Manchester City’s away kits recall a watershed moment

The 2018-19 away kits for #manchestercity F.C. harks back to two decades ago, when the 1998-99 squad won what many consider as the most important game in the club’s history, and sparked the modern-day revival of its winning ways.

The dark blue shirt with field blue and yellow pin stripes down the front and back recall the Club’s away shirt for a playoff final against Gillingham. After being down 2-0 at the end of normal time, City scored two dramatic injury-time goals and later won the match on penalties, taking them back up to Division One. Volt-colored socks with a dark blue band around the shin completes the fresh look for the Premier League Champions.

Alongside the #manchestercity players in their preseason match against Liverpool, four original participants from the youth City in the Community program in New York City will launch the kits. These four kids found greater opportunities in football after #manchestercity dedicated a rooftop pitch at their Harlem-based school, Lexington Academy, in 2010.

The 2018-19 #manchestercity away kit is available on #nike.com and mancity.com/shop.
