Ready For The Champions League Play-Off Against Celtic - Adidas Astana 2017 Home Kit Released
Aug 4, 2017, by Chris
Kazakhstan Premier League champions FC Astana last month revealed their new home kit for the 2017 season. Adidas again makes the new FC Astana 2017 jersey, which is based on a Adidas mi Team jersey.
FC Astana 2017 Home Kit
This is the new Astana 2017 home shirt.
Featuring the club's traditional yellow and light blue colors, the new FC Astana 17-18 home kit comes with a unique stylized image of the Shanyrak on the front. The Shanyrak is a traditional emblem of the Kazakh culture.
Kaisar Bekenov, executive director of Astana, said: "Astana is the only club in the country that represents Kazakhstan in the UEFA Champions League, so we would like that even the kit of the team would emphasize that we will present our country on the international arena. Shanyrak is an unusual graphic element that has become symbolic for Kazakhstan. There is a great desire that, at one glance at our outfit, lovers of football of both our country and Europe know that there is a club from Kazakhstan on the field."
"We waited a long time for permission from UEFA in order that Astana could defend Kazakhstan's honor in the Champions League in this kit. Finally, all the approvals have been passed, and we are ready to play in the new exclusive outfit. In a couple of weeks we will hold an official presentation of the kit. Moreover, in addition to men, women's and children's lines will be presented"
Astana's new 2017 away kit will be light blue and grey with the same design as the home kit, while the third jersey will be white with a blue geometrical pattern in blue. There are no pictures of the away and third kits yet.

What If Adidas Made Barcelona Kits?
Kit collector and insider @memorabilia1899 has shared an intriguing concept imagining how FC Barcelona would look if Adidas were the club's technical sponsor. Despite Barcelona having a long-term partnership with Nike extended through 2038, the fantasy of the German sportswear giant designing the Blaugrana's kits continues to spark conversation among football shirt enthusiasts.
The Adidas Barcelona concept leans heavily into retro aesthetics, combining classic vertical red and blue stripes with the iconic Trefoil logo on the chest. A dark blue polo collar, styled with 'BARÇA 1899' detailing, is paired with gold-orange accents seen across the Three Stripes on the shoulders and the centered Spotify sponsor logo. The full look is completed by navy blue shorts and matching socks.
Would you like to see Adidas manufacture Barcelona kits in the future, or does Nike remain the perfect fit for the Catalan giants?
