Manchester City, a team in the Premier League, announced their new alternate jerseys for the 22–23 season on the gaming website Roblox. After announcing the collaboration on Twitter, the current English champions published the images for their third alternate jerseys on Roblox. This third jersey has spray-painted dark bars across the front and back and is neon yellow in color.  The stripes are based on the Manchester worker bee, a reminder of the city's heritage as an industrial city, while the spray paint pattern is influenced by the street art that can be seen all around the city. https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1554904944662024192?s=20&t=ueCns52LM6LCRR0c86xEuA Players for the Manchester team Kalvin Phillips, Ruben Dias, and Laura Coombs all posed for the shirts in real life. The Roblox lobby was altered for the occasion to match the colors of Manchester City and to imitate Ethiad Stadium. The new jerseys and the traditional home jerseys may both be tried on by players as they roamed the lobby. Additionally, a brand-new event named "Football Rush," sponsored by Puma, was introduced. Roblox football is being played in a five-on-five player tournament on YouTube, where participants can compete for a share of a $14,000 prize fund. Roblox gives players the ability to create video games using pre-built graphics and objects. The users can then open this game to the public or share it with other players. It gives users the option to monetize their games as well, giving ambitious game makers a full, albeit limited, possibility. The current English champions' third uniform, which builds on the striking red-and-black diagonal stripes of their away shirt, is a garish neon yellow color with hazy dark bands going across the body. https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1554912486624792577?s=20&t=J6G0kJWrMEZHHRWbw1NXtw Fizzy Light and Parisian Night are the colors' actual names, according to the producers Puma, who also claim that the worker bee, a well-known representation of Manchester's industrial background, served as inspiration for the striped pattern. The bands' usage of the spray-paint effect is also meant as a tribute to the graffiti artists who produce the street art that can be seen on city walls. Models for the jersey included city celebrities Laura Coombs, Kalvin Phillips, and Ruben Dias. Even while Roblox is currently receiving some favorable news, it still faces certain difficulties. After a user sued the business for the identities of those allegedly copying his content, the developer opposed a DMCA request about piracy charges. After a hacker attempted to sell players' and staff' personal information to the public, Roblox was also the target of an extortion attempt.
