New Manchester City Jersey Leaked for 2012/13 Season

After clinching the English Premier League for the first time in 44 years over their most bitter rivals, it's safe to stay that Manchester City had a fairly successful year last season.

But as a far as success goes, their new jersey really isn't anything to write home about.

In fact, it looks just plain old boring.

An Australian sports shop accidentally released the home jersey for next season—though how you accidentally release a jersey, I'll never know.

Manchester City are reportedly investigating in to how their top secret jersey became available for sale on the other side of the planet and are no doubt furious at its early release, according to Off the Post.

Anyway, back to the jersey itself, which you can see full screen here.

As you can see, it features black detailing on all the logos, writing and collar. The typical sky blue has remained in what seems to be a rather conservative jersey design.

It simply doesn't do it for me at all—it's not eye-catching or well designed, and looks more like a rugby jersey than a football strip. It really isn't anything to write home about.

So I guess I'll stop right here then. Don't even bother to let me know when the away jersey comes out.

Officially or not.

What do you think of the new Manchester City jersey?
