Puma launches sashy and sexy Man City home kit
For the first time in the Club's history, the Home kit features the famous 'sash' – the diagonal stripe design made iconic on previous City away days.
Puma launched the kit today priced at R1399 for the standard adult replica version. Fans can buy it at from 13 May at PUMA.com, all PUMA Retail stores, Totalsports, Sportsmans Warehouse, Studio 88, Takealot, and JD Sports.
Alongside the new shirt City also launched a pre-match kit with a white and sky blue pattern, retro-style tracksuit tops and dark blue hoodies as part of the new home kit range.
The fresh new iteration of the Home jersey pairs the unmistakable sky-blue City base with a white sash, that has been reimagined for the next generation.
First introduced on kits in the 70s and worn by club greats such as Mike Summerbee, Colin Bell, Francis Lee and Tony Book, the sash has a long history on Man City kits.
Historically seen on Away kits, this iconic Man City style makes its Home debut for the 25/26 season, creating a connection to the past with a futuristic design, bridging the gap between different generations of Man City fans.
Marco Mueller, PUMA's Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, added: 'We're so excited to be featuring the iconic sash, made famous from away days of old, on the Man City Home kit for the first time. Both in this kit and all our kits for this upcoming season, fans across the world will be reminded that with our partnership we do things differently and want to push the boundaries in terms of design, creativity and innovation'.
The Man City jersey is available in both Authentic and Replica versions. The Authentic Jersey, worn by
the players, is crafted with PUMA's ULTRAWEAVE fabric, which reduces weight and friction for elite-level performance.
The Replica Jersey offers the same striking look with a more relaxed fit, perfect for both match days and everyday wear. Both versions incorporate PUMA's dryCELL sweat-wicking technology to keep fans and players dry and comfortable.
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.
Containing at least 95% recycled textile waste and other used polyester materials, this initiative represents a significant step towards a more circular and sustainable production process for football jerseys.
The Man City men's first team will wear the new Home kit at this summer's Club World Cup, taking place
in the USA.

Nasreddine Nabi on his way back to Kaizer Chiefs?
Kaizer Chiefs have defied the odds at the start of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season, winning both of their opening fixtures despite the absence of head coach Nasreddine Nabi, who is currently in Tunisia due to a family emergency. Nabi's wife was reportedly injured in an accident at home, prompting his immediate return to Tunisia. In his absence, assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef has taken charge of day-to-day operations. Despite the disruption, Kaizer Chiefs have looked sharp and organised – beating Stellenbosch FC in the opener and then Polokwane City, scoring three unanswered goals across both matches. Ben Youssef emphasised that Nabi remains actively involved, even from abroad. 'We are in contact every day. We prepare every session and every game together. Coach Nabi may not be physically here, but his presence is still felt in everything we do.' The team's technical staff, long accustomed to working closely together, has helped maintain tactical consistency. According to reports, Nabi is soon expected to begin the long journey back to South Africa and is expected to arrive before the end of the week. Kaizer Chiefs now sit top of the standings on goal difference, level on six points with Durban City, Marumo Gallants, and Sekhukhune United. The club will look to continue their early dominance when they host Richards Bay at FNB Stadium on Tuesday in their third league match of the season. Kick-off is at 19:30.

Oscar Piastri to have Australian Grand Prix grandstand named after him
Oscar Piastri will have a grandstand named after him at the Australian Grand Prix from next year, an honour the McLaren driver said was 'surreal'. The Piastri Grandstand will sit opposite the pit lane at the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne, the home race of 24-year-old Piastri. 'It is pretty surreal, it still feels weird racing at home – it is very cool racing at home,' the world championship leader said on social media. Other notable drivers with stands at Albert Park include Jack Brabham, Arthur Waite, Alan Jones, Daniel Ricciardo and Mark Webber. Piastri currently tops the drivers' standings with 284 points, narrowly ahead of McLaren team-mate Lando Norris, with 10 grands prix left in this campaign. Australia hosts the first race of next season. The naming of a grandstand is an honour typically reserved for sporting legends with a long line of achievements. Former F1 driver Webber said it was a reflection of Piastri's promising results so far as he pursues a first world crown. 'Clearly he is very comfortable at the elite level and making his presence felt, which is brilliant, and representing Australia in the way that the country likes to be represented,' he said in a statement.
