A Glimpse at What Could Have Been - Real Madrid 15-16 Home Kit Prototype Revealed
Aug 27, 2015, by Pat
Thanks to images of a prototype of the Real Madrid 15-16 Home Jersey which surfaced online, we are able to get unique insight on the design process an important football shirt such as the Real Madrid Kit goes through before being officially unveiled.
Real Madrid 15-16 Home Kit Prototype
This is the early version of the classy Real Madrid Home Kit that surfaced online.
Based on the entirely same template and design principles as the actual Real Madrid 2015-16 Home Jersey, the Real Madrid 15-16 Home Shirt Prototype boasts much more gray details, as both the sleeve cuffs and the hem come with contrasting color.
Additionally, Adidas actually planned to use a monochromatic variant of the iconic Real Madrid logo, colored solely in white and gray.
Last but not least, the inside of the shirt is also different from the Real Madrid Shirt that made it into retail. Instead of featuring only the club crest and a 'hala madrid y nada más' inscription, the early version of the Real Madrid 2015-2016 Home Shirt shows two stylized globes on each side of the crest, with the text below simply reading 'siempre real' (always Real).
We think the 'real' Real Madrid 15-16 Home Kit is one of the best ones released this summer and that all of the late changes applied by Adidas contributed to that fake.
But what's your take? Do you prefer the early prototype or the final version of the Real Madrid Home Shirt? Let us know in the comments below.

The upcoming Adidas Bayern München 26-27 Oktoberfest jersey has been spotted hanging on retail racks ahead of its official launch in September.

The energetic design is complemented by off-white Three Stripes on the shoulders, the classic Adidas Trefoil logo, an ornate heritage Bayern Munich crest, and cream sponsor detailing.
Bukayo Saka and Yan Diomande Debut Whiteout New Balance Furon V9 Boots
Arsenal talisman Bukayo Saka and Real Madrid signing Yan Diomande have both taken to the pitch wearing all-white New Balance Furon V9 boots at the start of the 26-27 campaign. Thanks to @volkyfootballboots.v2 for spotting.
As two of the primary headline athletes for New Balance's flagship speed silo, their synchronized switch away from standard on-pitch colorways to a whiteout look points toward an upcoming limited-edition pack or special release from the American brand in the near future.
It’s normal that brands hide their new flagship-shoes with a whiteout colorway until their release takes place officially, so competitors can’t already get an early glimpse into their newest design.
