Benfica 17-18 Home Kit
Benfica's new 2017-18 jersey draws inspiration from the kits worn during the Eusebio era.
The Benfica 2017-18 home shirt is inspired by the kits worn during the Eusebio era, when the club won 11 domestic titles. Therefore, it features a classic white collar and a clean front without any graphic design.
The Adidas 3 Stripes, placed on the shoulders of the Benfica 17-18 kit blend in nicely with the rest of the design.
In January 2014, Benfica's players all wore the name of Eusebio rather than their own on the back of their shirts and synchronized placards produced a huge image in the stands of Eusebio to pay homage to the 'Black Panther', who died on January 5 2014 aged 71. A special inscription above the hem on the right honors Eusebio, who would be 75 today.
The shorts of the new Benfica home kit are white and red, while the socks will combine two different shades of red.
The Benfica 2017-18 home kit was launched on June 30, 2017.

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
