States this summer.

Given the excitement surrounding the latest kit launch from Manchester City, the same outlet have already had to deny one leaked version of the supposed home kit being the accurate edition finalised by manufacturers.

At present, there have been no further details surrounding Manchester City’s away and third shirts, nor whether the club have any plans to release a fourth kit for the next campaign after the release of their Oasis-inspired strip worn twice in UEFA Champions League action.
