Paris Saint-Germain have unveiled their home and away kits for the 2020/21 season in a style that marks the club’s 50th anniversary through a celebration of their beloved Hechter stripe.
That singular, broad red stripe, imagined by former club president Daniel Hechter, is at the heart of PSG’s identity, having featured on so many classic jerseys during the past 50 years, and now it's back for a modernised takes on the home and away jerseys to continue a legendary series.
The stripe first appeared in 1973, three years after the formation of the club. The 2020-21 home shirt draws inspiration from that historic early design, and features a thick vertical red stripe outlined in white against a blue background. In a further nod to the ’70s kits, there is an overlapping V-neck collar and ribbed trim on the sleeves.
The phrase, "Paris Saint-Germain 50 Ans," appears on blue tape running down the sides of the torso, while a small Tricolour on the hem of the jersey provides an additional elegant detail. Blue shorts and socks complete the head-to-toe look.
The new away also features a prominent Hechter stripe, this time taking its cue from the white kit worn in the 1995-96 season when Les Parisiens captured a first major European title.
The PSG 20/21 home & away shirts are available at prodirectsoccer.com from July 27.
