Manchester City Reveal Bee-Patterned Black-and-Gold Away Shirt in Hong Kong

The launch signals the start of City’s first full Puma kit cycle.

Overview

  • The club unveiled the away shirt in Hong Kong on Thursday, presenting a black kit with pale-gold trim and an all‑over embossed worker‑bee pattern that honours Manchester’s civic symbol.
  • Phil Foden, Abdukodir Khusanov and academy prospect Ryan McAidoo fronted the fan event on a floating 'Harbour Pitch' as supporters saw the new strip ahead of the Inter friendly.
  • Puma vice president Dominique Gauthier said the shirt was designed for top performance and to carry meaning for the city and its fans.
  • The away kit goes on general release this week and will be worn for the first time in the August 1 friendly with Inter Milan as City continue their Asia tour with scheduled matches in Seoul.
  • The reveal follows May’s new home shirt and places City inside a wider summer wave of fast, high‑profile kit launches that have increased fan attention on design, nostalgia cues and manufacturing quality.
