"There are raindrops depicted on Manchester City's third kit, with a deliberate nod to the often unsettled weather. Seeing the strip, what catches the eye first, though, is the fluorescent, neon green socks. You cannot fail to notice them, and that is now also true of Manchester City in this season's Women's Super League title race; a team that quietly went under the radar initially, scarcely being spoken about as contenders, are now unmissable"
"They spent well over an hour being frustrated by a Leicester side who were content to keep 11 players behind the ball with a deep, well-organised back five, but this is the sort of game, on a wet lunchtime in the East Midlands, when teams who go on to win titles manage to find a way through. Eventually, Manchester City did so, and then some, with two goals"
Manchester City wear a third kit featuring raindrops and fluorescent neon green socks that mirror their rise in the Women's Super League. The team leads by six points after a ninth consecutive league win, a 3-0 victory over Leicester in which Khadija Shaw scored twice and assisted. Leicester frustrated City for over an hour with 11 players behind the ball, but City dominated possession (75.5%) and outshot them 30 to two. The club has won nine of its opening 10 games for the first time, increasing belief that a 2026 WSL title is attainable. City have produced 130 crosses from open play, the most in the league, driven by wide players including Lauren Hemp and Aoba Fujino.
