Man City are no different, and on Thursday morning, revealed their third kit for the 2025/26 season.
In an unusual twist, the kit is a grey-looking colour complete with a trim of green down the sides and neck – officially “Cool Weather/Pro Green” – and features a raindrop design all over.
Puma have said the colouration pays homage to the people, the culture, and the spirit of Manchester – including the famous Mancunian weather.
Selling for up to £130 for an authentic jersey, or £85 for a standard and £90 for a long sleeve version, club commercial chiefs and kit manufacturer Puma naturally hope the kit will be a nice money-spinner.
However, they might have bitten off more than they can chew after fans gave their brutally honest verdict on the kit.
Reacting on social media, one fan said: “This might just end up being the most terrible kit in the history of the Prem.”
A second said: “Can you unrelease it please.”
A third added: “Now need to wash my eyes out with soap, cool.”

Another said: “What has my club become.”
A fifth simply said: “Hideous,” while a sixth added: “This is horrendous.”
These kits are the first set following Puma and City signing a record-breaking £1billion deal.
The contract – announced last month – is the biggest in history, beating Real Madrid’s £950million deal with Adidas.
Man City will kick-start their season against Wolves in Saturday’s late kick-off.
Pep Guardiola’s side will be aiming to reclaim their Premier League crown after finishing third last season.
They have recruited heavily in the summer, with six players – including Tijjani Reinjders, Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri and James Trafford – coming through the door so far.
Reports have suggested Gianluigi Donnarumma is set for a stunning move to the Etihad after being cast out by Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique, although City have downplayed the move.
