What makes a shirt worth owning? A player worth backing, a design worth wearing, and a story worth retelling. The Manchester City 1988 shirt with Toure Yaya (No. 42) printed on the back checks all three.
The Design
Football design is a language, and this shirt speaks it fluently. The 1988 Manchester City colorway, the era-correct typography on the back, the clean front — it is the kind of kit that looks considered from every angle.

Fit & Fabric
Player version or fan version? This is the fan version — the smart choice for supporters who plan to actually wear their shirt. The design is identical to the pitch template; the fit is simply friendlier for everyday use.
Frequently Asked Questions
+Is the crest embroidered or printed
The crest is applied in the style of the season's design — modern shirts typically use heat-bonded crests, retro reproductions often recreate the era's sewn-on look. Either way, the finish matches the design it celebrates and is built to survive regular cold washing
+Is this shirt a good gift for a Manchester City fan
It is about as safe as football gifting gets — a Toure Yaya shirt in the fan's size with their club's colors. Add custom name and number printing for kids and you have the gift they talk about for months. Birthdays, holidays, and match-day surprises: this one rarely misses
+How do I pick the right size when buying as a gift
Measure a shirt they already love and compare to the chart — that is the reliable path. Or simply order their standard tee size; exchanges are free within 30 days if the fit is off
+What makes a better gift — home or away shirt
Home shirts are the iconic choice — the colors every neutral recognizes. Away shirts are the connoisseur's pick, marking specific seasons and famous away wins. If unsure, home is the safe classic; if the fan already owns the home version, the away shirt completes the set
+How do I order this Manchester City shirt
Choose your size from the selector, add the shirt to cart, and checkout with your preferred payment method. If you want custom name and number printing, select that option before adding. The whole process takes under two minutes
+Will this shirt be restocked if my size sells out
Popular sizes and classic designs are restocked regularly, especially retro lines. If your size shows as unavailable, use the contact option — our team can often tell you the restock date before it is publicly listed, and fans on the early list rarely miss out twice
+Which player and number is printed on this shirt
This shirt carries Toure Yaya with the number 42 — the name and digits Toure Yaya wore for Manchester City that season. The lettering style matches the season's typography, so the back looks exactly as it did on the pitch
Match day is coming. Choose your size, personalize the back with Toure Yaya's name if you like, and checkout takes under two minutes. 30-day exchanges and a support team that actually replies keep the whole thing risk-free.
