Real Madrid's Casemiro Wears Real Madrid Kit Without Three Stripes
If you watched yesterday's Madrid derby between Atletico and Real, you might have noticed something strange about the shirt worn by Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro.
Casemiro Wears Real Madrid Shirt Without Adidas Three Stripes On Sides In First Half
Casemiro's shirt did not feature the pink Three Stripes on the sides. This became first visible when the Brazilian got rid of his anthem jacket ahead of kick-off as well as during further scenes in the first half of the match. All other parts of the kit were correct.
For the second half, Casemiro switched his shirt for a correct one featuring the Three Stripes on the sides.
The reason for Casemiro's shirt to feature no Three Stripes is very likely simple - they probably just forgot to add the plastic Three Stripes in the factory.
Have you ever seen an Adidas shirt missing the Three Stripes, and that even worn by a player? Comment below.
