Soaked in Sweat: Manchester City 125th Anniversary Kit Debuted
Manchester City are currently debuting their brand-new 125th anniversary kit in the Community Shield against Liverpool.
Although the kit is definitely a class look with its clean and sponsor-less design, it once again seemed to have a less than ideal material as players were seen heavily sweating shortly into the game.
Similar observations could already be made as City wore their new Puma home, away and third kits recently. Once again, the "problem" seems to mostly affect the front panel, while the back appears to have much better ventilation properties.
This did not go unnoticed by viewers around the world, as evidenced by the following Tweets:
the plainness of city's kit is very nice, i don't like how you can just see every drop of sweat though

Goalkeeper Claudio Bravo also received a more low-key one-off kit for the occasion, although his kit is just based on a standard teamwear template from Puma.
The Puma Manchester City 125 Years jersey will be available to buy from 29th. 1,894 of the authentic shirts will be available, while the replica will not be limited.
