The 2010 Europa League Champions had a successful season in 2010, and are hoping that these new kits will be bringing them more success in the upcoming season. So, without further adieu, here are Athletico Madrid’s new home and away kits for the 10/11 season.
After having a successful season in Europe winning the Europa League and nearly winning the Copa Del Rey, Athetico Madrid are hoping that these new kits can bring them more success for the next season. The new home kit is a very similar template to Manchester United’s new home kit and Celtic’s home kit. The away kit is back to blue which Atletico Madrid fans have not seen since the 07/08 season.
Spec:
The new Nike kit has been designed to keep players drier, cooler and more comfortable, allowing them to maintain an optimum body temperature and perform at their best on the pitch.
Improved Nike Dri-FIT fabric, now 15 per cent lighter than previous Nike kit fabrications, helps keep players dry by drawing sweat to the outside of the garment where it evaporates.
Ventilation zones have been placed on each side of the shirt to enhance breathability, and are combined with a fabric that increases air flow by up to seven per cent compared to previous kits.
Air can now pass across a player’s whole torso, keeping him cooler. These ventilation zones consist of up to 200 tiny laser-cut holes which are backed by Nike’s innovative halo application. This treatment prevents ripping without reducing air flow.
The Nike kit shorts also have additional ventilation zones placed below the waistband and near the base of the spine, so this area prone to high sweat levels will now be significantly drier.
And the shirt’s new double-knit structure not only gives it a sleeker appearance but also boasts a new dynamic fit cut to follow the natural contours of the body while still allowing for maximum airflow and movement.
