Why are Man City wearing white? Special Champions League kit against Inter explained

Manchester City will wear a special all-white kit for their upcoming Champions League clash against Inter Milan.

The unique strip has been designed to mark the club's 125th anniversary and will be worn for the first time in the match at the San Siro on Wednesday, October 19.

The kit is predominantly white, with a subtle blue and black trim to reflect the club's traditional colours. It also features a special anniversary crest, which incorporates the club's founding year of 1894.

Manchester City have a long history of wearing white kits, dating back to the early days of the club. In fact, they wore white shirts and shorts in their first ever competitive match, a 2-0 victory over Stalybridge Rovers in 1880.

However, the club has not worn a predominantly white kit in recent years, with their home strip typically being sky blue and their away kit being a darker shade of blue. The decision to wear white against Inter Milan is therefore a significant one.

The club has not officially confirmed why they have chosen to wear white against Inter Milan, but it is likely that the decision was made to mark the club's 125th anniversary. White is often associated with purity and innocence, and it may be that the club is hoping to start their Champions League campaign with a clean slate.

Whatever the reason, the decision to wear white is sure to generate a lot of interest. It will be interesting to see how the players perform in the new kit and whether it can help them to secure a positive result against Inter Milan.
