Manchester City F.C. season 2013/14 Kit
Following on from England's lead, Manchester City have ditched Umbro and switched to Nike in a deal worth £72million over six years.
The deposed Premier League champions said of their new home kit: 'The kit pays homage to City’s heritage while reflecting the future. The shirt is a classic football design, and unmistakably City, featuring a sky blue body with a white ribbed crew neck and cuffs.
'The collar and cuffs also feature a dark blue trim to represent the colour of the socks City wore as a part of one of their first ever kits in 1892. Weighing only 150 grams, and made from recycled polyester, it is the lightest shirt Nike has ever produced.'
The club crest has been embroidered inside the shield shape to pay tribute to the Manchester coat of arms and inside the neck, the words 'Pride in Battle' are stitched, the translation of the club motto Superbia in Proelio.
Nike's kit is a conservative start but it looks great and proves sometimes simplicity is best.
