Adidas Parley Real Madrid Kit Released
Nov 5, 2016, by Pat
Unveiled by Adidas in a surprise move yesterday and set to be worn in the game against Sporting Gijón at the end of this month, the Adidas Parley Real Madrid kit introduces a clean design that aims to raise awareness for the fight against the pollution of the ocean.
Adidas Parley Real Madrid Kit
This is the special-edition Adidas x Parley Real Madrid home jersey.
Obviously deriving from the iconic cleanness of Real Madrid's all-white home kits, the Adidas Parley Real Madrid kit manages to up this impression by combining a white base with subtly applied light grey logos. Those logos on the Adidas Parley Real Madrid jersey were printed onto the fabric using water-based paint in an environmental friendly process.
An Adidas x Parley label with an integrated NFC chip that allows fans to learn more about the partnership is visible on the hem of the all-white Adidas Real Madrid Parley shirt. Additionally, a back-neck tape with Parley's 'For the oceans' tag is also prominently featured.
The shorts and socks of the Adidas Parley Real Madrid kit are entirely white and don't feature any logos. Unlike the Adidas Parley Real Madrid shirt, which is available to buy at €90, the shorts and socks won't go on sale.
What do you think of Adidas and Parley's effort for the Real Madrid kit? Drop us a line below, and make sure to keep an eye on the unique kit later this month.
Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Debuted
Inter Milan officially debuted their new Nike 26-27 third kit on the pitch during a dramatic 5-3 Serie A comeback victory against Udinese at the San Siro, just hours after its official unveiling.
Taking inspiration from the Nerazzurri's iconic look from the late 1990s, notably referencing the 1997-98 and 1998-99 shirts. the new third kit is built on a stone-grey 'Iron Ore' base featuring a subtle tonal jacquard pattern. The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe. Bright 'Speed Yellow' details are applied to the Swoosh, the two-starred club crest, the Betsson.sport sponsor, and retro-styled 1990s font names and numbers.
