Manchester City Retro Shirt 1988

There is a reason the retro kit tends to sell out first. It is the one Manchester City supporters can wear without it reading as fancy dress.

The photos do not quite capture the depth of the Manchester City colour. People tend to say it looks better in the flesh.

Before you choose a size

This is a supporter replica, not a player-issue shirt. The cut is relaxed rather than athletic, so it layers over a tee and does not cling. If you want the skin-tight on-pitch fit, this is not it — and most supporters prefer it that way.

The knit is opacity-tested under bright light, so it stays solid rather than going sheer under stadium floodlights or in photographs.

Name & number detail

{players} edition: official-style name and number already on the back, printed with a flexible, wash-resistant film.

Design accents: Relaxed regular fit

How it fits and feels

Weight distribution is even, so the shirt hangs straight instead of pulling toward the hem.

Recycled polyester knit with moisture-wicking finish. It moves sweat away from the skin and dries faster than cotton, which matters more than most buyers expect.

Shoulder seams are set slightly forward, which keeps them off the point of the shoulder where straps and bags rub.

Where you will wear it

The kind of shirt that gets worn until it needs washing rather than until the season ends.

Care and washing

The print is rated for around fifty domestic washes when washed cold and dried naturally. Tumble drying roughly halves that.

Common questions
How does this compare to the version sold at the club shop?

Club shop versions use stitched tackle-twill. Ours uses Embroidered retro patch & twill lettering in a relaxed block at Adult S, M, L, XL, 2XL (true to US/EU standard), which is why it costs considerably less while looking near-identical in a crowd.

Do you offer team or squad discounts?

Discounts start from six pieces and scale with quantity. Send your roster and sizes for a proper quote.

What is the best way to store it?

Folded or hung both work well. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight on the hanger, which fades one shoulder faster than the rest.
