Korea Away Replica 2012-13 - Nike Football Shirt

Nike continue their exciting replica roll out, launching the new South Korea 2012/13 Nike Away Kit. The latest design is a fresh update featuring new graphics that add an extra level of style to the jersey. Korea's new Away Kit is infused with powerful national symbols and showcases a modern and stylish design.

Korea prides itself on having a harmonious and united football team, whose greatest strength is the players' dependence on each other. In celebration of this quality, the kit takes inspiration from the Taegeuk -- the yin and yang circle from the national flag.





The new away shirt is white with a unique and twisting blue and red sash across the front, which represents the two intertwined colours of the Taegeuk. Inside the back of the neck is a Tuhon symbol written in traditional Korean calligraphy that signifies "Fighting Spirit" -- the quality that defines Team Korea's success.





Laser-cut ventilation on the shirt promotes localised cooling where athletes need it most to remain focused on the game. A new double knit structure and yarns also makes this kit 20% stronger, with no compromise to fit and feel and natural cotton added for comfort.



The fabric is also up to 23% lighter than the version four years ago. Embedded with Nike Dri-FIT technology, the kits help to regulate players' temperatures on the pitch by removing sweat from the body to keep them dry and cool faster than ever before.





In line with Nike s commitment to superior athletic performance and lower environmental impact, the fabric of the new kit s shorts is made with 100% recycled polyester, while the fabric of the shirts is made with at least 96% recycled polyester.  Each kit is made using an average of 13 recycled plastic bottles.

Nike have been on the money with each kit release of 2012 so far! The new South Korea 2012/13 Nike Away Kit is another fantastic design, and is expected to be worn for the first time on Feb 29. when the Koreans host Kuwait. Let us know what you think of Korea Republic's new kit. Share your thoughts online, on Twitter and on Facebook.
