Following their first Premier League title win, Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher has taken the stage with Blues captain Vincent Kompany to reveal the club’s new home kit, which is available here.
The Burnage-born rock legend is pictured with captain Vincent Kompany wearing the new Manchester City home and away shirts which the team will wear during the 2012/13 season.
Earlier this season, Manchester-based sportswear company Umbro and City invited fans to come up with ideas to launch the Blues’ new kits.
Over the coming weeks, a series of ‘Show Your City’ fan launches will be released; starting with shots captured by music photographer and City fan Kevin Cummins.
Cummins – famous for his images of iconic Manchester bands such as Joy Division, The Smiths and The Stone Roses – captured the shots of Gallagher and Kompany in Belgium.

Kompany surprised gig goers at the Rock Werchter music festival in his native Belgium by introducing Gallagher prior to his performance. The 80,000 strong crowd cheered as the Belgian centreback embraced the musician on the main stage before his set.
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany said: “I always look forward to returning to Belgium but this really was a special occasion and a moment to savour. Noel is obviously a huge star so I was happy to introduce him in front of 80,000 fans in my home country.”
Noel Gallagher said: “The new home kit is pure class. It might be the best one we’ve had in a decade. As modern and radical as it is though, it’s nice to see Umbro keeping our heritage alive in the new away kit. The best dressed defending champions of all time? No doubt.”
The Home shirt retains City’s iconic sky blue colour and also incorporates black detailing and trim which takes influence from the 1969 FA Cup and 1970 League Cup winning kits.
The new Away shirt sees a return to the classic maroon colour worn by the FA Cup winning teams of 1934 and 1956, also tailored by Umbro.

I agree, a good and clean looking kit.
They actually have navy blue numbers.
Black looks nicer than white.
Liam did the last one, Noel gets this one!
Also, im pretty sure the maroon change will be just as nice as this one.
no, #1

what bogus stars? three titles, three stars. what you on about?
The 3 stars have been on since we changed the badge and have nothing to do with titles. So what you on about?
Are you a fan for the club or the shirt? It doesn't matter how the kit looks like. The important thing is your support for the club either in great times or bad times.
Maybe Nike will go bust sometime in the next 12 months?
Wonderful kit.

Apart of that, very nice jersey.
umbro is the perfect match for this team. umbro totally revealing the pride of being citizen. classic and brilliantly elegant.
wearing nike for the upcoming season in 2013/14 will ruin everything. ruin the manchester derby. nike vs nike? *oh god why*
Liam is a massive tool. Noel is the good brother. A lot of people left that day. Hell, my dad wanted to leave early, I convinced him to stay. Glad I did.
That blue is going to get lighter and lighter every season
Nike owns Umbro...not much of a change.
The Goalkeeper kit is class too. Solid Green with Black lettering and numbering.
Thought city would do better
