The new shirts will feature the logo as the city goes for top spot

Milton Keynes’ bid to become the UK’s City of Culture 2029 will feature on the front of MK Dons’ shirts for the first nine games of this season.

The club currently have no front-of-shirt sponsor heading into the 2026/27 season, and have blank home and away kits.

With Milton Keynes Council launching a bid to be come the City of Culture - backed by the Citizen - Dons have thrown their weight behind the cause too and will sport the logo on the front for games in August and September, starting with Saturday’s Carabao Cup game against Norwich City.

Dons CEO Neil Hart said: “On behalf of our Chairman Fahad Al-Ghanim and Board of Directors, we are delighted to place our whole-hearted support behind this exciting bid to become the UK’s City of Culture 2029.

“We know this is a city with so much to offer - it is brimming with innovation, creativity and culture. We are proud to lend our voices to these impressive efforts to rightly place Milton Keynes on a national and global stage.

“We hope our players donning the logo on their shirts throughout August and September will help to raise awareness of the city’s campaign and, in turn, garner further support for this incredible opportunity for everyone in Milton Keynes.”

Leader of Milton Keynes City Council, Councillor Jane Carr added: "We're grateful to MK Dons for backing the City of Culture 2029 campaign in such a visible way.

“This is a city with big ambitions, and we're just getting started in showcasing the creativity, innovation and cultural energy that make Milton Keynes unique.

“We hope fans across the city will get behind the bid and help us tell our story on a national stage.”
