The new Third Kit of Manchester City for the 2019-2020 season

The third kit of Manchester City for the 2019-2020 season was presented this Monday by Puma in an exclusive launch event held in Shanghai, which brought color to the start of the 'Citizens' pre-season tour of Asia.

The uniform features a gradient design predominantly in yellow and pink, inspired by the "brilliance of style" practiced by the team led by Pep Guardiola, the institution explained through a statement on its official website.

The colors "embody the modernity of the club and its mission to play attractive, technically qualified, and attacking football," added Manchester City, whose expedition will arrive in China to compete in the 'Premier League Asia Trophy' this week.

The delegation was supposed to fly to Shanghai on Saturday, but their flight was delayed for 24 hours due to administrative issues with the travel agency. A day later, the problems were not resolved and the flight was rescheduled for Monday.

The 'Citizens' missed the tournament's opening, while Guardiola and a player were scheduled to hold a press conference on Monday.

After a 9,000-kilometer journey, City will have only a few hours to acclimatize to the heat, humidity, and time difference before their first match against West Ham on Wednesday in Nankin.

Guardiola's team will play in the final or third place match against Wolverhampton or Newcastle on Saturday in Shanghai, before moving on to Hong Kong and Japan to continue their tour.
