The ‘Definitely City’ Design Story: Weaving Culture and Glory

The 2023/24 ‘Definitely City’ special edition jersey is a unique tribute, born from the intersection of Manchester City’s unprecedented treble success and the city’s legendary music scene. Puma drew inspiration from the vibrant cultural tapestry that defines Manchester, creating a design that resonates deeply with the club’s roots and its global fanbase.

Visual Elements & Details:

• Unique Pattern: The jersey features a distinctive, all-over graphic pattern. This design is inspired by sound waves and visualisers, paying homage to Manchester’s rich musical heritage, from its iconic bands to its thriving contemporary scene.
• Colour Palette: While rooted in City’s traditional blue, the kit often incorporates subtle or bold accents that reflect the energy and creativity of the city. (Specific colours may vary slightly based on official release details, but the core is City blue).
• Club Crest: The Manchester City crest is proudly displayed on the chest. On the Fan Version, this is typically an embroidered badge, offering a classic feel and enhanced durability compared to the heat-applied versions on player kits.
• Puma Logo: The Puma Cat logo is also present, usually embroidered or high-quality heat-pressed, signifying the official partnership.
• Sponsor Logos: Features the relevant sponsor logos for the 2023/24 season, accurately reproduced to match the on-pitch look (e.g., Etihad Airways, OKX).
• Foden #47: The back features Phil Foden’s name and his iconic number 47, applied with official-style printing, allowing you to wear the name of one of City’s most exciting talents.

Engineered for the Stands: Puma dryCELL Technology

While designed for fans, this replica jersey doesn’t compromise on comfort. It incorporates Puma’s dryCELL technology, a core feature in their performance apparel.

How dryCELL Works:

• Moisture Wicking: dryCELL fabrics are engineered to draw sweat away from your skin.
• Rapid Evaporation: The moisture is then dispersed across the fabric surface, allowing it to evaporate quickly.
• Keeps You Dry: This process helps keep you feeling dry and comfortable, whether you’re cheering in a packed stadium, watching at home, or playing a casual game.

This technology ensures that you stay comfortable even when the tension is high, allowing you to focus on the game.

Replica vs. Authentic: Understanding the Fan Version

This jersey is a Replica (Fan Version), specifically designed for comfort and everyday wear by supporters. It captures the look and feel of the kit worn by the players on the pitch but with features tailored for the stands and street.

Key Differences from the Player (Authentic/Match) Version:

• Fit: The Fan Version features a Standard Fit. This is a more relaxed, comfortable cut compared to the Player Version’s slim, athletic, and often compressive fit. It offers greater freedom of movement for casual wear.
• Fabric: While both use polyester, the Fan Version typically uses a slightly thicker, less textured fabric. The Player Version utilizes Puma’s most advanced, lightweight performance materials (like ULTRAWEAVE), designed for minimal weight and maximum breathability under intense physical activity.
• Technology: The Fan Version uses dryCELL, which is excellent for moisture management in moderate conditions. The Player Version often incorporates more advanced cooling and drying technologies designed for peak athletic performance.
• Badges: As mentioned, the Fan Version usually has embroidered badges, which are durable and have a traditional feel. Player versions use lightweight, heat-applied badges to reduce weight and potential friction.
• Construction: Player versions may have bonded seams, laser-cut ventilation holes, or other features aimed purely at performance optimization. Fan versions have standard stitching and construction.
• Price: The Fan Version is significantly more affordable, offering excellent value for supporters who want to wear their team’s colours.

Which Version Should You Choose? If you prioritize comfort for watching games, casual wear, or collecting, and want the look of the official kit at a more accessible price point, the Fan Version is ideal. If you are a competitive player seeking the exact performance garment worn on the pitch, the Player Version would be more suitable (though significantly more expensive).

Wear It Your Way: More Than Just a Jersey

This Phil Foden ‘Definitely City’ jersey is versatile. Wear it:

• On Match Day: Join fellow Cityzens at the stadium or your local pub, proudly displaying your support for Foden and the team.
• Casually: Pair it with jeans or shorts for a relaxed, sporty look that shows your club allegiance wherever you go.
• For a Kickabout: The dryCELL technology makes it suitable for light training or a casual game with friends.
• As a Collector’s Item: The ‘Definitely City’ theme makes this a unique piece commemorating a special era for the club.

Sizing and Fit Guidance

The Fan Version features a Standard Fit, designed to be comfortable and not overly restrictive. It generally runs true to size for a relaxed feel. However, we highly recommend consulting the official size chart provided to ensure you select the perfect fit for your body type and preferred wearing style. Consider how you plan to wear it – over a base layer or on its own.

Caring for Your Jersey

To keep your Phil Foden ‘Definitely City’ jersey looking its best and prolong its lifespan, follow these care instructions:

• Wash inside out.
• Use cold water.
• Use a mild detergent.
• Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
• Tumble dry low or, preferably, hang to dry.

By following these steps, you ensure the colours stay vibrant, the fabric maintains its integrity, and the printing remains intact.
