I rarely dislike any of our kits and understand that they have to come up with something different to please but that kit is fuckin horrendous.

How do you have a kit that's as excellent as the away kit, and another that's as fucking appalling as that 3rd kit in the same season?

Just seen the “advert” for it they’ve sent me by email.
Miedema looks like some little 13 year old knobhead from Gorton who nicks e-scooters and hasn’t been to school for 4 years.
It’s actually even worse than the Noel Gallagher one which I thought would be impossible.

Yeah, I remember this and don't think this kit was an option. Can't find the evidence of the competition now though.
These 'wacky' 3rds are getting worse every time - dread to think what next seasons will end up like...
Ah, next seasons kit is the competition one...

Could be absolutely anything.... I guess it's got a fair chance of being better than this year's though...

Closed now. It says there was a shortlist of 10 that were then voted on. The shortlist is here (and not great)

Manchester City launch AI design competition for 2026 third kit
Manchester City have launched a competition where fans can submit AI designs. The winning entry will adorn the club’s third kit in the 2026/2027 season. Is this a good idea, or perhaps worthy of charge 116?

Only just read the article after posting the above, and it's one for the media thread also, because it's clearly written by an absolute tool.
I think that’s for next season’s third kit (2026-27).
The finalists were these:
Unless I’ve missed it, I don’t think the winner has been announced yet.
My personal favourites are these two:
Not perfect, I’d rather the sky+navy sash be diagonal from shoulder to hip, and I’d rather the white pinstripes on the purple kit were uniform in distance… but still the best of the bunch, for me.

That is truly a vile kit of the highest order and whoever designed it needs help
Yeah I like the top one of those 2 the most. Wonder if the silver and lime/blue one will be vetoed because it's a similar colour scheme to this years.

Meh it's not as bad as the home kit with purple on the sleeves I hated that kit.
This will never be touched as the worst ever, for me:
Just looks like it should be a 90s United training top.

Ranks alongside this as the worst we've ever had imo.

Guess I was disassociating not looking into what the 3rd kit looked like- get an email this AM>
UGH. What a horrible choice.
Did someone with a sick kid who mocked this up with crayon have pictures of top brass at Puma in a compromising position?
Also notice that it's Doku and Bobb modeling on the page it links me too- they look like "FUUUUUCK we can't exactly say no" whilst their mates are likely laughing their arses off out of frame.

Not saying it's good, but not in the worst 5 for me. At least this has a relative simplicity in the design.

Either of the pinstripe ones, probably the white one edges the purple one.
