Manchester City Training Shirt 2004-05

Before Manchester City became one of the world's richest clubs, the club was known for its unpredictability. In the early 00s, City, under Kevin Keegan, played an offensive and entertaining style of football, and this black Reebok training shirt dates from that very period. The design with geometric lines is one of the most distinctive training designs Reebok produced for the club.

FOOTBALL MEMORIES

In the 2004-05 season, Manchester City was still far from the European powerhouse the club later became. The team had profiles such as Robbie Fowler, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Joey Barton, and David James, while the City of Manchester Stadium was still a relatively new home after the move from Maine Road.

The graphic spiral design makes this training shirt one of the most prominent Reebok models from the period. Instead of a traditional pattern, Reebok created an optical effect that gave the shirt a modern and futuristic expression.

On the back, Manchester City's club crest with the three stars is visible, while the discreet design makes the shirt ideal both as a collector's item and as a casual retro shirt.

For many fans, this period represents the end of "the old City" – the years before the historic change of ownership in 2008 forever altered the club's history.
