10th November 2021 Manchester City release limited-edition Blossoms shirts exclusively in new flagship store
Daisy Jackson
Manchester City have released a limited run of special Blossoms shirts, which will be available exclusively at the new flagship City Store.
Etihad Airways has donated the front-of-shirt space for the special drop, which celebrates the Stockport band’s lifelong support of Man City and will fundraise for City in the Community’s 40th anniversary.
The Manchester City x Blossoms collab features the band’s logo across the chest of the 2024/25 season’s away shirt – one of the Club’s most popular designs in recent years.
Profits from sales of the shirts will be donated to CITC to support its 40th anniversary fundraising, which empower healthier lives with city youth through football.
Blossoms have just secured their fifth UK number one album with their latest release, ‘Songs From The Wedding Cake’, and will soon be heading on an arena tour that includes two massive shows at the Co-op Live.

As for that new City store – it’s a whopping 21,000 sq ft, three-floor space at Medlock Square, right beside the Etihad Stadium, and is the biggest shop in the club’s history.
The new flagship has opened today in collaboration with PUMA and Stichd, and features a new, interactive ‘Make It Yours’ customisation station as well as an expanded range of Manchester City products.

Legally Blonde the Musical at Opera House, Manchester – the campest of revamps
Amy Williams
If you’re thinking about going seeing Legally Blonde at The Opera House this November, let us tell you why you absolutely should.
The iconic West End musical, based on the award-winning film starring Reese Witherspoon, is back on tour, and in Manchester for the next two weeks.
If you haven’t seen it before then let us give you an idea of what it’s about – the story follows Elle Woods, a girl from Malibu, who is madly in love with her high school sweetheart.
The problem is he wants something more ‘serious’ than her, which is when she decides she’ll follow him to Harvard and become a law student, to prove she’s more than just the ‘dumb blonde’ he thinks she is.
On stage, Legally Blonde’s dialogue is almost entirely through song, so you expect there’ll be good voices amongst the cast – and they really do live up to expectations.
West End darling Amber Davies stars as Elle Woods, turning her 2018 Love Island win into an illustrious musical career that has seen her star in shows like Pretty Woman, The Great Gatsby, and 9 to 5. She absolutely blew us away.
Also putting on an incredible show is Karen Mavundukure as well, who plays Paulette, a hairdresser who becomes friends with Elle.
And some of the biggest ‘awws’ of the night of course went to the two wonderful dogs of the show, Sprout and Rocco.
Legally Blonde will make you laugh, have you sat in awe at the voices and stage set, and also really pull you into the story in hope that Elle gets what she REALLY wants in the end…
Legally Blonde is at Opera House Manchester until Saturday 14 November, make sure to grab tickets HERE before it’s too late.
