PUMA, Manchester City Launch ‘Definitely City’ Collection in Collaboration with Oasis’ Noel Gallagher

PUMA and Manchester City has announced the unveiling the “Definitely City” kit for the 24/25 season, co-designed by musician and lifelong City fan, Noel Gallagher. Marking the 30th anniversary of Oasis' iconic “Definitely Maybe” album, the special-edition kit draws inspiration from the album cover.

The “Definitely City” kit will be worn exclusively in select European fixtures this season. The design features a bold aesthetic that echoes the imagery of “Definitely Maybe,” paying tribute to the band and the city of Manchester.

The special-edition jersey features a light straw base color with bold blue side panels and sleeves with subtle poppy pink detailing on the cuffs and panels of the jersey. Intricate outlines of marine blue supersonic waves adorn the jersey, with PUMA paying tribute to the color palette from the album cover.

The kit is part of the “Definitely City” collection, all designed in collaboration with Noel Gallagher. The full collection includes a track jacket and pants, overshirt, bomber jacket, tee, polo, retro jersey and drill top.

“I loved City before anything, I was into City before I was into music, I was into City before I knew what music was,” says Gallagher. “’Definitely Maybe’ is what set us on our way, the record lasting as long, you can’t predict that kind of thing. It’s a great working class, Mancunian record – it’s real.

“When PUMA approached us at one of the games about designing a kit it took about five seconds to agree to it. It’s the same color palette as the cover of ‘Definitely Maybe’: it’s unique but it’s definitely striking and I think it looks great. When you see people representing your Club, it’s important that they look good.

“’Definitely Maybe’ has never lost its magic to me, I just think it’s an amazing snapshot of what we were about. With the anniversary, I’ve been listening to it a lot more than I would ever listen to it, it makes me smile – they were great times. It’s spawned a great football kit, it’s legacy lives on.”

“The 24/25 ‘Definitely City’ kit is not just a piece of sportswear; it's a celebration of Manchester City's ongoing journey and a tribute to a cultural phenomenon that resonates with fans around the world,” says Marco Mueller, senior head of product line management teamsport apparel, PUMA. “We've combined cutting-edge technology with a design that honors both the Club’s heritage and the legacy of ‘Definitely Maybe.’"
