Is this what the Real Madrid 2017-18 kit will look like? Twitter user Jack Henderson took what he knows about the kit for next season and wondered what the reality will be.
Real Madrid 2017-18 Kit Leak?
This tweet is how Jack imagines the shirt will look
@hendocfc This is based off information I received for the actual 17/18 Real Madrid kit

Straight down to basics, it’s all-white so that bits right.
The shirt back, shorts and socks are plain white; another few boxes ticked.
Adidas logo? Check. Real Madrid crest? Check. Three Stripes? Triple check.
It’s finished with an angular print design; whether that will be toned down or faded, or highly visible is another matter.
With heritage to protect, it’s a controversial feature. Real’s home kit is iconic and it’s questionable whether Adidas will damage that unless they are to lose the contract? Rumours would certainly surface if this design saw light of day in much the same way the appalling Chelsea kit for this season precipitated the west London club’s defection to Nike.
Good luck to Adidas in selling this design. I wonder how long it would take the lynch mob to get from Madrid to the company’s headquarters in Herzogenaurach…?
