Inspired by the Rossoneri's seven Champions League titles, their iconic white kits and "That Milan Touch”, PUMA have launched the AC Milan 22/23 away shirt.
White kits are synonymous with success for AC Milan, remaining an iconic part of the Club's identity. So with a classic feel to the club’s new home shirt, it’s a return to white for the Rossoneri for 22/23, and a throwback to a fan favourite; the 1984/85 Away kit. The white kit with horizontal pinstripes made an instant impact that year. This kicked off a new era of dominance for the Club, as they went on to win five more European titles wearing a white kit in every single final.
The white base features seven red horizontal stripes across the middle of the jersey in a fresh new take on the 1984/85 Away jersey. The seven stripes represent AC Milan's seven Champions League triumphs, from Wembley Stadium in 1963 until Athens in 2007. The jersey features black and red trims on the sleeve cuffs and on the V-neck collar, along with the Milan coat of arms on the upper back.
Casper Stylsvig, AC Milan Chief Revenue Officer, commented: "AC Milan is a Club that always looks to future, whilst never forgetting its tradition and heritage. That is why we are particularly proud to unveil the new jersey today, which mixes AC Milan's great past with its innovative spirit and elegant style, hence creating a unique product that we are sure will resonate well with our over 500 million fans across the globe. It is a jersey rich in symbolism, with the white kit being an iconic part of who we are and the seven stripes representing the Club's incredible success in Europe."
AC Milan Honorary Vice-President Franco Baresi, who was the Rossoneri captain in the 1984/85 season, added: "Having worn the original 1984/85 Away kit, I truly love the inspiration behind the new Away jersey for next season. The white jersey always has a special meaning for all AC Milan fans as it is a symbol of the global success of our beloved Club."
"For this year's Away kit, we wanted to bring back an all-white kit, an iconic look for AC Milan Away kits that has been a staple of recent trophies winning seasons," said Marco Mueller, PUMA Senior Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel. "AC Milan is steeped in history, so we looked to the 1984/85 season Away kit as an inspiration. We wanted to bring a fresh energy to that kit and celebrate iconic all-white kits of the past."
