PHOTO: Manchester City unveils new purple and green kit for cup competitions
The blue half of Manchester isn't so blue anymore.
Manchester City unveiled a new kit Monday, which will serve as the club's away uniform in cup competitions - including the Champions League.
Brace yourselves, it's something.

It's unlikely that the new look will make an appearance in the Premier League, as City's original away kit is dark blue, meaning this purple ensemble will not be required to resolve color clashes that could arise with other teams.
That said, this will be the team's go-to away jersey for Champions League matches and domestic cup competitions, therefore we could see it in action Wednesday when the Citizens visit Bayern Munich.
