Manchester City have launched their new third kit for the coming 2020-21 season.
The kit, to be worn by City’s mens, women and youth teams, celebrates “the rich music and fashion culture of the city by creating a bespoke paisley pattern that features details of the club’s crest.”
Joe Donovan and Tom Ogden from Blossoms, a band from nearby Stockport, took part in the photo shoot to launch the new CIty strip celebrating Manchester’s musical past.
Ogden, singer for Blossoms, said: “I’ve never seen a kit like this before, it’s different and I think it’s really smart. Manchester is obviously proud of its music scene and it’s good to showcase that and give this kit a story behind it.”
City fans will hope to see some new faces wearing the strip when the new season starts with the club linked again with a sensational move for Lionel Messi.
City are said to be considering a move for the Argentine after he handed in a transfer request at Barcelona and demanded to be allowed to leave for nothing this summer.
But Barca are refusing to honour a break in his contract which expired in June and insist any club wishing to buy him need to pay his €700 million (£631.3m) buyout clause.
