The Manchester City 2007/08 home kit stands out as one of the club’s more unique and stylish designs from the pre-modern Premier League era. Manufactured by French sportswear brand Le Coq Sportif, this kit marked the beginning of a new partnership after the club parted ways with Reebok. The 2007/08 season was also notable because it was managed by Sven-Göran Eriksson, Manchester City's first foreign manager, and included memorable performances by stars like Elano, Micah Richards, Martin Petrov, and Vedran Ćorluka.
The shirt was predominantly sky blue, continuing the club’s traditional home color. However, what made this version stand out was the addition of a bold white vertical stripe running down the left side of the shirt—from the shoulder to the hem. This gave the kit a distinctive asymmetrical look, different from the usual centered or minimal patterns of the time. The collar and sleeve cuffs were also white, designed in a sharp V-neck style that added a classic feel to the modern design.
The kit was sponsored by Thomas Cook, a popular travel and tourism company at the time. The sponsor’s name was placed prominently across the chest in white text, blending nicely with the shirt’s color scheme. On the left chest sat the old Manchester City crest, featuring a golden eagle, a ship symbolizing the city’s trade history, and three stars that gave it a European-style badge design. This crest was in use before the club’s modern rebranding in 2016.
The shorts that accompanied the kit were white, providing a clean contrast to the sky-blue shirt. A subtle sky blue trim on the sides of the shorts maintained the theme and created visual balance across the whole outfit. The socks were also white, with a simple sky blue band near the top, rounding off the look with uniform consistency. Altogether, the kit gave players a sleek, professional appearance while staying true to the club’s roots.
This kit was used during the 2007/08 Premier League season, a time of transition and rebuilding for Manchester City. Though they didn't win trophies that season, the kit is often remembered fondly by fans for its distinct style and the team’s improved performances under Eriksson. Notably, City finished in the top half of the table and achieved a league double over rivals Manchester United for the first time since the 1970s.
In Dream League Soccer 2025 (DLS25), fans can replicate this classic look by following a few guidelines. The shirt should be primarily sky blue with a white vertical stripe along the left side. The collar and sleeve cuffs should also be white, with logos and text in white or black depending on visibility. The shorts should be white with sky blue detailing, and the socks should be white with sky blue at the top. When editing or downloading the kit, make sure to include the Thomas Cook sponsor and the old club crest featuring the eagle. The Le Coq Sportif logo is minimal and typically appears on the sleeves or near the chest area.
Overall, the 2007/08 Manchester City home kit represents a perfect blend of tradition and modern design. It’s stylish yet respectful of the club’s identity. Whether you're a DLS25 kit creator, a football history fan, or just nostalgic about late-2000s football fashion, this kit offers a great template for creating a clean and professional look in-game. With a combination of iconic colors, unique striping, and classy accents, this kit remains a fan favorite and an easy pick for retro-themed DLS25 designs.
