City can today reveal this season's "third kit" in the brilliant new Umbro range - and it's a classic remastered that will have older Blues fans thinking back to the Seventies.

While the new kit draws its inspiration from the Club's proud history and an element of familiarity, it is a superb design for today rather than simply an exercise in nostalgia.

The shirt has a black and red sash across a white base with the team sponsor subtly located under the crest, but the sash slants in the opposite direction to those on previous designs.

David Blanch, senior designer at Umbro, said: "The third kit is very special, a modern interpretation of City's original sash design. However, we have moved the sash to the other side.

"One of the reasons for doing this is because we wanted to draw attention to the crest, which was done with the full support of the Club and the Club Sponsor Etihad.

"I'm really pleased with the final product because it makes such a statement. I'd like to think that this kit demonstrates that a sponsor can enhance a design rather than compromise it."

The remastered version of this City classic, worn with distinction by such Blues stars as Dennis Tueart and Gary Owen, will make its Premier League debut at Portsmouth on Sunday.

City CEO Garry Cook said: "We're really pleased with the look of the third shirt, and it completes a fantastic range of products we now have for both players and fans.

"The initial reaction we've had to the design has been incredible. I think this season's third shirt is quickly going to become a true Manchester City classic."

City's third kit will be available to pre-order from Friday, 4 September and will go on general sale from Saturday, 26 September at www.mcfc.co.uk

Well, I was struggling to decide which names to get on the shirts I wanted to purchase, I was torn between robinho, Ireland and Tevez as I planned to get the home and away shirt and one was to be left out but the more I look at this third kit the more I feel I might end buy this one too, and that would solve my problem, lol. Awesome, there's really little else to say.

Bein worn on Sunday.

Just found this:

Manchester City’s 09/10 Third Kit Is the Best New Premier League Shirt

Now clearly Man City have become something of a hated entity in recent months. David Moyes and his Everton club are understandably angry at the manner in which they conducted the Joleon Lescott saga and Man United supporters, not needing new ammunition on this front, were irritated by the Carlos Tevez billboards. Arsenal supporters, whilst happy to offload Emmanuel Adebayor to the club were probably upset to see Kolo Toure move in the same direction. But all of that is now irrelevant in my book! Why I hear you ask? Well this is why! (See Below).



I am sure that almost every football fan with an ounce of fashion sense will agree that this new kit design, albeit a copy of a 70s classic, is simply a beauty. It’s the kind of timeless design that makes many hark back to the days when a beer cost a fraction of what it does today and long for the latest Bowie album to be released.
Such is the quality of the thing, I would suggest that Umbro releases a version of the shirt without the Man City badge, so that everyone can wear it!
