Manchester City, the English Premier League (EPL) champions, recently revealed their new third alternative kit for the 2022–23 season in the metaverse on the gaming platform Roblox’s Land of Games. It’s the club’s first-ever metaverse kit launch. Roblox is a website that allows users to create and share their own games.
The jersey has a neon yellow backdrop, more accurately known as “fizzy light,” with three dark, broad stripes, officially called “Paris Night” by the kit’s manufacturer, Puma. Laura Coombs, Kalvin Philips, and Ruben Dias were the three men’s and women’s club stars to wear the kit in public.
Man City’s Metaverse event featured a reskinned Roblox lobby to represent their home stadium, Etihad Stadium. It also allowed users to experiment with the home and away kits.
Gordon Ramsay, the world-renowned, foul-mouthed celebrity, will bring the hit reality cooking show — Hell’s Kitchen experience into the virtual world of The Sandbox.

The incredible new venue will be featured in ITV’s LAND in The Sandbox and will include features and interactive elements designed with Ramsey’s input. As a result, gamers can create dishes, collect recipes, and compete in gastronomy-based challenges within its culinary confines.
