PUMA & MANCHESTER CITY LAUNCH THE 24/25 AWAY KIT
Cape Town, South Africa, 8 August 2024 — Global sports company PUMA and Manchester
City have today launched the brand-new Away kit for the 24/25 season. Marking the 25th
anniversary of one of the most iconic moments in the Club’s history, the kit pays homage to the
kit worn during an unforgettable comeback on May 30, 1999, when City triumphed over
Gillingham in the Second Division Play-Off final in dramatic fashion.
Manchester City’s history is rich with moments of tenacity and resilience, and the 1999 Play-Off
final is a testament to that spirit. Trailing by two goals, City’s determination eventually saw them
through to victory on penalties, after Paul Dickov’s dramatic equaliser in the 95 th minute took the
game into extra time. To celebrate this iconic match that has been etched into the hearts of the
Manchester City fans, PUMA has brought back a certified classic: a navy-blue jersey featuring
neon yellow vertical stripes, with neon yellow and blue detailing on the classic collar and sleeve
trims.
Paul Dickov, Manchester City Club Ambassador, said: “It’s fantastic to see this year’s Away kit
revealed today. The 1999 Play-off final victory remains a special moment for myself and City
fans around the world and I know the kit from that day is remembered by those who were there
and beyond. It’s a wonderful gesture by the Club and PUMA to commemorate the anniversary
with this year’s Away kit.”
Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Head of Product Line Management Team sport Apparel, added:
“This kit symbolizes a defining moment in Manchester City’s history and the relentless spirit of
its fans. Our goal was to create a jersey that honours the past while using the latest in
performance technology to meet the needs of today’s athletes and supporters. We’re proud to
bring back a design that holds such significance and to do so with a sustainable approach.”
Reflecting PUMA’s commitment to sustainability, the Replica jerseys are made using the
RE:FIBRE initiative, utilizing recycled textile waste to create new materials without
compromising quality. This initiative represents a significant step towards a more circular and
sustainable production process for football jerseys.
The 24/25 Away kit will be available in both Authentic and Replica versions, ensuring that every
fan can wear a piece of history. The Authentic jersey, as worn by the likes of Jack Grealish, Kyle
Walker and Alex Greenwood, is crafted with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, designed to reduce
weight and friction, providing elite-level performance. The Replica jersey offers the same iconic
look with a more casual fit, ideal for both match days and everyday wear. Both versions
incorporate PUMA’s dryCELL sweat-wicking technology to keep fans and players dry and
comfortable.
The Manchester City Away kit is available from PUMA Retail stores, PUMA.com, Sportsmans
Warehouse, Totalsports and Studio 88 from 15 August. Price R1399 and R1199 for Junior size.
