MANILA, PHILIPPINES – adidas on July 21 revealed the third kits for FC Bayern Munich,
Real Madrid CF, Manchester United, Juventus, AC Milan & Flamengo for the
2017/18 season, all designed by fans. The new designs were designed and produced
using the adidas Football Creator Studio platform, channelling and celebrating the
creativity of football fans all over the world.
The Creator Studio platform allowed fans the
opportunity to design the third kits for the above six clubs – the ultimate
expression of fan creativity. All submitted kits were voted on by fans in a
‘battlemode’ that saw the most popular kits shortlisted to a top 100. The
winners for each club were then chosen by an expert panel of some of the clubs
most iconic players. The selected kits – which will be worn on-pitch during the
2017/18 season – are:
FC Bayern
The kit represents a modern inversion on
classic elements of FC Bayern kit design. The white jersey features thin red
stripes down the front of the shirt, fading out as they reach the bottom. Pure
white sleeves give it a clean and totally unique look for a FC Bayern shirt,
while still channelling classic colours and design from the club’s history.
Real Madrid CF
The new third kit brings a truly unique and
creative look to this iconic team. The winning design features a predominantly teal
shirt with black stripes on the shoulder and white branding. The design takes
inspiration from modern digital design, with a square graphic pattern in two
corners breaking up the front of the shirt and representing the disruptive
nature of the reigning European Champions.
Manchester United
The United third kit represents the powerful
bond between the team and its fans. The light grey shirt is designed with a
graphic showing the silhouette of the famous ‘Holy Trinity’ statue outside of
the club’s Old Trafford stadium. The statue of club icons Sir Bobby Charlton,
George Best and Denis Law represents a golden era in the club’s history and it
is this unique history that was the inspiration for the new third kit.
Juventus
The Juventus kit combines the past and the
future in a way perfectly suited to an iconic club that is constantly
re-inventing itself on and off the pitch. The shirt channels the past thanks to
a military green colour and the inclusion of the famous Juventus black and
white stripes across the chest. The shirt brings the club right up to date
though, thanks to the inclusion of the club’s sleek new logo – part of its new ‘Black
and White and More’ brand identity.
The Manchester United third kit will be
available at Bootcamp, adidas Trinoma, and adidas Greenbelt on the 28th
of July. It will retail at P3495.
