New kit for the Madrid club

On the occasion of their 120th birthday, Los Colchoneros introduce a whole set of new kits inspired by the one worn by their first players in history.

This will be Nike Atlético Madrid 23-24 away kit serving as the club’s 2023-24 away shirt afterwards.

No more red colors, instead, blue and white and the original club badge will return on the new kit’s chest.

The new away jersey pays homage to the club’s first-ever football shirt that featured a half-and-half design. It combines royal blue on the right and white on the left with blue raglan-style sleeves.

The Madrid club was founded on 26 April 1903 as a branch of Athletic Bilbao, by a group of Basque students living in Madrid and mambers of the Biscayan team, who happened to also wear blue and white.
