Manchester City has officially launched their away kit for the 2026/27 season during a special event in Hong Kong, part of the team’s preseason Asia tour.

The kit features a sleek black-and-gold design, honoring Manchester’s famous worker bee emblem.
Fans of Enzo Maresca’s Manchester City can now celebrate the unveiling of the new 2026/27 away kit during the club’s pre-season tour in Asia this week.
The away shirt showcases a black base complemented by striking gold accents on the collar, underarm stripes, and sleeve cuffs. The highlight is an embossed pattern of worker bees, directly referencing one of Manchester’s most beloved cultural symbols.
Additionally, the pale gold hue is reminiscent of City’s 1989/90 third kit, blending nostalgic elements with a contemporary look. This release follows the introduction of the new home kit in May, which features a sky-blue gradient reflecting the various shades of blue associated with City throughout their history.
The two kit launches mark the beginning of the first full Puma kit cycle of the post-Pep Guardiola era. The early unveiling of the away kit coincided with a larger fan event titled ‘Harbour Pitch: Built For This City’ in Hong Kong, ahead of City’s friendly match against Inter on August 1.
