The 2024/25 Away Kit: Design Story & Inspiration

The Manchester City 2024/25 away kit from Puma draws inspiration from the vibrant energy and rich industrial heritage of Manchester itself. While specific details for the 24/25 away design are officially unveiled closer to the season, Puma’s designs often weave in elements reflecting the city’s architecture, waterways, or historical significance. Expect a design that is both modern and deeply rooted in the city’s identity, allowing fans to carry a piece of Manchester with them wherever they go. The colour palette and graphic elements are carefully chosen to stand out, making a bold statement on and off the pitch.

Visual Elements & Craftsmanship

• Colourway: Typically features a dominant darker shade (e.g., navy, black, or deep green) contrasted with vibrant accent colours that pop, reflecting the dynamic nature of the team and the city.
• Pattern/Texture: Often incorporates subtle graphic patterns or textures inspired by architectural details or industrial motifs, adding depth and visual interest.
• Club Crest: The iconic Manchester City crest is proudly displayed on the chest. On the Fan Version, this is typically an embroidered badge, offering a classic, durable feel and appearance.
• Puma Logo: The Puma Cat logo is also present, usually embroidered or heat-applied depending on the specific design details, complementing the overall aesthetic.
• Sponsor Logos: Features the primary shirt sponsor logo (e.g., Etihad Airways) and sleeve sponsor (if applicable), integrated seamlessly into the design.
• RODRIGO #16 Printing: High-quality, official-style printing of ‘RODRIGO’ and the number ’16’ on the back, allowing you to proudly represent the Spanish midfielder.

Puma dryCELL Technology: Engineered for Comfort

The Fan Version of the Manchester City 2024/25 Away Jersey is equipped with Puma’s dryCELL technology. This is a performance fabric system designed to keep you comfortable by managing moisture.

How dryCELL Works:

• Moisture Wicking: dryCELL fabrics are engineered to draw sweat away from your skin and move it to the surface of the garment.
• Fast Evaporation: Once the moisture reaches the surface, it evaporates quickly, helping to keep you dry.
• Enhanced Comfort: By preventing sweat build-up, dryCELL helps regulate your body temperature and provides a more comfortable wearing experience, whether you’re cheering in the stands or playing a casual game.

While not as advanced as the technologies used in the player-issue versions (like ULTRAWEAVE or dryCELL ADV), dryCELL provides reliable moisture management perfect for everyday wear and supporting your team.

Fan Version vs. Authentic Version: Making the Right Choice

Understanding the difference between the Fan (Replica/Stadium) version and the Authentic (Match/Player) version is crucial for choosing the right jersey for you. Our product is the Fan Version.

Detailed Comparison:

• Fit:
  • Fan Version: Features a Standard Fit. This is a more relaxed, comfortable cut designed for everyday wear. It offers more room in the chest and waist, making it suitable for layering or casual outings.
  • Authentic Version: Has a Tight, Athletic Fit. It’s cut closer to the body, designed to minimize distractions and provide a streamlined feel for performance. Often feels like a ‘second skin’.
• Fabric Technology & Feel:
  • Fan Version: Uses Puma dryCELL fabric. The material is durable, slightly thicker, and feels soft against the skin. Designed for comfort and longevity.
  • Authentic Version: Utilizes Puma’s advanced performance fabrics like ULTRAWEAVE or dryCELL ADV. These are significantly lighter, often have a textured or mesh-like structure for maximum breathability, and feel very thin and premium.
• Weight:
  • Fan Version: Slightly heavier due to the more robust fabric and construction.
  • Authentic Version: Noticeably lighter, optimized for reducing weight during intense physical activity.
• Breathability/Ventilation:
  • Fan Version: Good breathability for casual wear thanks to dryCELL, but lacks the targeted ventilation zones of the Authentic version.
  • Authentic Version: Superior breathability with advanced fabric structures and often laser-cut perforations in high-heat areas.
• Badges & Logos:
  • Fan Version: Features embroidered club crest and Puma logo. These are stitched onto the fabric, providing a traditional, tactile feel.
  • Authentic Version: Uses heat-applied, lightweight badges and logos. These are often made of rubber or silicone, designed to be flexible and not add weight or cause irritation during play.
• Price:
  • Fan Version: More affordable and accessible price point.
  • Authentic Version: Higher price point reflecting the advanced materials and performance features.
• Recommended Use:
  • Fan Version: Ideal for everyday wear, watching matches (at home, pub, or stadium), casual kickabouts, and collecting. Prioritizes comfort and durability.
  • Authentic Version: Best suited for competitive play, training, or for collectors who want the exact shirt worn by the pros. Prioritizes performance and lightweight feel.

The Fan Version offers the authentic look and feel of the Manchester City 2024/25 Away kit with RODRIGO #16 in a comfortable, durable package perfect for showing your support in any setting.

Wear It Your Way: Scenarios for Your City Jersey

This jersey is versatile enough for numerous occasions:

• Match Day Essential: Be part of the blue army, whether you’re at the Etihad, your local pub, or watching with friends at home.
• Casual Streetwear: Pair it with jeans or shorts for a sporty, casual look that shows your club pride.
• Light Activity: Comfortable enough for a casual game in the park or hitting the gym.
• Collector’s Item: A must-have addition for any serious Manchester City memorabilia collection, especially featuring a key player like Rodri.

Sustainability Efforts

Puma is committed to reducing its environmental impact. This jersey is made from 100% Recycled Polyester, representing a step towards more sustainable production practices in sportswear. By choosing this jersey, you’re supporting both your club and efforts towards a greener future.

Sizing & Fit Advice

The Fan Version features a Standard Fit. This means it’s designed to be comfortable and not overly tight. We recommend consulting the official size chart to find your best fit. If you prefer a looser feel, consider sizing up. If you prefer a more fitted look closer to the player version (though still looser than the authentic), you might consider your usual size or sizing down if you are between sizes. Pay close attention to chest and waist measurements on the size chart.

Caring for Your Jersey

To ensure your Manchester City jersey stays in top condition, follow these care instructions:

• Wash inside out.
• Use cold water (maximum 30°C or 86°F).
• Use mild detergent.
• Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
• Do not tumble dry; hang to air dry.
• Do not iron directly on printing or badges. Iron inside out on a low setting if necessary.
• Do not dry clean.

Proper care will help maintain the fabric’s integrity, the vibrancy of the colours, and the condition of the printing and badges.
