Hey, Rossoneri! AC Milan just pulled off a move so slick, it'd make even Zlatan blush. Forget those boring, predictable kit reveals, because Milan decided to drop their new away shirt in the most unexpected way possible – right there on the pitch during their friendly against Manchester City at Yankee Stadium!
Picture this: the first half is underway, both teams are giving it their all, and then, BAM! The second half kicks off, and Milan emerges in a brand new white away kit. Talk about a surprise! And get this, City even switched into their own fresh third kit, also designed by PUMA. It was like a double dose of football fashion, and let me tell you, it was a sight to behold.
Now, let's talk about this new away kit. It's a classic white, but with a twist. A red-and-black polo collar adds a touch of that iconic Milanese flair, and the crest is kept monochromatic, giving it a sleek and sophisticated look. But the real showstopper is the subtle tonal pinstripe pattern running throughout the shirt. It's a detail that elevates the whole design, adding a layer of texture and visual interest.
Maikel Oettle, AC Milan's Chief Commercial Officer, summed it up perfectly when he said, "As we unveil our new Away kit for the 2024/25 season in such an innovative manner, showcasing it first on the pitch at Yankee Stadium, we continue to push the boundaries of how we connect with our fans and communities. This kit not only represents the elegance and innovation that define our Club, but also serves as a testament to our ongoing commitment to our fans and community. Our partnership with PUMA allows us to honour our rich legacy while actively giving back to the community through initiatives like the ‘City and Milan for Change’ project, reinforcing the values that define our Club."
He's right, this wasn't just a kit reveal; it was a statement. Milan is showing the world that they're not afraid to break the mold and do things differently. They're connecting with their fans in a new and exciting way, and that's something to celebrate.
And speaking of celebrating, let's talk about the technology behind this kit. The Authentic jersey, worn by the players, is made with PUMA's ULTRAWEAVE fabric, which is designed to reduce weight and friction. This means the players can move freely and perform at their best. The Replica jersey, on the other hand, offers the same stylish design with a more relaxed fit, perfect for everyday wear.
But here's the best part: both versions incorporate PUMA's dryCELL sweat-wicking technology, so you'll stay dry and comfortable no matter how intense the game gets.
And if you're looking for a kit that's good for the planet, look no further. The Replica jerseys are made using PUMA's RE:FIBRE initiative, which utilizes recycled textile waste to create new materials. This means you can look good and feel good about your purchase.
Marco Mueller, PUMA's Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, said it best: "This Away Kit is a testament to AC Milan’s enduring legacy and the sophistication that the Club embodies. We wanted to create a jersey that not only pays tribute the rich history of AC Milan and their origins, but also incorporates cutting-edge performance technology. We are proud to support AC Milan’s journey with a kit that combines elegance with innovation."
This kit is a beautiful blend of tradition and innovation, and it's sure to be a fan favorite.
