Manchester City and C.P. Company, two powerhouses in their respective spheres, have joined forces in a multi-year partnership that transcends the boundaries of fashion and football. This unique collaboration celebrates a shared spirit between the industrial city of Manchester and the Italian fashion brand, united by a deep connection to music, heritage, and a relentless drive for innovation.
Despite the geographical distance separating Manchester and Bologna, both cities pulsate with a similar energy. Their rich industrial past and dedication to music have fostered a unique identity, acting as a breeding ground for dreams and aspirations across generations. This partnership between C.P. Company and Manchester City embodies this shared spirit, looking back at their histories while simultaneously embracing the future. It’s a fusion of tradition, subculture, and unwavering passion.
As the official Style Fashionwear Partner of Manchester City’s men’s first team, C.P. Company will design a bespoke clothing line. This exclusive collection will be worn by players, coaching staff, and management during travel for UEFA Champions League matches and other key fixtures. The centerpiece of this collection is sure to be the iconic C.P. Company Goggle Jacket, reimagined in a special silhouette with co-branded lenses and Manchester City’s logo proudly displayed. All garments will be crafted in the signature colors of both entities: C.P. Company’s deep navy blue and Manchester City’s light blue, creating a visually striking and unified aesthetic.
C.P. Company has also pledged its support to City in the Community’s Healthy Goals program, a vital initiative that will see the renovation of three local community and school pitches. This commitment to social responsibility reflects the shared values of both organizations.
“We’re thrilled to announce this new partnership with C.P. Company,” said Kaitlyn Beale, Vice President of Global Partnership Sales at City Football Group. “Both Manchester City and C.P. Company are significant players in football culture, not just in the UK but globally. We share a passionate fanbase and a dedication to innovation, making this a perfect fit.”
Lorenzo Osti, President of C.P. Company, echoed this sentiment, stating, “This partnership represents an exciting journey, a bridge between Bologna and Manchester, where two visions inspired by the same values come together in perfect harmony. The C.P. Company Goggle Jacket has become a symbol for football fans, a testament to the enduring connection between sport and one’s roots.“
