The 2023/24 Manchester City Home Jersey: Celebrating a Historic Treble Season

Step into the legacy of a truly historic season with the official Manchester City 2023/24 Home Fan Jersey. This kit commemorates the club’s incredible achievement of winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League in the 2022/23 season, carrying that momentum into the 2023/24 campaign. Designed by Puma, this jersey is a symbol of City’s dominance and features the iconic sky blue that has become synonymous with success.

Design Story & Inspiration: Threads of History

The 2023/24 home jersey pays homage to the Etihad Stadium and the club’s rich history. The intricate graphic pattern woven into the fabric is inspired by the unique architecture of the stadium, specifically the walkways and structures surrounding it. This subtle yet meaningful detail connects the players and fans to their home ground, the fortress where so many victories have been celebrated.

• Iconic Sky Blue: The classic base colour that represents Manchester City’s identity.
• Etihad Stadium Inspired Graphic: A subtle, all-over pattern reflecting the club’s home.
• White Trim: Clean white detailing on the collar and cuffs provides a sharp contrast.
• Ribbed Collar and Cuffs: Adds a touch of classic jersey aesthetics and improved comfort.

Visual Elements & Craftsmanship: Details That Matter

Every element on this jersey is crafted to represent the club with pride and quality, even in the fan version.

• Embroidered Club Crest: The Manchester City badge is proudly embroidered on the left chest, offering a traditional, durable feel. This differs from the heat-pressed crest on the authentic version.
• Puma Logo: The Puma Cat logo is embroidered on the right chest.
• Sponsor Logos: The Etihad Airways main sponsor logo is heat-pressed across the chest, and the OKX sleeve sponsor logo is on the left sleeve.
• Fabric Texture: The jersey features a smooth, comfortable feel suitable for everyday wear.

The Haaland Factor: Wearing the #9

This specific jersey features the printing of star striker Erling Haaland and his iconic number #9. Haaland’s explosive arrival and goal-scoring prowess have made him a fan favourite and a symbol of City’s attacking power. Wearing his name and number is a direct way to show your admiration for one of the world’s best forwards and his impact on the team’s success.

Unique Japanese Tour Detail: A Special Edition Element

This version of the jersey includes a unique detail related to Manchester City’s Japanese Tour. While specific details can vary, this often involves a special patch, graphic, or inscription commemorating the club’s visit to Japan during the pre-season or a specific event. This adds a unique collector’s element and signifies a specific moment in the club’s global presence. Look for a potential patch on the sleeve or a subtle graphic detail that sets this version apart.

• Benefits for the Fan:
• Moisture Management: Helps you stay dry and less clammy.
• Enhanced Comfort: Reduces the feeling of wetness against the skin.
• Improved Breathability: Allows air to circulate, aiding in cooling.

Care Instructions: Keep Your Kit Pristine

To ensure your Manchester City jersey stays looking its best season after season, follow these simple care guidelines:

• Washing: Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colours. Use a gentle cycle.
• Detergent: Use mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric and printing.
• Drying: Air dry is highly recommended. If using a dryer, tumble dry low, but be aware that heat can damage printing over time.
• Ironing: Do not iron directly on printing, patches, or logos. If necessary, iron on a low setting inside out.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.

Find Your Perfect Fit: Sizing Guide

The Manchester City 2023/24 Fan Jersey features a Standard Fit, designed for comfort and a relaxed feel.

• Standard Fit: This fit is generally true to size but offers more room than the slim-fitting authentic jerseys. It’s comfortable for wearing over a base layer or on its own.
• Recommendation: We recommend consulting the specific size chart provided for this product. Consider your personal preference – if you prefer a looser fit, you might consider sizing up; if you prefer it slightly more fitted (though still relaxed compared to authentic), stick to your usual size.
