Athens Kallithea, they're doing things differently, you know? They're not just about the football, they're about the whole vibe, the whole aesthetic. And this new third kit, this is a statement.
Kappa, they've been working with them, and Bureau Borsche, these Munich designers, have come together to create something special. It's black, yeah, but not just any black. It's like a black that's got depth, you know? It's got this subtle shimmer, like it's holding secrets. The logo, the Kappa logo, even the ΕΜΣΤ wordmark, they're all in this reflective material, like they're glowing from within.
And the collar, oh, the collar. It's classic, but with this textured trim, like it's been hand-stitched by some artisan in a hidden workshop. It's all about the details, innit?
Now, they didn't just slap this kit on a model and call it a day. No, they went all out. They got Yiorgos Mavropoulos, this Athenian photographer, known for his black-and-white shots that are like poetry in motion. He captured this model, Theopisti Pourliotopoulou, in this old textile factory turned hotel, Mona Athens. It's in Psyrri, this bohemian neighbourhood, full of life and energy. The whole thing is just... chef's kiss.
This isn't just a football shirt, it's a piece of art. It's a statement. It's saying, "We're not just here to play the game, we're here to change the game." And you know what? I'm here for it.
