- Product Announcement: Puma is set to release a retro remake of the 1997-98 Hong Kong national team jersey, bringing back a cult classic.
- Historical Significance: This upcoming release is a tribute to the final chapter of Puma's original partnership with Hong Kong, which concluded in 1998.
- Design Features: The remake faithfully recreates the original look with a red base, classic polo collar, an abstract white and red pattern on the shoulders and sleeves, a retro circular Hong Kong FA crest, a vintage Puma logo, and period-correct front squad numbering.
Puma is set to bring back a cult classic with a retro remake of the 1997-98 Hong Kong national team jersey. The German brand supplied Hong Kong across much of the 1980s and 1990s before parting ways in 1998, making this upcoming release a tribute to the final chapter of their original partnership.
The remake comes out of total surprise. Nike has been Hong Kong's kit maker since 2011, with the Puma deal over for almost 30 years. Puma's remake might also indicate a full return of the brand as Hong Kong's kit maker.
Puma Hong Kong Remake Kit
The Puma Hong Kong 1997-98 remake jersey faithfully recreates the iconic late-90s look, featuring a red base complemented by a classic polo collar. The centerpiece of the design is the dynamic abstract pattern running across the shoulders and sleeves in white and red, accompanied by the retro circular Hong Kong FA crest on the right chest, the vintage Puma logo on the left, and period-correct front squad numbering.
Official details regarding pricing and release availability are expected to be announced in the near future.
