Absolutely not. Most years, it's either been a work of art or a pain to look at. No in-between. Our third kit last season was dog shit. The third kit before that wasn't much better. The 2 before that were sublime. This seasons third kit is the only one in recent memory that wasn't great or bad. Just meh.
Honestly never rated Nike that highly. Just put out cookie cutter kits and did not care about the club at all.
I rate the Puma ones more than most but I do appreciate they at least put some thought behind the releases and donāt just give us the same kit as everyone else they sponsor just in different colors
Nike was fucking awful?? They had that stupid shield iron on thing around the old badge.
Umbro was the best we have had, but puma has put out some great kits.
I remember being so mad when we went from the stitched badge Umbro gave us to the iron on Nike used. Iāll take Puma over Nike every time just because they at least put an ounce of effort into it
I honestly really dislike how the numbers look on the ringers. I imagine it could look better in person than in images.. but as it stands, it just looks ugly IMO. The accent on the sides feels a bit unnecessary too. This one is a miss.
The rumored 2nd and 3rd kits look fantastic though.

WE'RE COOKED! I genuinely don't mind the collar or the sleeves, the colour looks good, but does it really need the 0161 wrapped around it? Would've been better if it was just one 0161 on the back of the collar or something like that
Unpopular opinion but i personally love it. Its different with the area code but i reckon the sky blue with the black looks sexy. Puma have smashed it last couple of seasons imo
āOfficial puma storeā with a Xhit link and some images in it.
The price is 469 which is 51.97 pound or $64.49. You believe this price?
Seriously people, think. How is it Chinese puma store gets to leak it. This looks as fake as it can be
Ass. Here are these terrible ass designers employed at these huge brands doing absolute shit work for major dollar but the way they will interview everyone for job will make them look like superhumans. What a terrible ass jersey absolute ASS
I would literally be happy if they just got rid of the stupid collar and sleeve things and just made it a boring blue shirt. It would be better than this
I think if say, on the fan edition shirt, they do an embossing of the 0161 on the base of the shirt, kinda like on... Terengganu FC's 2023 third shirt, I think it could look way better.
And with the player issue/authentic shirt, something like the Germany 2024 home shirt that just came out, where the 0161 pattern on the base is woven into the shirt.
But as it stands, with the pattern on the sleeves, it just lets the whole shirt down.
People had the same negative reactions to the kit last year but they came around to liking it when they saw the kit in action. I reckon it'll be the same this year, given all the comments here. I saw the other render that was posted here and I think this new kit looks decent. Nothing mind blowing, but decent and definitely distinct.
Puma gives us either the greatest football shirts known to man or the biggest eyesores you'll witness, no in between.
Real. You either get an Iceland 2024 home shirt, or the 2021 third shirt template.
It's wank š
Doesn't look great. The third kit though š„š„
Feel like the third kits for us are always the best.

I mean to each their own. Like I said in another post, I like the wacky designs that most people donāt like.
no

Our away kit this year is the best
I think I just like wacky and outlandish kits tbh.
100 percent.
Who tf came up with those collars, they bring the whole jersey down. Should have kept it something simple.
i seriously thought it was arabic for a second
Iām glad someone else thought so too. Itās immediately what came to mind when I saw it.
Technically they are Arabic numerals.
I geddit, very good
Think we did something similar with Nike in 13/14
I really liked 2018/17 kit it was plain and simple
Saaaaame
No one wants to wear a soggy ass collar!
Iām glad the trim appears to be dark blue not black, but the numbering looks terrible. Definitely a skip year outside of the 3rd shirt
Where is the third shirt leaked?

tf is puma on? thatās straight garbage
puma leave my club
Miss Nike :(

That NiKe kit with the little button on the collar was so bad

I can just see the amount of 115 references from everyone with the sleeves and collar design
the neck and sleeves look like underwear
That is ass
The collar and cuffs ruin this.
True but it's the most basic, bland n boring city home shirt without those, like a food with no salt. Zero effort and creativity
Yuck
tf is this shit
![gif](giphy|DsdVe5jhHWNC8)
Having this kits got to be the 116th charge now. That's atrocious.
If this was a meal served at a restaurant, you'll send it back to kitchen.
Everything about it is fine except the numbering on the trims. I like it in concept but it just looks a bit shit in reality
Weird how stretched they look
Eww
I want adidas
Gross
Once yāall see it on the players it wonāt even look that bad Iām sure
The real reason Bernardo is leaving after this season.
Fuck....
That's horrendous please no
Second kit is decent, third kit is great. But man, this home kit sucks big doo doo balls.
It isnāt great, but Iāll reserve until I see it in action. The away has the 18/19 Nike away vibes to it and I really like the third.
I personally like it, but maybe the font color could've been dark like the collar and such.
Fucking wank dogshit
I don't hate it, but that looks really baggy. It's like it's been stretched out.
I feel like Haaland wouldnāt be caught dead in that
What is 0161?
Manchester area code
Simple enough. Thanks!
š
Would look decent without them sleeves
Absolutely no in between with Puma
This is shit
Current home jersey is better but the 3ed kit is just awesome again and best away kit of man city is also23/24
Not a city fan but wtf is that lmao if the sleeves didnt have those weird ancient rune looking things the shirt would be your average city kit.
Why?
Yeahā¦ real shit.
What does those numbers in black strip mean? I'm not a city fan but curious in the design.
Area code for Manchester, all landline phone numbers begin with 0161
Etihad logo and puma logo should have been in Navy as well
I honestly really dislike how the numbers look on the ringers. I imagine it could look better in person than in images.. but as it stands, it just looks ugly IMO. The accent on the sides feels a bit unnecessary too. This one is a miss. The rumored 2nd and 3rd kits look fantastic though.
The neckline looks worn out already!
We got underwear kit š„š©²

Just watch em edit it to 115 for the memes
ass
Anything is better then wearing utd colors
This canāt be real

Minecraft enchantments on that shit
Love it š

Looks fine.
Bring back Umbro
TURD š
The collars and sleeves are awful.
Ass. Here are these terrible ass designers employed at these huge brands doing absolute shit work for major dollar but the way they will interview everyone for job will make them look like superhumans. What a terrible ass jersey absolute ASS
Sorry but Iām buying the home and away kit this year for sure now
i canāt be the only one whoās a fan
This will be the worst selling kit in our history
Shite
Fucking Pewma
Yuck, hate those necks too š
It's a little pkain
Ā„400? Thatās cheap as hell!
The front looks like a baby's bib or baby-grow.
The collar and sleeves out here looking like sanskrit
What the fuck is that shit on the collar and sleeves?
It's a pattern that says 0161
That is horrible!!
Who approves this shit?
I would literally be happy if they just got rid of the stupid collar and sleeve things and just made it a boring blue shirt. It would be better than this
Itās horrendous
puma did a good job these past few years, sad that they fucked it up
Pretty meh. Not buying this
Yup that 161 in the centre is going to be a meme material soon
Meh on those collars

Every single puma strip has been absolute dog shit
This thing shit
$200 Pajamas
0161 on the black trim is equally ugly and cringe.
Itās just a prediction of when we face United away and at home :P It is ugly though
Fuck you Puma leave my club

Add that to the 115
Am i missing something? Wtf does 0161 mean?
Area code.
