Nike has unveiled the 2015-16 Away Kit for the Portuguese National Team. The new shirt is predominantly black with a unique new chest band graphic consisting of electric green and vivid red light ray flashes, a nod to the team’s fast-paced style of play.
The green and red flashes draw inspiration from the Portuguese national flag and give the effect of having been painted on the black canvas of the away shirt. The two colors move in different directions, the red from the right and the green from the left.
Inside the back of the neck, a pennant tab features an armillary sphere, an ancient navigational device, to represent Portugal’s seafaring history. Celebrated Portuguese explorers used armillary spheres to travel around the globe. The tool has been a national symbol for more than 500 years and rests behind the Portuguese shield on the national flag.
The new away kit will be available in stores and at nike.com starting March 21. See more pictures in the gallery below.
