Manchester City will wear a striking pink number on their travels next season after the club unveiled their away kit for the 2017/18 season.
The Nike Aeroswift strip, billed as "all-maroon" by the Premier League club, was revealed by summer signings Danilo and Ederson, Leroy Sane and Phil Foden on the club's pre-season tour of America.
Fans will be able to get their hands on the kit on July 27, a day after it's worn for the very first time in City's pre-season clash with European and Spanish champions Real Madrid in Los Angeles.
With sky-blue trim on the shirt and socks, the latest in a long line of maroon kits offers a nod to City's league title-winning side of 1967/68.
The sense of nostalgia continues between the sticks, with the all-maroon outfield kit paired with a traditional green shirt, shorts and socks for the goalkeepers.
"If the design pays reference to the past, then Nike's Aeroswift technology most certainly gives the kit a truly modern feel," a statement read.
"As the most advanced apparel innovation to date, the Aeroswift kit has engineered knit zones on the shirt, which enhance fit when playing.
"The sides of the kit feature a black stripe with blue underlay that runs the length of the shirt and blue shorts, expanding when in motion to maximise ventilation."
