Porto Unveil New Nike Home & Away Kits - Football Shirts

 

F.C. Porto have unveiled their new home and away kits as they celebrate their 120th anniversary next season. Nike have created two classy shirts for the Portuguese champions to go about maintaining their title in 2013/14, both of which feature gold accents.

The home shirt features blue and white stripes with a blue crossover V-neck collar with gold trim, and blue sleeves with a white cuff also trimmed in gold. The gold accents celebrate the club’s 120th anniversary and their successes over the years. Inside the back of the neck is a golden label showing the club’s original crest, first used in 1910, encircled by the years 1893 and 2013.

The new away kit is a piece of footballing beauty, it has a modern tonal blocking design featuring two shades of light blue. The away shirt has a dark blue crossover V-neck collar with gold trim, and a dark blue cuff on the sleeves also featuring gold trim. The away jersey, as with the home shirt, includes a gold label inside the back of the neck shouting out the years 1893 and 2013. The shorts are dark blue with a thin gold stripe along the side, and the socks are dark blue. We've got a lot of love for it, quality looking kit.
 

Tech wise the shirt features Nike's Dri-Fit technology, which is designed to draw sweat away from the body to keep players cool. The shirt is a more tailored and athletic fit as a result of Nike running a pioneering programme to create 3D body scans of some of the world's leading players, so if you're not a fan of tight fit clothing go a size up. Nike have also managed to shed the shirt down to just 150g, that's 23% lighter than previous kits.
