Leaked: Man City 26-27 Fourth Kit — Puma x C.P. Company
Footy Headlines reported on 4 September 2026 that Puma and C.P. Company are preparing a Manchester City 26-27 fourth kit for release late in 2026. It is described as army green with vibrant orange accents, garment-dyed tonal shading and a co-branded lens crest. Puma and the club have not confirmed it.
TL;DR
- Footy Headlines has published an exclusive claiming Puma and C.P. Company will release a Manchester City 26-27 fourth kit late in 2026.
- The shirt is described as army green with vibrant orange accents, tonal garment-dyed shading and a co-branded crest styled after C.P. Company’s rubberised lens.
- Nothing has been confirmed by Puma, C.P. Company or the club. Treat the design as a single-source report.
The Manchester City fourth kit leak, explained
Footy Headlines ran the story on 4 September 2026 as an exclusive, reporting that Puma is preparing a Manchester City fourth shirt for 2026-27 made in collaboration with C.P. Company, the Italian outerwear label. A fourth kit is unusual, and where one appears it is normally the slot a collaboration release occupies rather than a standard matchday option. The reported release window is late 2026.
Treat this as single-source. There is no Puma announcement, no club teaser and no product listing behind it, so the sensible reading is that a well-connected kit outlet has seen something early rather than that the shirt is confirmed. We have linked the original report below. Where fourth kits are concerned, the design detail in early reports tends to hold up better than the timing does.
The division of labour is straightforward: Puma manufactures, C.P. Company supplies the design language. A playing shirt carrying that language, rather than a jacket, would be the more interesting step.
Design breakdown
The reported base is army green, a military olive, with vibrant orange used for the Puma wordmark and the main sponsor. Black and white handle the smaller detailing. That is a palette pulled straight from C.P. Company’s outerwear rather than from anything in City’s own history, which is part of the point of a collaboration shirt.
The most distinctive claim concerns the fabric. Rather than a printed graphic, the shirt is said to carry subtle, irregular tonal shading meant to imitate C.P. Company’s garment-dyeing process, where a finished piece is dyed whole and comes out slightly uneven. We would expect that shading to be the hardest element to hold at replica price, and the one most likely to be softened between a sample and a retail run. Across the shoulders and sleeves the report describes white scratch-like lines.
Then there is the crest. Instead of the standard City badge, the left chest is said to carry a co-branded mark styled after the brand’s rubberised lens and watch-viewer hardware: an orange and black club emblem framed by the words C.P. COMPANY and PUMA. If that survives to production it is the element people will actually recognise from across a pub.
How it compares to City’s other 26-27 kits
City’s released 2026-27 range is comparatively restrained, which makes an olive and orange fourth shirt the outlier by some distance. We reported the sky fade home shirt and the black and gold away kit with the worker bee motif when each leaked earlier in the cycle, and the descriptions below follow those reports.
| Kit | Base colour | Key detail | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home 26-27 | Sky blue | Tonal fade | Released |
| Away 26-27 | Black and gold | Worker bee motif | Released |
| Fourth 26-27 | Army green | C.P. Company lens crest | Reported only |
One practical consequence of that gap: replica versions of a collaboration shirt follow the retail release, they do not precede it.
When can you buy it?
Late 2026 is the reported window, and until Puma confirms it there is no release date to plan around. Anything on sale today claiming to be the C.P. Company fourth shirt is not that shirt.
The kits that do exist are in stock now. The Manchester City 2026/27 third jersey is $37.99, the 2026/27 away shirt in player version is $44.99, and there is a kids’ third kit at $34.99. The full Manchester City jersey range covers home, away, third, long sleeve and training.
