'Long live the king' - Man City fans react as PUMA tease release of new home kit

This coming week is going to feel like a pressure cooker for Manchester City fans, as the days count down to the all-important final day of the season.

City's 2-2 draw with West Ham on Sunday means that Pep Guardiola's men must beat Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium on the final day to guarantee Premier League title victory. Anything less than three points and they'll be relying on Wolves to do them a favour against Liverpool at Anfield.

Next Sunday is guaranteed to be a day filled just as much with nerves as excitement, with those emotions only intensifying as the week drags on. Thankfully, on Thursday City fans will be given something that should provide a slight distraction.

On Monday morning PUMA published a video on Twitter that teased the release of City's 2022/23 home shirt. The video featured archive footage of City legend Colin Bell, seemingly confirming the speculation that the new kit will pay tribute to The King . The video ended with the date 19/05/22, the expected release date of the new shirt.

If images leaked online are anything to go by, then the new strip is going to be a stunner. A sky blue shirt with a maroon-trimmed round neck, complete with rare central club badge placement; it's retro, classic and plenty of Blues are excited.
