Manchester City are an English Premier League soccer team. From the 1980's the club went through a period of decline and little success. However, in 2008 they received substantial investment from the Abu Dhabi United Group that has transformed the clubs successes.
In 2012 we saw Vincent Kompany in the Manchester City soccer jersey lift the Premier League for the 1st time.
The 2013 - 2014 season marks the start of a new relationship for the club with American kit supplier Nike. The team's football shirts will be manufactured by Nike for at least the next 6 seasons.
This follows the completion of a substantial deal worth £12m per year for the club. Prior to this season the kits have been made by Umbro, which was previously owned by Nike.
The brand new Manchester City home soccer jersey 2013 - 2014 is a simple sky blue design with crew neck collar.
The collar and sleeve trims feature a thin navy blue stripe. The front features an embroidered club crest, Nike Swoosh and printed Etihad Airways sponsor.
This fantastic shirt features the latest sports technology for absorbing sweat and increasing air-flow.
In September 2008 the Abu Dhabi United Group completed a successful takeover of the club worth an estimated £200m. The large influx of additional finances meant heavy investment in the club and the signings of some top quality international players to wear the Manchester City soccer jerseys.
Following this investment they won the FA Cup in 2011, the Premier League and the Community Shield in 2012, their 1st major trophies since the 1970s.
The 2013 - 2014 season started well for Manchester City. Their 1st match of the season was against Newcastle United on 19th August, it was played at their home ground the Etihad Stadium.
The team under the guidance of their new manager Manuel Pellegrini secured their 1st 3 points by beating their opponents 4-0.
Wearing the Manchester City home football kit the team has been unstoppable in every Premier League game played at the Etihad Stadium so far this season.
In the 5 home matches they have played so far the team has secured 3 points from each.
They have produced some outstanding results including a 7-0 win over Norwich City at the beginning of November.
Away from home the story has been completely different. In the 6 away games so far the team that wear the Manchester City soccer jerseys have lost on 4 occasions.
The team managed to scrape a 0-0 draw at the Britania Stadium in Stoke and won against West Ham with a final score of 1-3.
Therefore, from a possible 18 points they have only taken away 4, resulting in them currently sitting in 8th place in the table.
This weekend it was another away tie with the players wearing the Manchester City soccer jerseys travelling to the Stadium of Light in Sunderland.
The visiting side had the majority of the possession, 24 shots compared to Sunderland's 5 but still left with 0 points.
Bardsley put the home side 1-0 up in the 21st minute. Manchester City was unable to recover as Sunderland's defence was impenetrable.
This defeat was a shock for the players and fans that wear the Manchester City soccer jerseys. Sunderland are currently 19th in the table having secured only 7 points from the opening 11 matches of the 2013 - 2014 season.
This should have been an 'easy' 3 points for the side who finished 2nd in the table last season and were hoping to be serious contenders for lifting the trophy in May.
This lack of consistency between home and away results needs addressing and rectifying immediately if there is to be any chance of seeing Kompany lifting the Premier League trophy in his Manchester City home soccer jersey 2013 - 2014 again this season.
Pellegrini is keen to make a decisive impact during his 1st season in charge and will want to finish well both in the league and Europe.
