As the club took the limelight with the official launch of the 2016/17 home and away kits, Real Madrid found that keeping a lid on everything is almost impossible. Images of their third kit leaked onto the web and threatened to steal the day’s thunder.
Whereas the home and away kits are straightforward designs, working on the maxim that simple is beautiful, this kit is one which forges a fashion direction. The pattern on the sleeves references the fountain in the centre of the Plaza de Cebiles, the traditional celebration ground of the club’s supporters when trophies are won.
Real Madrid 2016/17 Third Strip
The below are the leaked images of the 2016/17 Real Madrid third kit.
The base colour of the shirt is black. with the subsidiary colour of purple on the sleeves and trim.
The round neck collar and cuffs are both black, as is the front and back of the body of the shirt. Adidas has placed its trademark Three Stripes down either side of the body in light purple.
But it’s the sleeves which are the eyecatching feature of the shirt. At first the design is simply rectangles and circles but reflects the Plaza de Cebiles, the favoured place for Madrileño footballing celebrations.
Black shorts and socks with purple trim will complete the kit. A striking design for the Champions of Europe!
