These spirals are also said to mirror the large blue “turrets” that stand outside the Etihad Stadium — prominent architectural features that also inspired the repeating graphic found on City’s 2023-24 home jersey. The names and numbers on the reverse of the shirt, modelled by City stars including Jessica Park and Laia Aleixandri, are also displayed using a custom zodiac-inspired typeface that includes a stylised “dragon’s tail” flourish.
The kit forms part of a small Year of the Dragon capsule available that also includes a matching track top. The jacket, worn here by City star Jack Grealish, has a large club emblem with the dragon swirling through on the back..
That same symbol also appears on the t-shirt that completes the collection, as worn here by Mateo Kovacic.
