Suited and booted: MM’s top ten classic Umbro Football kits:
2. Manchester City Home Shirt 2009-2011
City ended 35 years of hurt by winning their first trophy since 1976 in this kit and secured Champions League qualification for the first time under the stewardship of Roberto Mancini.
The tailored slim-fit sky blue shirt showed off the considerable physiques of Micah Richards, Yaya Toure and Mario Balotelli but it was the stocky Carlos Tevez, who was the star for the Blues during the era of this kit.
The Argentine fired 20 Premier League goals for the Citizens wearing in this shirt endearing himself to Blues fans with memorable strikes at Eastlands against Chelsea and Stoke City in particular.
Of course the success City enjoyed in this kit was followed up with a Premier League title the following season but the same but after his much-publicised fallout with Mancini Tevez’ reputation was never quite the same amongst City fans after that.
