Arriving as a tribute to AC Milan’s legacy as one of football’s most successful clubs while showcasing its modern and innovative spirit, PUMA present the Rossoneri’s 125th anniversary kit. The kit will debut on 8 December, when the women’s First Team wear it In the Milan derby.
The AC Milan 125th Anniversary Jersey was very specifically chosen to drop today, December 5th (numerically written as 12.5), and that is indicative of the whole design – meticulously thought over, with every detail contributing to what is a celebration of Rossoneri heritage and innovation, designed by fans and crafted for greatness. See, the design was voted on by loyal AC Milan supporters through an immersive competition, and so it embodies the timeless style and Milanismo spirit that the Club has championed since its founding in 1899. In homage to the Club’s founding year, only 1,899 units of this retro-style jersey will be available, each with a unique serial number and exclusive packaging.
The design journey began last December when AC Milan fans were invited to shape the Club’s legacy by choosing key elements of the 125th Anniversary jersey. Through the ‘Design our Jersey, Design our Legacy’ campaign and a bespoke platform, fans made design choices that reflect key moments in AC Milan’s storied history. So it comes with the broad stripe design first appeared on the Rossoneri jersey in the 1950s and later became synonymous with the Club’s most iconic international victories, especially from the late 1980s onward; the badge that pays homage to the Club’s very first official emblem, dating back to its foundation in 1899 as the Milan Football & Cricket Club; and the Diavoletto (Little Devil), an emblematic symbol of AC Milan during the 1980s, is printed inside the jersey, accompanied by the inscription AC Milan 125, marking this momentous milestone in the Club’s history.
In a nod to retro style, both the men’s and women’s First Teams will wear jerseys featuring only numbers on the back. Additionally, the jersey will be available exclusively in a long-sleeve version, including the ones worn by players on the pitch, and will not feature any sponsor logos, aside from the PUMA logo on the left shoulder, further enhancing its vintage appeal.
Franco Baresi, AC Milan Honorary Vice President, said: “This jersey is a reflection of AC Milan’s soul - its passion, its history, and the vision for its future. As someone who has proudly represented this Club for 50 years in many different roles, this milestone represents a moment of celebration and unity for the entire Rossonary family. The 125th Anniversary is a testament to the values and spirit that make AC Milan extraordinary, and this kit is a beautiful way to honour our journey while celebrating the unwavering bond with our fans.”
The 125th Anniversary kit will make its on-pitch debut on 8 December, when the women’s First Team wear it in the Milan derby. The men’s First Team will then wear the kit on 15 December, when they take on Genoa at the San Siro.
Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport, added: “The 125th Anniversary kit is not only a celebration of AC Milan’s heritage past but also a tribute to the unwavering passion of its fans. We’re honoured to have worked with the Rossoneri faithful to create something that’s not only a piece of football history but also designed for performance and pride.”
The AC Milan 125th Anniversary kit will be available from the AC Milan Official Stores, on store.milan.com, on PUMA.com, and select retailers worldwide from today, Thursday 5 December.
