Bale, Benzema & Marcelo Unveil Madrid's Orange Third Strip - Football Shirts

Gareth Bale helped team-mates Karim Benzema and Marcelo launch Real Madrid's new third kit today. The club unveiled their new-look strip for this season's Champions League campaign, taking the design in a completely new direction from last seasons green outfit. 
 

Real Madrid's 2013/14 home kit was the first to contain a hint of orange. Now though they've gone the whole hog with a daring head-to-toe covering. We say daring because of the colours strong association to Madrid's Catalan rivals. 



Trying to match the standards of this seasons stunning away strip was never going to be easy, and although it doesn't quite hit the same heights on first look, we can't deny it's a bit of a grower. The new-look uniform lines up alongside their traditional white home kit and stylish blue away kit.

The new third strip uses the same template as the home and away kits. Bright and bold in design with contrasting branding, adidas always give us something different with Madrid's third kits. The kit was officially launched by Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Marcelo today at the Torre Europa Building in Madrid.
