The 2023/24 Manchester City Home Kit: A Tribute to the Treble Season

Celebrate a historic era for the Citizens with the Manchester City 2023/24 Home Jersey. This design pays homage to the club’s incredible success, particularly the Treble-winning 2022/23 season, while looking forward to future triumphs. It’s more than just a shirt; it’s a symbol of a golden age for Manchester City.

Design Inspiration & Visual Details

The 2023/24 home kit draws inspiration from the architecture of the Etihad Stadium and the classic kits of the past. The subtle graphic pattern across the front is a nod to the walkways and structures surrounding City’s modern home ground, connecting the team’s present-day success to its physical heartland.

• **Colorway:** The iconic Sky Blue base remains central, complemented by white trim on the collar and cuffs.
• **Graphic Pattern:** A unique, tonal graphic subtly integrated into the fabric, representing the Etihad Stadium’s architectural blueprint.
• **Crest & Logos:** The official Manchester City crest is proudly displayed, alongside the Puma logo and sponsor branding. On this Fan Version, the crest is typically embroidered, offering a classic, durable feel.

Grealish #10 Printing & Japanese Tour Context

This specific jersey features the official Jack Grealish #10 printing, as worn by the dynamic winger during the 2023 pre-season tour, including matches played in Japan. While the printing itself is the standard 2023/24 Premier League style, its association with the successful Japanese tour adds a unique layer of context and collectibility for fans who followed the team’s global journey.

Engineered for the Fan: Puma dryCELL Technology

Designed with supporter comfort in mind, the 2023/24 Fan Version jersey incorporates Puma’s dryCELL moisture-wicking technology. This ensures you stay comfortable whether you’re cheering from the stands, playing a casual game, or wearing it out and about.

How dryCELL Works & Its Benefits

Puma’s dryCELL fabric is engineered to draw sweat away from your skin and disperse it across the fabric surface, where it can evaporate quickly. This process helps regulate your body temperature and keeps you feeling dry and comfortable.

• **Moisture Management:** Actively wicks sweat away.
• **Enhanced Comfort:** Keeps you feeling dry even during intense moments.
• **Breathability:** The fabric structure allows air circulation.
• **Lightweight Feel:** Contributes to overall wearing comfort.

Sizing & Fit Guide

The Fan Version jersey features a Standard Fit, designed for a comfortable, slightly looser feel compared to the athletic fit of the Player version. We recommend consulting the size chart to find your best fit. If you prefer a more relaxed feel, consider sizing up; for a slightly closer fit, your usual size should be appropriate.
