Manchester City have unveiled their new third kit for this season, as they take inspiration from a famous Wembley win.
The striking green shirt pays homage to City's comeback victory against Gillingham, back in the 1999-00 season, which saw them score two injury time goals and seal a 3-1 victory in the penalty shootout.
Manufacturers, Nike, described the kit as: 'A visually powerful football apparel designed with enhanced performance, on-pitch style and the culture of the club in mind.
Manuel Pellegrini's side have made a blistering start to the Premier League season, winning five out of five and playing some sensational football.
But their Champions League campaign went the other way, after throwing away a one-goal lead at home to Juventus.
Goals from Mario Mandzukic and Alvaro Morata sealed victory for the Serie A outfit, much to the disappointment of City, who controlled the game for long periods.
Maybe this neon kit can be the good luck charm City need to put an end to their recent European hoodoo.
