Football uniforms have changed since the beginning of the game. In the second half of the 19th century, sportswear consisted of four elements. Athletes wore loose pants tucked into high leggings, wide shirts and a hat. Sometimes a top hat was worn instead of a hat. Today, football players' equipment is practical and functional. It is not only comfortable, but also looks very stylish. Representatives of each club wear their traditional sportswear, decorated with team symbols.
Depending on whether the team will play at home or away, there are two types of equipment: home and away. The new design was demonstrated by Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea and other clubs.
"Manchester United"
In the new 2020-2021 season, uniforms for the legendary English football players were presented by Adidas. The home version is made in red with small black and yellow horizontal strokes. The T-shirt is decorated with the club emblem, which is located at the level of the heart, which is very symbolic. The Chevrolet sponsor badge is featured in the center of the T-shirt. On the left opposite the heart is the Adidas brand sign. The collar has a classic round shape, and the stripes on the shoulders are painted white.
The shorts are white with three longitudinal red stripes on the sides. The club emblem also appears at the bottom right.
The goalkeeper's clothing has the same design, but is made not in red, but in black. Another difference is the long sleeves and bright orange inserts. The stripes on the shoulders, the collar frame, the sides of the body and arms are a chaotic pattern of orange strokes on a black background.
The guest equipment turned out to be more pretentious and symbolic. Made in rich gray-green colors, it became the subject of general discussion. The fact is that in addition to the already traditional stripes on the shoulders, the manufacturer’s design sign and the club emblem, it has another characteristic feature. There is an unusual pattern throughout the T-shirt. It is almost completely identical to the pattern on the cover of the album of the British group Joy Division.
Reference. This illustration is nothing more than a graph of one hundred radio pulses detected in 1967. At that time, scientists were sure that they had received a signal from an alien civilization. It is not known for certain why the designers decided to convey this image to the football uniform. But she looks simply stunning.
"Real Madrid"
The prominent Spanish professional club also presented a home model for the 20-21 season. It already has a traditional white color.However, in the new year, dark blue and pink were chosen as additional shades. The name of the sponsoring organization and the Adidas design badge were painted blue, and the side stripes on the T-shirt and shorts were pink. The collar insert is a combination of these two shades.
The appearance of the visiting equipment of the Madrid club is very strict and restrained, even though the same pink was chosen as the base tone. However, this time all the stripes, emblems and labels are painted dark blue. An incredible combination of amazing shades makes the shape very bright and noticeable.
Barcelona
The famous American brand Nike has been a designer of sportswear and footwear and a technical sponsor for the Spanish Barça for many years now. This season, manufacturers decided to change the checkered pattern to a wide vertical stripe. The traditional blue-garnet color combination was left the same. Muted yellow was chosen as an additional shade. It appears as thin lines between wide stripes and also adorns the collar. The fabric is covered with a unique pattern that creates a voluminous effect. The club's distinctive sign is traditionally located on the chest. The blue shorts have red stripes on the sides and the club crest on the right leg.
Guest design looks more luxurious and formal. The combination of black and gold looks aristocratic and expensive. The entire set is made in a discreet black style, with gold inserts in the form of stripes on the collar and sleeves. In addition, the Catalan emblem, Nike branding and the name of the sponsoring organization are also painted in gold.
"Manchester city"
The Puma brand, the technical sponsor of the English club, presented its new kit. Inspired by the beauty of the city, this year fashion designers decided to share their emotions with the whole world.
The home version is made in a stunning blue color with a small white insert at the back of the collar. The front of the T-shirt is decorated with a very unusual mosaic pattern. According to the design engineers of the model, they associate this option with the incredible mosaic architecture and stunning landscapes of Manchester. They wanted to convey to the viewer the amazing atmosphere of this wonderful city.
All emblems and inscriptions are made in dark blue. The football club logo is made in traditional blue and white colors. Crisp white shorts and navy blue socks complement a sophisticated t-shirt. In general, the equipment looks very aesthetically pleasing.
The base color of the Manchester City away kit is black, with an incredible dark blue pattern on the front of the shirt. The couturier was inspired to create this particular design by the architecture of Castlefield, the most remarkable area of Manchester. The logo and inscriptions are presented in bronze tones. Compared to its predecessor, the new product looks more restrained, but still impeccable.
Chelsea
London Chelsea, sponsored by the legendary Nike, also presented their new product. This season, English football players will appear before fans in their classic blue sportswear. Dark blue inserts on the sides, collar and cuffs also did not surprise fans of the team. There is a unique chevron pattern throughout the T-shirt.Due to the fact that the club had a new sponsor, Three, its logo became white. The shorts also remained light blue with blue stripes. Snow-white leggings were decorated with a blue emblem.
Reference. The goalkeeper model has an identical design, but is made in green with black additions.
The guest version is presented in the same range. However, the basic blue was replaced by another, lighter shade. The title sponsor's logo is highlighted in black. The club's monochrome label looks very elegant.
