Manchester Clubs Headline Slew of European Kit Unveilings

Manchester United are going green for their 2023-24 away kits, made by Adidas.

The base of the kits is “night green” with off-white vertical stripes running down the front and sleeves. Each off-white stripe has a maroon pinstripe inside it, “reminiscent of [Manchester’s] distinctive red bricks and architecture.”

The jersey is a nod back to United’s early years, according to the club, “reviving the iconic vertical stripes that were last seen two decades ago.” The collar and Adidas shoulder stripes are also off-white.

MANCHESTER CITY – Third

Defending Premier League champions Manchester City unveiled their 2023-24 third kit, made by Puma, during a preseason tour stop in Tokyo this week.

The collar and sleeve cuffs are also dark blue with light blue stripes through the middle.

The away kit is blue with darker blue sleeves and yellow accents, while the third kit is gold with black accents.
