City 26-27 Third Jersey Shirt – Fan-Designed White & Blue Football Jersey
The City 26-27 Third Jersey Shirt is connected to an unusual chapter in Manchester City kit history. For the 2026–27 third kit, supporters were invited to create concepts through an AI-powered design platform. Fans from more than 200 countries produced over 180,000 shirt concepts, followed by approximately 1.7 million platform ratings before a final shortlist went to a supporter vote.
The winning concept came from lifelong City supporter Elliott. Its selection made the 2026–27 third kit notable as the club described it as the first fan-designed AI kit in professional football to be worn by players on the pitch and sold to supporters.

The Story Behind the White and Blue Artwork:
- The visual identity centers on a clean white foundation divided by a striking vertical two-tone treatment. Sky blue and deep navy run down the middle with a gradient transition, creating a modern interpretation of colors closely associated with City. The winning concept specifically featured this white base and central two-tone sash.
- The Jersey shown here builds on that recognizable theme with the club crest, ETIHAD AIRWAYS lettering and blue detailing across the front. The personalized back adds YOUR NAME above the large number 10, while the continuing blue gradient helps connect the front and rear presentation.
For supporters who enjoy apparel tied to distinctive moments in club history, the City 26-27 Third Jersey Shirt captures a season when fan creativity became part of the design story itself. The personalized name-and-number presentation adds another expressive element, making the piece suitable for wearing, gifting or adding to a football-inspired collection.
