To mark the 125th anniversary of the club, the reigning Premier League champions will wear a special one-off kit in their Community Shield match against Liverpool.
The simplistic shirt only bears Man City’s badge with no sponsorships of any kind and pays homage to the club’s long history.
As you would expect, supporters on social media were starstruck over how slick and impressive the special kit was in an era of the game where sponsorships and logos are taking up more and more space on football shirts.
Fans took to social media to give their opinions on the one-off shirt, and here is what some of them had to say on Twitter…
Can we wear that all season?

This is better than our actual home kit

This is 100% better than the actual hone kit they’ve given us this season.

Utterly magnificent. Pure, simple and properly @mancity. https://t.co/RIB3SJJNQu
