Manchester City & Umbro strike up a deal and reveal 09/10 kits
Update: Scroll down to see City’s third shirt and pre-order information.
On 4th June, 2009 Umbro and Manchester City announced a ten-year brand partnership. City broke off their deal with Le Coq Sportif and revealed their new 2009/2010 kits with the announcement. The new City kits were completely revealed on their official website.
This is not the first time Umbro will be manufacturing kits for City. Some 75 years ago, Umbro supplied kits for City when they won the 1934 FA Cup final. Today, the company and the club are trying to revive those memories and pay tribute to the 1934 win by wearing the old kits with the modern touch. Just like the images suggested, these kits are one of the simplest and one of the best out of all the kits revealed so far this summer… After all, Umbro is a subsidiary of Nike.
Images and descriptions after the jump…
Home
The home kit is a combination of City’s past and technology, the work on the kit has been done in quite detail while keeping the tradition in mind. The club’s crest has also been remastered to enhance the identity of the club. The home kits is available for pre-order from their official website for now.

Third
The third kit is a good example of crafting an old school kit into the modern design of today.The shirt features a black and red sash across a white base and the team sponsor is moved to under the crest to avoid compromising the visual identity of the sash. The sponsor, Etihad, Umbro and Manchester City FC have worked closely together to bring forth this design. The third kit will be on general sale from October.

one word – BRILLIANT
we will be the best looking team in the premiership, no doubt, quality design, looks like we will be winning in style next season.
CTID.
I agree, smashing color selection. it could be just my new 19′ lcd monitor though
looks a bit gay to me nobheads
Awesome designs, I know these are only partial picutres, and I will be getting the Home shirt as soon as it’s released.
Chelsea’s and Everton’s home shirts are horrible. But all four of these look brilliant!
Very pleasantly surprised, I have to admit that when I heard umbro would be making our kits I instantly worried. But it is nice to see they are using their retro logo, not the modern chavvier one. I am looking forward to the third kit the most, the diagonal stripes are great.
Oh and it looks like Sunderland drawn the short straw when it comes to umbro kits.. have you seen the state of that??
I love the kits! We are gonna be the best looking team next season. i like the tailoring too
Nice to see the shirts I will be wiping my ass with next season…
Seen the proper pics, absolute shit, and i’m saying this as a football fan in general and not just a Man utd fan.
PS City R a bunch of CUNTS.
what is that man united fan looking at our new kit for?
beeter watch our new team the nobhead
better
ally20791 is showing signs of jealousy already just had great night in with boys watching our double derby wins last season
Culd do with some better pictures
kits the same as city’s football medioaker P.S you’ve got a United Legend managing you so STFU
the best kits
Why are these munich cunts so interested in our new kit? I think secretly know ronaldos going they want to follow us.
I think Tevez will look amazing with the new kit
fuck man utd
Effing Brill, I love the 3rd kit
Best kit weve had for a while will be nice tosee tevez wearing it on our bench
Yep Tevez will look good in the new kit on the bench. Love the away strip. Fuck united, you dirty red poo pushing bum shovelling sausage jockeys. You’re gay, and you know you are. COME ON CITEH!!!!!
After looking at a pic of a collar and a badge you expect us to part with £45
Get real shown a better pic
The kits are definitely an improvement on anything we’ve had for years. It’s a shame they didn’t revert to the old badge. It would have looked perfect on the home kit. Very Colin Bell.
Ironic how you united have introduced a Rugby League shirt for next season considering the only way they’re going to score goals after losing Greasy Ron and Tevez is by picking the ball up and running with it.
I’m a United Fan but I really like the look of these, Umbro seem to have done as good a job as they did with England.
The material looks a bit odd though, anybody worn anything like this before? Does you sweat like a bitch?
And all the dickhead United fans on this board, grow up, I’m a stretford end season ticket holder and I’ve got respect for City, I’d rather have successful teams in Manchester than London or Liverpool.
u man city fans are all talking about ur new team next season the new team that you have robbed with ur money cus u cant get anyone without giving them fuking 1 billion as a wage ur team makes me sick they need to get rid of that bloke cus he is ruining footy and also it does not matter cus with all the money and talent u get ur hands on it will make no difference u might win the derbys but who gets the titles every year u CUNTS.
PS- SHIT TOP
hey.. we’re here only to talk about the shirts only.. not on the clubs & what so ever..
thanks..
The home looks like a plain t-shirt. Kinda ugly. Away is nice though.
city rules yehh! and im proud of it
I Think these new shirts are really good.
What are the three stars for though?
Is it for the two titles you have won or the three divisions you have see sawed between in your glorious history?.
“Hey mam here,s the dustbin men !”
I don´t really like it, it lacks of beauty at all, don´t know, such a plain shirt.
f**k off ally20791
