Baresi

In their Serie A season opener against Torino, AC Milan debuted a special patch on their shirts to honour club legend Franco Baresi, who passed away in July at the age of 66.

The commemorative patch features the message “6 per sempre” (“No. 6 forever”), referencing Baresi's iconic shirt number, which was permanently retired by the Rossoneri. Each character was selected from thousands of handwritten messages left by supporters following his passing.

Worn on the left sleeve, the patch will feature on the shirts of Milan's men's team, women's team and youth teams throughout the 2026/27 season. A beautiful and deeply personal tribute to one of the greatest figures in the club's history.
