- Manchester City Tartan
The City of Manchester Tartan is a striking design that pays homage to the history and identity of Manchester City Football Club. Founded in 1880 as St. Mark's (West Gorton), the club evolved into Manchester City in 1894, and their signature sky-blue home shirts have earned them the nickname "The Sky Blues." This tartan proudly incorporates the club’s heritage and connection to the city of Manchester.
The design features the prominent sky-blue, representing the club's kit and the spirit of Manchester City. It is paired with dark blue, symbolizing the Manchester Ship Canal, a key element of the city's industrial past. The tartan also includes yellow, representing the three rivers—the Irwell, the Medlock, and the Irk—that flow through Manchester, further connecting the design to the city’s landscape and history.
This unique tartan is worn by Manchester City fans around the world, celebrating their club’s deep ties to Manchester’s heritage, its people, and its achievements.
