TAILORED BY UMBRO: NEW MANCHESTER CITY AWAY KIT

Umbro have revealed the new Manchester City away kit – and man do the Citizens look stylish. ‘Tailored by Umbro’ is what the Manchester-based company is all about and they have shown their design class once again with this stylish, dark navy-blue kit. The kit is accented with City’s classic sky blue which is featured on the open v-neck collar and on the long sleeve version’s cuffs.

Manchester City’s new away kit for the 2010/2011 season was revealed as part of their trip to downtown Manhattan in New York when some of the club’s stars had a kickabout against local footballers.

Joe Hart, Emmanuel Adebayor, Micah Richards, Dedryck Boyata, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Wayne Bridge and Kolo Touré arrived at Sara D. Roosevelt Park yesterday (22 July) afternoon to take on a group of native New Yorkers and to celebrate the launch of City’s new navy blue away strip.

City captain Kolo Touré commented: ‘We loved playing against the New Yorkers.  They gave us a good game on their home turf.  The pitch is right in the heart of the city and the atmosphere around it gave us a glimpse of how big football is in New York.  It was a fun game to play in and a great way to debut our new away kit’.

The shirt is constructed from three distinct panels which are tailored to meet the movement, ventilation and comfort needs of the player. These are combined into a unique ergonomic shape that inspires confidence in the wearer.

The socks, which feature sky blue hoops on a navy background, are designed to make teammates appear more clearly in a player’s peripheral vision.

Combining the best in performance technology with a smart, stylish look, Manchester City’s away kit will ensure that the players and fans look their best when representing the club away from home.
