Football — 09/13/2024

The fourth uniform that Manchester City will wear in the 2024–25 season was co-designed by the iconic British musician Noel Gallagher, who has always been a fan.

The Premier League champions Oasis have taken inspiration from their iconic debut album Definitely Maybe, which is being released in 30 years.

The strip, which the club refers to as Definitely City, has outlines of “marine blue supersonic waves,” according to kit manufacturer Puma.

Speaking about his involvement in the design, Gallagher showed his love for his hometown team, which had seen a shift in fortune since he and brother Liam were regulars at Maine Road, long before Oasis rose to fame in the 1990s.

“I was into City before I was into music, I was into City before I knew what music was,” the speaker said. “I loved City before anything.” The 57-year-old said on the team’s website.
