Manchester City fans have been divided over the club’s new 2024/2025 kit, featuring a font designed in collaboration with longtime City supporter Noel Gallagher.
The new font is a custom typeface based on Gallagher’s handwriting, which will be used for player names and numbers on the team’s kits. The former Oasis man wrote out the names of every member of the squad alongside each number. It also features the local 0161 area code as part of its detailing.
The kit will be worn by the Men’s First Team in every Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup match in the 2024-25 campaign, but not Premier League matches which require kit to be worn with a standardised font.
Some of the fans aren’t happy with the look of the kit, with certain social media users suggesting it looks as bad as Comic Sans.
“I think my 9 year old daughter uses this font on her computer,” one fan joked. “Gimmick shit for a gimmick team,” another complained.
“I love a Noel Gallagher song but what the fuck does he know about typography,” a third wrote.
Although Gallagher has been vocal about his support for the team for years now and has a rich history with them, he did make headlines earlier this year after he was spotted refusing to do the Poznan in a sea of celebrating Man City fans.
It came as he attended the Man City vs Fulham game, which saw his beloved team win 4-0 and move them closer to the top of the Premier League table. However, unlike the huge swathe of Man City fans seen surrounding him in the footage, Gallagher refused to join in doing the move (where fans link arms, turn away from the pitch and begin bouncing).
After being called out by his brother and former Oasis bandmate Liam for his refusal to join in, Noel later shared a statement explaining that he didn’t take part as he was “still feeling the effects of a rather spectacular night out”.
In other news, Gallagher recently admitted that he’s still trying to “live up” to the success of Oasis‘ first two albums.
In a new interview with The Sunday Times‘ Culture magazine, Gallagher spoke about how doesn’t believe either himself or Liam Gallagher‘s solo material have matched the band’s 1994 debut ‘Definitely Maybe’ and 1995 follow-up ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?.
“We went directly from the last night of the ‘Definitely Maybe’ tour to record ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?’, and then spent the following 29 years – and counting – trying to live up to both albums,” he said.
