A Legendary Collaboration: Music Meets Football Excellence

The Manchester City 2024/25 Fourth Jersey represents a groundbreaking collaboration between football royalty and rock legend. Co-designed by lifelong City fan Noel Gallagher, this isn’t just a jersey—it’s a cultural statement that celebrates the 30th anniversary of Oasis’s iconic ‘Definitely Maybe’ album while showcasing your support for Kevin De Bruyne and the champions of English football.

This special edition jersey features De Bruyne’s #17—the number worn by one of the Premier League’s most visionary midfielders—printed in a unique font personally designed by Gallagher himself. The font carries a distinctive Comic Sans-inspired feel that adds to the jersey’s collector appeal and authentic connection to Manchester’s rich musical heritage.

Design Story: ‘Definitely City’ Meets Footballing Excellence

The striking Rosebay (pale yellow) base color with Bold Blue and teal applications directly evokes the iconic album cover that defined a generation. A subtle radial gradient emanates from the club crest, creating a visual effect that draws the eye and stands out in the crowd at the Etihad Stadium or wherever you choose to display your City pride.

The back collar features the special ‘Definitely City’ text, a clever play on the album title that perfectly encapsulates the marriage between Manchester’s musical and footballing heritage. This detail, exclusive to the fourth kit, makes this jersey an instant collector’s item for both football fans and music enthusiasts alike.

Technical Breakdown: Performance Meets Style

As a Replica (Fan Version) jersey, this garment strikes the perfect balance between authentic style and everyday comfort. While maintaining the visual identity of what De Bruyne and his teammates wear on the pitch, it offers a more relaxed fit ideal for supporters.

PUMA dryCELL Technology

Engineered with PUMA’s advanced dryCELL technology, this jersey actively wicks moisture away from your skin, keeping you cool and comfortable whether you’re celebrating a De Bruyne masterclass at the stadium, playing five-a-side with friends, or navigating a busy matchday at the pub.

• Strategic mesh panels in high-heat areas enhance ventilation
• Moisture-absorbing fabric draws sweat away from the skin
• Quick-drying properties maintain comfort throughout wear
• Lightweight construction allows unrestricted movement

Sustainable Innovation

This jersey features PUMA’s innovative RE:FIBRE fabric, representing the brand’s commitment to sustainability. By utilizing recycled textiles, this technology reduces plastic waste and minimizes environmental impact without compromising on performance or durability—allowing you to support both your team and the planet.

Version Deep Dive: Replica vs. Authentic

As a Replica (Fan Version) jersey, this garment offers several distinct advantages over the Authentic (Match) version worn by De Bruyne on the pitch:

• Fit Difference: More relaxed and forgiving cut compared to the extremely fitted Authentic version, providing greater comfort for everyday wear
• Fabric Technology: Utilizes dryCELL for effective moisture management, while the Authentic version features more advanced technical fabrics designed for elite athletic performance
• Weight Perception: Slightly heavier and more substantial feel than the ultra-lightweight Authentic jersey
• Breathability: Excellent ventilation for casual wear, though not as extensively engineered as the Authentic version’s advanced cooling system
• Crest/Logo Application: Heat-pressed emblems that maintain visual authenticity while offering greater comfort against the skin compared to the Authentic’s potentially more detailed executions
• Price Point: Significantly more affordable than the Authentic version (typically 30-40% less expensive)
• Recommended Usage: Ideal for stadium support, casual wear, collector display, and everyday fan expression

The Replica version is perfect for supporters who want the official look without the premium price point of the Authentic jersey. It delivers the visual impact and emotional connection to the club while providing comfort and durability for regular wear.
