PUMA and Manchester City are proud to unveil the Definitely City kit for the 24/25 season, co-designed by legendary musician and lifelong City fan, Noel Gallagher. Marking the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ iconic album Definitely Maybe, the special-edition kit draws inspiration from the album cover that defined a generation.

Speaking about his involvement in the design of the Definitely City kit, Noel Gallagher said: “I loved City before anything, I was into City before I was into music, I was into City before I knew what music was. Definitely Maybe is what set us on our way, the record lasting as long, you can’t predict that kind of thing. It’s a great working class, Mancunian record – it’s real.

“When PUMA approached us at one of the games about designing a kit it took about five seconds to agree to it. It’s the same colour palette as the cover of Definitely Maybe: it’s unique but it’s striking, and I think it looks great. When you see people representing your Club, it’s important that they look good.

“Definitely Maybe has never lost its magic to me, I just think it’s an amazing snapshot of what we were about. With the anniversary, I’ve been listening to it a lot more than I would ever listen to it, it makes me smile – they were great times. It’s spawned a great football kit, it’s legacy lives on.”
