Real Madrid Shows No Respect to Colors
Real Madrid took the chance to promote its brand-new Yamamoto fourth kit today, but it was not pleasant to traditionalists.
Real Madrid Wears Purple Yamamoto Fourth Kit at Home, While Athletic Wears "Madrid's" All-White Colors
Instead of playing in the classic white, Madrid chose to wear the fourth kit to promote its release. Designed by Japanese designer Yōji Yamamoto, it has a purple-and-white color scheme. The purple is rooted down in the club's history, just not in home matches.
What made the matchup really odd is that Athletic Bilbao wore its all-white away kit, which is normally synonymous with Madrid.
in 2022, Madrid lost 4-0 wearing the black Yamamoto kit at home vs Barcelona
It seems possible that Real Madrid will also wear the purple Yamamoto kit vs Barcelona on 21 April 2024 in the Santiago Bernabeu. However, in 2022, Madrid lost 4-0 wearing the black Yamamoto kit at home vs Barcelona.
The Y-3 logo on the shorts was too big for La Liga equipment rules
Back in the Athletic Bilbao vs Madrid match at Bilbao's San Mamés, both teams wore their traditional home colors.
Meanwhile, we also spotted that Madrid had to cover the original Y-3 logo on the shorts, as it was too big for La Liga kit regulations.
