Gallagher, who is a lifelong City fan, linked up with the club to create an electric European kit that will be worn this season.
The strip is inspired by Oasis' debut studio album 'Definitely Maybe', which celebrated its 30th anniversary this year.
The kit, dubbed 'Definitely City', will be worn for select European fixtures this season, starting with City's upcoming Champions League opener against Inter Milan next week.
It forms part of a whole collection of 'Definitely City' apparel.

The collection includes track jackets, bomber jackets, drill tops and a retro jersey, all designed with the same colour palette as the iconic album cover.
And City have leaned in heavily to the 1994 cover art, recreating the covershoot with Kyle Walker, Jess Park, Mateo Kovacic, Ederson and boss Pep Guardiola.
Lifelong City fan and music legend Gallagher, who joined the stars on set, was over the moon with the collaboration.
He said: "I loved City before anything, I was into City before I was into music, I was into City before I knew what music was.

Changes to the Premier League for 2024/25
NOTHING stays the same forever.
And that includes the Premier League, which is making a number of tweaks this season.
Team news will now be released 75 MINUTES before kick-off, 15 minutes earlier than had been the case before.
Things could get crowded on the touchline, with the number of substitutes permitted to warm-up boosted from three players per team to FIVE.
There's also a change to how added time is calculated when a team scores a goal, an update to the 'multiball' system and the introduction of semi-automated offsides - but not straight away.
Go here to read about all the changes to the Premier League for 2024/25.
"Definitely Maybe is what set us on our way, the record lasting as long, you can’t predict that kind of thing. It’s a great working class, Mancunian record – it’s real.
“When approached us at one of the games about designing a kit it took about five seconds to agree to it.

"It’s the same colour palette as the cover of Definitely Maybe: it’s unique but it’s definitely striking, and I think it looks great.
"When you see people representing your Club, it’s important that they look good.
“Definitely Maybe has never lost its magic to me, I just think it’s an amazing snapshot of what we were about.
"With the anniversary, I’ve been listening to it a lot more than I would ever listen to it, it makes me smile – they were great times. It’s spawned a great football kit, it’s legacy lives on.”
The collab comes at the same time as Oasis' long-awaited reunion with brothers Noel and Liam returning to the stage after 15 years to put on a huge tour.
