A Golden Legend: FC Basel’s 24/25 Fourth Kit Honors the Basilisk
Let’s talk legacy, shall we? Not just any legacy, but one spun from the golden threads of myth and stitched into the very fabric of FC Basel’s 24/25 fourth kit. Macron has outdone itself, weaving the tale of Basel’s iconic Basilisk—a creature of legend, half serpent, half cock—into a design that doesn’t just sit on a hanger but tells a story.
This isn’t your average jersey reveal. It’s a masterclass in how art, culture, and sport collide. The Basilisk, that fierce guardian of Basel, lives in every detail of this shirt. Its legend speaks of an egg, golden-hued after 19 days in a serpent’s embrace. That same gold graces the jersey, complemented by deep red and Bordeaux accents symbolizing the creature’s piercing gaze. It’s drama, darling, but make it wearable.
The pièce de résistance? The embossed graphic pattern—a hypnotic dance of vertical stripes and Basilisk motifs—that wraps the wearer in the creature’s lore. A Bordeaux silicone Macron Hero and a monochrome FC Basel badge punctuate the chest, stars shimmering above for the club’s Swiss championship triumphs.
And it’s not just about the kit. FC Basel has turned this unveiling into an adventure for the city’s people. A treasure hunt, four golden footballs hidden across Basel, awaits discovery. Clues? Delivered via social media, of course. It’s a campaign that bridges the past and the present, uniting fans in their love for the club and the city it calls home.
This is more than a jersey. It’s Basel’s history, its mythology, and its footballing pride—all in one. And you can get your hands on it now at macron.com. But don’t stop there; embrace the legend, wear the story, and maybe, just maybe, find yourself part of Basel’s next chapter.
