Day 29
The white team will wear their new black shirt for the first time and the Catalans will wear the colors of the Catalan flag for the first time against their eternal rival
Real Madrid will debut its fourth kit of the season on Sunday in the classic that will be played at the Bernabéu, while Barcelona will wear the ‘senyera’ shirt. Real Madrid will wear their new black Adidas shirt against their eternal rival, which will go on sale online this Friday and in the official stores of the white club.
The black Real Madrid shirt, with the Y-3 logo on the chest next to the club’s crest, has been created as a result of Adidas’ collaboration with Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto. Real Madrid turns 120 and the collaboration between Yamamoto and Adidas reaches its 20th anniversary.
“A special collection to celebrate a special moment. Our 120th anniversary”, Real Madrid published this Thursday to announce the launch of its new kit through a video that is part of a campaign called ‘The Ceremony’, in which Karim Benzema, David Alaba, Marcelo Vieira and Ferland appear Mendy, in addition to the soccer players Misa Rodríguez and Caroline Moller and Iker Casillas. In the case of Real Madrid’s starting goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, he will wear pink against Barcelona.
“The association expands for a broader collection that channels a symbolic coalescence of dynamism and speed. Perfectly merging sports innovation with avant-garde aesthetics, ”explains the sports brand in a statement.
In an atypical classic with secondary shirts of both teams, the case of Barça, it will be the first time that the azulgrana faces Real Madrid with the shirt with the colors of the Catalan flag, which the culé team has already used on several occasions this season in the Champions League. In recent seasons it has been common to see Barça players wearing the yellow shirt with the four red bars against Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano, but until now the club had not decided to use the ‘senyera’ at the Bernabéu.
It has been its president, Joan Laporta, who has proposed that the team wear the ‘senyera’ at the Bernabéu. Last season, Barcelona did not play against Real Madric wearing the ‘senyera’ shirt at the Alfredo Di Stéfano, although they did wear one created for the occasion that mixed the colors of the Catalans with those of the Catalan flag.
