AC Milan Launch 2020/21 Puma Home Shirt Paying Tribute to the City

AC Milan have launched their new Puma home shirt for the 2020/21 season, a design that adds a modern twist to the club’s classic red and black stripes with an all-over pattern incorporated within.

The shirt pays tribute to the city of Milan and its rich history of culture, famed for creativity and stunning iconic architecture.

The featured patterns are a nod by the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II at the heart of the city. It is Italy’s oldest shopping mall and complements Milan’s past with a modern approach to design. The Galleria is described as offering a ‘glimpse into the Milanese soul’.

The architecture and patterns inside the famed building have directly inspired the detail in the shirt.

The new kit will be worn on the pitch for the first time on 2 August when Milan face Cagliari at San Siro in the final home game of the 2019/20 season.

“The AC Milan jersey is symbolic, representing the pride and belonging of millions of fans around the world,” said Casper Stylsvig, Chief Revenue Officer of AC Milan.

“The new design pays homage to tradition, culture and iconic architecture which is synonymous with our beautiful city of Milan. AC Milan is built on innovation, community, integrity and inclusiveness and PUMA have effectively captured these core values within this elegant new design.”

The new AC Milan Home kit will be available from 28 July at PUMA.com, PUMA stores, AC
Milan official stores, store.milan.com and at select retailers worldwide.
