Everyone knows it hasn’t been an easy season for the Lions, but we need to look to the future, and the best way to do that is by unveiling Athletic Club de Bilbao’s new kits for next season.
Of course, the red-and-white stripes dominate this new Athletic Club jersey, but don’t let that obvious fact make you overlook the details it holds. We can see how a diagonal line emerges from the left shoulder, crosses the chest and ends at the ribs. This allows us to clearly distinguish the two shades of red, which are the main new feature of the Athletic Club de Bilbao jersey. Another new feature compared to last year’s jersey is the black trim on the sleeves, a detail that ties the jersey in with the rest of the kit and which undoubtedly makes this design one of the finest we can recall from Athletic Club. The inclusion of the New Balance logo in black on one of the white stripes rounds off a superb piece of work by the American brand.
Let’s move on to the Athletic Club’s 2021/22 away kit. In this case, we’ve been pleasantly surprised, as we were keen to see the Bilbao club break with convention and inject some colour into its image.
A striking colour pays tribute to the San Mamés stadium, its grandeur and the dynamism of its façade. Of course, just as with the home kit, the ikurriña will feature on the back of the collar, adding the finishing touch to a jersey that we’re sure we’ll be seeing a lot of this summer on the streets of Bilbao.
Technical specifications: Athletic Club jersey.
New Balance has incorporated the latest design technology into all its 21/22 jerseys to ensure superior performance. Developed using innovative NB Dry technology to help keep players cool and dry from the first match to the last.
These are Athletic Club de Bilbao’s new kits, combining tradition and innovation to tackle all the challenges this new season will bring.
Nineties nostalgia is back with a combination of the new adidas Predator boots and the signature 90s aesthetic of adidas EQT. These luxurious boots are going to be thoroughly analysed.
