With England securing a spot in the Euro 2024 yesterday evening (11 July 2024) in nailbiting fashion, it is safe to say – in the UK at least – the fervour for football has reached fever pitch. And this morning, the adrenaline-pumping result has coincided with an announcement from cult Italian label C.P. Company, which has teamed up with Manchester City men’s first team in a partnership that will begin from the 2024/25 season.
Manchester City, a club that has many of its players competing for their home nations in the European tournament – including Phil Foden, John Stones, and Kyle Walker – has had a long relationship with the Italian clothing brand, which was first established in the 1980s. The launch of the Goggle Jacket in 1988, recognised for the integrated lenses in the hood, became a favourite among fans of the game – especially among the Mancunian football community.
