Currently third in Liga and qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Atlético de Madrid are already displaying their new home jersey for the 2020/2021 season.
After Chelsea on Wednesday, Nike continues to release new jerseys before the end of the championships. This decision can be explained by the many stocks of jerseys that have accumulated in factories due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Even if Rojiblancos supporters are still not allowed to go to the Wanda Metropolitano, they can rejoice in the new tunic that the men of Diego Simeone will wear. Indeed, the 2020/2021 home jersey has a retro and elegant look with this navy blue polo collar accompanied by two white buttons, which can be reminiscent of the jersey of the 1996/1997 season, when “El Cholo” Simeone was still walking on the lawn from the Vicente Calderon stadium.
There are obviously red and white vertical stripes and a thin navy blue stripe on the ribs. The jersey sponsor remains “Plus500” while navy shorts and striped socks complete the new Atletico Madrid home kit.
Note that the Matelassiers had evolved with a similar jersey containing a blue polo collar during the 2014/2015 season, even if the one they will wear in 2020/2021 is more sophisticated and elegant. For the release of this new home shirt from Atletico Madrid,they will use it for training too.
