Black and red was a popular change colour scheme for Manchester City back in the day – and the 1969 effort is a classic.

A centred, round badge and matching collar. It's a design for the ages and it still holds up today.

The Brother sponsor is iconic and the pattern is lovely – what's not to love?
6. Manchester City 1994 away shirt
An anniversary shirt from the mid-90s, you're a massive Citizen if this is your fave. There have been remakes since but nothing beats the Score Draw version.
