Nike have unveiled Atlético Madrid's new aways kit for the 2019/20 season and it's everything as smart as you'd want from an alternative strip. Black from head to toe, the design is lit by dazzling bright red detailing, the vivid shade representing Atlético’s brilliant resurgence in the past decade.
Black kits always nail that mean-looking stealth vibe and the introduction of shocks of red give the Atléti away jersey a tasty little twist, helped by the fact that the sponsors, Nike Swoosh and club crest all mirror the red trim on the sleeves. A streak of red also appears on the reverse of the collar, while a Spanish flag inside the shirt adds a dose of national pride. The same red detailing appears on the shorts and socks, which incorporate the word "Atlético" midway up the shin.
“The away kit is very exciting; it’s clean and sharp with the black, but then you get these bursts of red, which really catch the eye," says midfielder Amanda Sampedro. "The story behind it is our story, the club’s story, and we will work hard to bring even more success to our supporters."
“Atlético have this really inspiring never-say-die attitude," says Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director. "They always fight back when faced with a challenge, and this kit pays tribute to the determination which has helped transform them into the elite club we see today." Nicely put, Pete.
