Premier League champions Manchester City have launched a new limited-edition kit inspired by China’s lunar rover, the Jade Rabbit.
The Puma collection has been released ahead of the Year of the Rabbit, and as well as a new playing jersey includes an all-new jacket, tracksuit bottoms, and T-shirt.
Overall, the kit looks to combine Manchester City’s heritage, which dates back to 1880, with classic Chinese culture references that pay tribute to the successful mission of China’s Lunar rover, the Jade Rabbit in 2013.
For the new jersey, the top comes designed with a “Blazing Blue” foundation, while Puma has also included matt gold detailing around the V-neck lining.
Rounding off the design, the shirt features a unique sign-off on the neckline with a combination of the Manchester City logo and interwoven rabbits.
