Since adopting the Manchester City name in 1894, the Sky Blues have anchored their visual identity around the golden Manchester ship, the three diagonal rivers of the city, and the red Lancashire rose. The Manchester City Football Club 2026 Advent Calendar brings that East Manchester matchday heritage into winter living spaces across 24 perforated December countdown compartments. Instead of disposable paper inserts, each daily door opens to reveal a freestanding 3D molded miniature figurine mounted on a circular matte-black pedestal with a printed front nameplate.
“1894 — Etihad Stadium — City Till I Die.”
Etihad Stadium Winter Artwork and Perforated Rigid Paperboard Box
The upright rigid paperboard collector box transitions from a deep midnight-navy winter sky scattered with white snowflakes into a frosty sky-blue horizon framed by snow-laden pines. Centered at the top is the circular Manchester City 1894 badge, positioned above bold two-tone Manchester City Advent Calendar lettering. Across the lower facade rises an illuminated rendering of the Etihad Stadium, complete with its signature cable-stayed roof masts, twin cylindrical entrance towers bearing club roundels, and a glowing central banner.

24-Piece Sky Blues Figurine Lineup and Kit Breakdown
- 20 Sky-Blue Outfield Players: Stylized 3D chibi-proportioned footballers dressed in Manchester City’s sky-blue home shirt with white collar trim, chest sponsor lettering, white shorts, and dark navy socks with sky-blue turnovers. Printed pedestal nameplates identify squad stars and emerging talents including Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Ruben Dias, Mateo Kovacic, Jeremy Doku, Matheus Nunes, Rico Lewis, Josko Gvardiol, Nico O’Reilly, Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Marc Guehi, Vitor Reis, Claudio Echeverri, and Abdukodir Khusanov.
- 3 Goalkeeper Figurines in Green and Orange Kits: Two shot-stoppers molded in emerald-green goalkeeper shirts, shorts, and gloves alongside one keeper in an all-orange kit, each standing on a labeled black circular base.
- 1 Sideline Manager Figurine: A touchline coaching figure sculpted in a dark navy zip-up track jacket and matching trousers bearing the club badge on the chest.
Tabletop Stability and Holiday Display Longevity
Because the rigid paperboard housing stands upright on its own, it fits neatly onto a fireplace mantel, bookshelf, or desk beside winter greenery. As each December door is opened, the flat circular pedestals keep the 24 miniature figures balanced in formation on wooden tables or tiered display risers long after Christmas morning.
For multi-sport households that also follow American pro basketball in sky-blue and navy team colors, you can pair this Etihad countdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder advent calendar under the tree.
