New Real Madrid away jersey

It’s common knowledge that if there’s one club that struggles to innovate with its home kit, it’s Real Madrid. It’s true that white leaves little room for embellishment, but even so, the Merengue club isn’t the most daring when it comes to adopting designs for its home kits. However, when it comes to Real Madrid’s away kit, things are a different story. For away matches, the Whites tend to let their hair down a bit more and offer us designs in a variety of colours, much to the chagrin of the more conservative section of the fanbase, who would be happy with a plain black jersey that could be used both for playing football and for going to the funeral parlour. 

Today we’re taking a look at Real Madrid’s away kit for the 21/22 season, and before we start analysing it, we'd like to congratulate adidas on this spectacular design. Let’s start by talking about the main colour, dark blue – a shade that might initially seem rather sombre, but when you see it on the whole jersey, it’s just a moment of calm in a rollercoaster ride.

Just like on Real Madrid’s home kit, orange makes a return in this away kit, but although it isn’t the main colour, this time it does take centre stage. By working with such a dark base colour, the simple act of making the three adidas stripes and the collar trim orange makes them stand out against the blue, proving that you don’t need to use a lot of colour on a jersey to make it the centre of attention. All this, together with the logo, the crest and the sponsor’s name in white, creates a sense of harmony within Real Madrid’s away kit that makes it one of the finest we’ve seen from the club in a long time. 

We’ve already discussed Real Madrid’s new away jersey, but not its most important detail. If we previously said that the club isn’t the most daring when it comes to designs, this time we need to keep quiet, sit back, and applaud. In a slightly lighter shade of blue across the entire jersey, we find a series of graffiti-style letters and symbols that connect this jersey—and the club—to the present day and the streets of Spain’s capital. We would never have imagined finding something like this on Real Madrid’s new jersey, but we are delighted that the club has finally moved away from stereotypes and decided to unveil a kit with personality, freshness and a modern feel. At the back of the neck, continuing with this typographic style, we can see how adidas has included the club’s name accompanied by a crown and various symbols in keeping with the font used. Once again, this gives Real Madrid’s away jersey an urban and casual feel, which undoubtedly places it at the forefront of La Liga team jerseys. 

In this section, practically nothing has changed, apart from a few minor details. HEAT.RDY will be the top-of-the-range technology, and it is this that the players will wear during matches – the Bavarian brand's premium jersey. This is the one designed to minimise friction and provide ventilation. Of course, with this top-of-the-range Real Madrid jersey, lightness and an optimal fit will be key to ensuring that you and the players perform in the best possible conditions. Not everything is top-of-the-range, and so adidas, as it does every year, offers the option to purchase the mid-range shirt featuring AEROREADY technology. Don’t let this fool you; this technology is designed to provide you with the best conditions for your matches, friendly games and even casual outings.

We’ve already shown you Real Madrid’s new away kit, which the team will wear when playing away from home. We don’t know whether it will bring them success or not, but what we do know is that it’s now available in the Fútbol Emotion store.
