On August 5th, just five days ahead of their 2015 2016 Premier League season opener, Manchester City football club officially began selling their brand new away kit design in stores. That didn't give fans much time to get their hands on the Manchester City away kit 2015 - 2016 before the Sky Blues' season-starting fixture at West Bromwich Albion, on August 10th.
Now, the Sky Blues have put themselves in first place on the Premier League table with a thrilling 3-0 win at West Brom, and you have plenty of time to stop by Soccer Box and pick up a new Manchester City away shirt before the football club wears it next! Manchester City are set to play Chelsea FC at home on August 16th, but will play their next out of town fixture on August 23rd, at Everton. Soccer Box is the place to go if you are looking for either the home shirt or the away kit online!
The 2015 2016 Away Shirt: A Striking New Design
Created once again in partnership with kit manufacturer Nike, the Manchester City away jersey 2015 2016 boasts a stunning new design that builds upon last year's away kit in cool and unexpected ways.
It was tough not to love the 2014 2015 Man City away shirt, with how it faded from brighter blue at the bottom of the jersey to deeper navy at the top. But where last season's kit was blue and navy with yellow accent colors, the 2015 2016 design is darker and subtler, eliminating the blue-to-navy fade, and trading the yellow detailing for cool electric blue trim.
Still, the Manchester City away jersey 2015 2016 isn't a complete departure from last season's design. The reason that Man City's 2014 2015 away kit was so eye-catching was how the blue-to-navy fade gave the shirt the look of a night sky-fitting giving the soccer club's nickname of "the Sky Blues."
This year, that unique color dynamic may be gone, but Nike and Manchester City are still invoking the night sky, with a striking graphic patterning on both sleeves that captures the cratered texture of the lunar surface. It's a different, tasteful touch that elevates Manchester City's latest away kit design from "good" to "great."
A Strong Debut
For the Sky Blues soccer squad, the official in-game debut of the Manchester City kit 2015 - 2016 could hardly have been more positive. On August 10th, players took the pitch at West Bromwich Albion, clad in their new shirt, despite the away fixture they did in fact wear the home shirt for this game. However, it seems that the 2015 - 2016 kit proved to be good luck for the football team, as they not only scored a win in their first game of the season, but managed the biggest victory of the entire Premier League opening weekend.
Indeed, by the time Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion played on Monday, it was game 10 of 10 for Premier League week one. In the previous two days, Chelsea had drawn with Swansea City, Arsenal had lost to West Ham United, and Manchester United had beaten Tottenham Hotspur 1-0.
In beating West Brom 3-0-thanks to a first-half brace from the great Yaya Toure-the Sky Blues managed the only three-point victory of the weekend, thus earning themselves a spot at the top of the 2015 2016 Premier League table. It's a good place to start for a football club looking to get back to the winner's circle this season.
Will the Sky Blues continue winning matches in such impressive style? Will Chelsea bounce back from their lukewarm season start? What can we expect from Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool? Only time will answer those questions, but two things are for sure: first, the 2015 2016 Premier League is officially underway; second, Manchester City have come to win.
