Manchester City and Nike unveil their new away kit

This season Manchester City FC will play in a new away kit that emphasizes their proud status as Barclays Premier League Champions, while providing a subtle reference to a key moment in their history.The away shirt features a dark blue collar with a lighter blue V-shaped insert, and the body consists of a series of blue bands. These tonal bands are dark blue at the top of the shirt and gradually become lighter travelling to the hem creating a striking modern graphic.In May 1999, Manchester City famously scored two late goals to secure a 2-2 draw against Gillingham in the Second Division playoff final at Wembley before winning in a penalty shoot-out and securing promotion back to the First Division.On that day, City triumphed wearing an away shirt of dark blue and yellow stripes. To honour that memorable occasion, this season's away shirt features yellow names and numbers on the back, and the Nike Swoosh and sponsor's name in yellow on the front.Inside the back of the neck is a dark blue pennant tab with the bold statement "We are City" in yellow.The new away shorts are dark blue and the new away socks are also dark blue with a lighter blue at the top. The away socks have a wide tonal stripe of chevrons on the back.While this new kit features Nike’s signature design details, it also offers players the very latest in performance innovation, kit technology and environmental sustainability.
