Manchester City and PUMA have revealed their 2026 Lunar New Year kit, honoring the Year of the Horse with a design rooted in traditional Chinese ink wash painting. The limited-edition jersey forms the centrepiece of a wider capsule collection that blends heritage storytelling with modern football energy. The kit will make its on-pitch debut on 1 February 2026 when City face Tottenham Hotspur.
Design Inspired by Chinese Ink Wash Painting
The Man City 2026 Year of the Horse kit uses earthy, neutral tones. A beige base serves as the canvas, layered with a dense, abstract pattern of horse heads across the front of the shirt. The design draws heavily from shui-mo hua (traditional Chinese ink wash painting), resulting in a bold yet refined graphic that rewards a closer look.
The kit balances artistry with edge, capturing both stillness and motion — the calm of vintage Chinese portraiture fused with the relentless momentum of a team built for high tempo.
Fire Horse Artwork at the Heart of the Jersey
At the centre of the jersey sits hand-drawn Fire Horse artwork, symbolising power, speed and spirit — traits instantly recognisable to Manchester City fans. The raw, illustrative quality gives the shirt a handcrafted feel that elevates it beyond a standard special edition.
On-Pitch Debut Against Tottenham Hotspur
The kit will be worn for the first time on 1 February 2026 in the Premier League fixture between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Year of the Horse officially begins on 17 February 2026.
The Wider Year of the Horse Campaign
The broader Year of the Horse campaign continues the refined fusion of tradition and modernity, reimagining cultural cues through a contemporary lens. PUMA and Manchester City position the Lunar New Year drop as more than a seasonal release — it becomes a platform for genuine creative expression.
