The centre piece of the entrance is just above the display which is a large slick and tastefully designed replica of City's badge in which the emblem, name of the team and outline of the badge are accentuated by bright blue neon glow on the dark blue back drop.
Once inside, City's iconic baby blue is the expected colour scheme of the huge store which has rows and rows of city kits for all ages, water bottles, footballs and much more. The stunning silver and gold Premier League trophy with blue and white tassels is proudly displayed in front of mannequins wearing what will be the club's kit for the next season.
