Brushing your lenses over the landscape of football can be a highly varied experience, with astonishing talent and passion draped in regional colours. Pretty often, the spotlight beams down on the giants - clubs whose reach embrace beyond the confines of their home turf. But that's not the entire narrative, and one sportswear brand, Admiral, is determined to flip a few pages for attention. Their chosen subject? The Greek Super League's Volos FC.
Taking a break from the old favourites like Olympiakos, Panathinaikos, and AEK Athens - brands beautifully shaped through their various campaigns in European football competitions; Admiral is underscoring the criminally under-illuminated teams. Essentially, those Greek Super League's teams whose vibrant identities remain within the cradle of their home; yet their stories yearn to cross the Greek borders. One of such is Volos FC.
Knitted by the renowned and iconic fabric-maker, Admiral, Volos FC emerges from the coastal city of Thessaly's Volos; a merry dance of vibrant history, industrious harbour, and lingering aroma of hard-working populace. The essence of this heritage is not lost on Volos FC; it thrives in it, and it's this narrative that Admiral seeks to bring to limelight with their newly launched 2024 collection for Volos FC.
Captured against the gritty alluring backdrop of Volos's historical port, each frame of the lookbook tells a story of a brand embracing its roots and reaffirming its identity. In a fitting alliance between Volos FC's maritime roots and Admiral, the brand's tale of the high seas beautifully blends into a 2023/24 home shirt dipped in traditional red and blue stripes. Topped off with a cheeky polo twist, the shirt pays homage to the area's rich maritime history and, for dyed-in-the-wool football fans, that's called speaking in the universal language of football.
Feel the bolder side of the match in the away and third kits, thoughtfully splashed with solid hues of red and blue respectively. Stir in some artistic creativity, and you've got these kits boasting subtle gradient graphics crafted meticulously into the bodies of the shirts, which adds a delightful touch of drama and definition. It walks a fine line, splitting the difference, no more, no less, and it's quite beautiful.
But the story doesn't end there. A walk-out track jacket makes its grand entrance, wearing the bold red hue with pride, exuding a powerful charm that no one can ignore. Brave the elements in this red aflame set and set the pavements on fire. Get your glimpse of this fiery fusion, beautifully captured through the lens of Stars Inc 11. Give in to your desire, let it sweep you along, and follow their adventurous journey.
