Manchester City in the thick of a tight race for the 2021-22 Premier League title are reaching even further back in their history for the inspiration for their 2022-23 home kits. City are taking it back to the club’s successes in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when they won every domestic title available and the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1970. Of particular importance was Colin Bell “Colin the King,” as he was known to fans who is memorialized with a crown logo printed inside the collar of the new kits.

The shirt itself is City’s familiar shade of light blue, but the crew neck collar and sleeve cuffs are maroon with white stripes through the middle. The club crest and Puma logo are centered on the chest, above the sponsor logo. A silhouette of a sailboat, similar to the one found in City’s crest, appears in navy blue on the back collar with “CITY” written underneath.
