Women’s Super League side Manchester City will stop wearing white shorts with immediate effect to make players feel “more comfortable” when they are menstruating, accelerating the change which is expected to come next season via their kit provider Puma.

It was revealed earlier this week that the club will retire from white shorts from next season, but the team will now continue to play in burgundy shorts until the end of the current season.

Gareth Taylor’s side wore maroon shorts in Wednesday’s 6-0 League Cup group stage thrashing of Blackburn Rovers. The move follows the clubs including West Bromwich Albion Womenwho switched to their home navy shorts for the same reason, and Stoke City no longer wear white either.

A joint statement from Puma and Manchester City read: “As a result of player feedback and the underlying theme that women want to stop wearing white shorts during their period, we have decided to introduce changes to the products we offer our players. “

The issue of women wearing white shorts has also been debated by the England senior team and their kit manufacturer Nike, with the striker winning the Golden Boot at the Euros. Beth Mead for the Telegraph July: “It’s very nice to have an all-white set, but sometimes it’s not practical when it’s that time of the month. We are dealing with this as best we can.”

Head coach Taylor added in early October: “We’ve always talked about supporting the players as best we can. It (the shorts) is something we definitely have to look at, just to give the players the support at the highest level that we need.”

in tennis, the pressure on Wimbledon is mounting – who has an all-white dress policy – to face the issue, with All England Club critics this summer accusing her of “turning a blind eye” to her period.
