Leaked: First images of ‘confirmed’ 2025/26 Manchester City third kit | OneFootball

The first images of what is being labelled as the ‘confirmed’ third kit for Manchester City ahead of the 2025/26 season have now surfaced on social media.

Attentions are slowly beginning to turn to the new campaign with every passing day and week, particularly as Manchester City’s ongoing fortunes in the 2024/25 season continue to bring too much joy to supporters, players, and others concerned with the club.

While City remain in the chase for UEFA Champions League football next season courtesy of a top-five finish in the Premier League, and potentially added silverware through the FA Cup as the tournament reaches the semi-final stage, results continue to flicker.

As such, conversation around potential new signings, big-name exits from the first-team squad, and other notable changes for the 2025/26 season take more of a centre stage among supporters, including the brand new kits to be released by Puma.

Manchester City’s lead kit manufacturers have more often than not been relatively hit and miss with their designs since replacing Nike at the Etihad Stadium, but have no doubt brought about some modern day classics for the club’s playing squads and supporters.

Their latest release for Manchester City’s third kit ahead of the 2025/26 campaign is widely expected to be a hit among supporters, who often cry out for simplicity and on some occasions, the usage of black and white for colour schemes.

Now, according to images exclusively released by Opaleak – as relayed by Footy Headlines – Manchester City’s 2025/26 third shirt design will feature a combination of the colours black and white.

The brand new third kit also appears to introduce a chrome look to the club’s crest on the shirt, while there is notably a classic collar around the neckline of the shirt as opposed to a v-neck or crew neck feature.

Details surrounding the release date of Manchester City’s eye-catching third kit remain unknown at this stage, although many supporters across the globe will be eagerly anticipating the release of the edition.

The black and white third shirt for the 2025/26 season will follow Manchester City’s maroon and gold edition worn during the ongoing campaign as the club’s third-choice strip, which has also been a significant hit among fans alongside other shirts released.
