As with the new home shirt, the away version features the brand new club crest which has been re-mastered by the Umbro team. Explaining the process, Blanch said:
Every stitch on the crest has been specifically drawn. From the beginning, we knew we wanted to create the best looking City crest ever. The aim was to make the crest look so technically crafted, using the most technical machines available to us but combine that with the sensibility that is associated with craftsmanship.
What we wanted to move away from was making the crest too flat; we needed to breathe life back into the crest and make it really stand out from the shirt.
With the crest, we have embedded it onto the shirt. Each stitch has been carefully considered.
