The 2014-15 season is well underway but it still served as a good enough time for adidas to unveil this year’s third kit for Spanish giants, Real Madrid.
The alternate uniform for this season is a return to black and will be the club’s UEFA Champions League kit. The all-black look was designed by Japanese design revolutionary and long term adidas collaborator Yohji Yamamoto, making this a collaboration between a global design legend and one of the biggest clubs in the world. 1500 jerseys will be available on selected retailers worldwide and will come in an exclusive packaging (1200 PCS in handmade commemorative box and 300 PCS with an exclusive dragon egg packaging). The exclusive jerseys themselves bear the Yohji Yamamoto’s personal signature and the number 3 representing the iconic three stripes of adidas.
According to the news release:
The design collaboration aims to unify the values of Madridismo focused on its two main elements, greatness and determination. Both elements are represented by two mythical beasts which originate from the Eastern culture and are interlaced on the front of the shirt.
Dragon king symbolizes the greatness, glory and power of the club. Dragon bird, an animal that is able to relive in the most hostile situations, represents the clubs resistance, determination and agility on its way to the victory
