Noel Gallagher has designed a new clothing range for Manchester City FC inspired by Oasis‘ 1994 debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’.

After designing the new font on the team’s home kit for the 2024/25 season earlier this summer, the club have now shared a video featuring Gallagher in a ‘Definitely City’ range.

Due for release on September 12, the range includes polo shirts, a zip up top and a sky blue shirt, which you can view below. In the short clip, Gallagher says: “I loved City before I loved anything. I was into City before I was into music. I was into City before I knew what music was.”

He also appeared to confirm reports that it will include a design of the third team kit inspired by Oasis’ debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’, which celebrated its 30th anniversary last Friday (August 30).

“‘Definitely Maybe’ it’s never lost its magic to me. I mean it spawned a great football kit so you know its legacy lives on.

Meanwhile, tickets for Oasis’ 2025 reunion tour sold out over the weekend.

The whole process, however, was far from smooth, with millions flocking to try and grab tickets and many – including Louis Tomlinson – being left disappointed after a series of issues arose. For instance, Ticketmaster crashed shortly before tickets were due to go live and a giant queue to contend with, social media users were left wondering if they’d even get their tickets in the first place.

Many fans complained about being kicked out of the queue after being mistaken for bots, while those attempting to purchase accessible tickets reported being unable to get through to the phone lines, despite some fans calling the designated number over 400 times.

Some who did eventually manage to get through the queue were then disappointed to see the cost of remaining tickets had increased due to Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing policy.

Ticketmaster have clarified on their website previously that tickets that are “market-priced” “may increase or decrease at any time, based on demand. This is similar to how airline tickets and hotel rooms are sold.”

The boss behind the ticketing industry also defended the process seen in the recent Oasis reunion tour sale.

Earlier today (September 2), Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy called for a review into “dynamic pricing” and secondary ticket sites following the scramble for Oasis tickets at the weekend.

Speculation has also arisen around which previous Oasis members could be joining Liam and Noel on the road in 2025.

At time of writing, it looks likely that co-founder Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs is reportedly on board, however, previous reports claimed that “no other original Oasis member is expected to join the reunion”, and that “the members of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will step in”. It is not yet known who will be playing the drums on the tour.

Alan White teased online that he might join the band over the weekend, while original Oasis drummer Tony McCarroll already hinted he won’t appear in the reunion tour. He said to MailOnline: “I’m happy for Noel and Liam. Really happy for them…They haven’t reached out yet and to be honest I’m not holding my breath.”

More recently, it was reported that Gem Archer is “looking very likely” to join the line-up.

Set to kick off next summer, the dates will mark the Gallagher brothers’ first performance on stage together in 16 years. Since the announcement, the Britpop icons are also competing with Sabrina Carpenter to secure this week’s UK Number One single.
