WWE & Manchester City FC launch new merchandise collaboration

WWE has entered into a merchandise collaboration with one of the world’s top soccer teams.

On Thursday, WWE and Manchester City Football Club launched a merchandise collection featuring six T-shirts as well as a new jersey that includes the WWE logo. The jerseys will be worn on Manchester City’s upcoming preseason tour of the United States.

The T-shirt designs are inspired by catchphrases of WWE stars Steve Austin, CM Punk, Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns, and John Cena. One of the shirts says “Aguero 93:20,” referencing when Sergio Aguero scored a last-second goal on the final day of the 2012 season to win the Premier League title.

The shirts are available to purchase through WWE Shop, Man City’s website, and Fanatics. They will also be sold at the new pop-up CityStore in New York City.

“To celebrate the launch ahead of SmackDown at Madison Square Garden this Friday, WWE Women’s Champion Bayley and Baron Corbin will visit the CityStore on 6th Avenue in New York City Friday from 10 to 11 a.m. for an exclusive meet-and-greet,” WWE wrote. “The Premier League trophy will also be in store Friday and throughout the weekend.”

Manchester City have won the Premier League four years in a row.

“We are excited to announce the launch of our exclusive retail collaboration with WWE today,” said Serena Gosling, Director of Integrated Fan Experience and Retail & Licensing at Manchester City. “As a club, we’re always exploring new ways to enhance our retail offering for our fans across the globe and collaborations like this with WWE are part of that ongoing strategy.”

WWE recently announced its first-ever licensing deal with the NHL and also has deals with the NFL and MLB.
