‘Leaked new kit.’ Three words we hear far too much at this time of the year.
The Premier League’s not even been done with for a week and we can’t even get through a day without seeing a ridiculous transfer rumour or a speculative new kit design.
Manchester City are the subject of the latest kit rumour after the following design started doing the rounds on Twitter.

According to this, a slightly tubbier computer-generated Kevin De Bruyne and his City team-mates will be donning quite an adventurous design as they welcome in Pep Guardiola at the Etihad.
As well as the much talked-about new badge, the ‘new’ City shirt will also sport navy blue sleeves.
So, is this the real deal? We’re not too sure. It looks suspiciously like it’s simply been mocked up on PES to us.
But given that Nike, City’s kit manufacturers,  have produced shirts of a similar design for more or less every international team they make kits for in the last year, perhaps we shouldn’t be so quick to rule it out.
