Sportswear giant Nike is celebrating the win of Manchester City in its Premier League season recently with a special-edition jersey. The new commemorative shirt made its first debut as the Manchester City players walked out for the team's game against Swansea -- which marks the first time that the team has played since it earned a winning title earlier this month. The victory-centric jersey boasts a white color mainly, with two hues as a sash detail in light blue and maroon.
The chosen colors recall the home kits and the away kits of the team over the course of the season. An additional detail is the "Champions" embellishment in gold around the club crest, along with the names of each player during the season on the rear. The front sees "CITYZENS" as a nod to the fans of the team. The jersey will be available starting April 30th at the Nike Jersey Shop.
