Relive the 2016/17 Season: The Iconic Purple Away Kit

Step back in time and celebrate a memorable era for Los Blancos with the Kids Official Real Madrid Away Kit from the 2016/17 season. This kit isn’t just clothing; it’s a piece of history, representing a season where Real Madrid achieved significant success, including winning La Undécima (their 11th Champions League title) and the La Liga title. The striking vibrant purple colorway, a less common but historically significant choice for the club, immediately set this kit apart, making it a fan favorite.

The design embodies Adidas’s classic aesthetic, featuring clean lines and the iconic three stripes in contrasting white running down the sides of both the jersey and the shorts. The Real Madrid crest is proudly displayed on the chest, alongside the Adidas logo and the sponsor’s mark, all rendered in crisp white to pop against the purple backdrop. This kit captures the spirit of a winning team and allows young fans to connect with the club’s recent glorious past.

Engineered for Comfort: Adidas Climalite Technology

Designed with young fans in mind, this Replica kit incorporates Adidas Climalite technology. In 2016/17, Climalite was Adidas’s standard fabric technology for fan-focused apparel, engineered to keep you dry and comfortable. How does it work? Climalite fabrics are constructed with fibers that wick sweat away from the skin’s surface, moving it to the outer layer of the fabric where it can evaporate quickly. This process helps regulate body temperature and prevents the fabric from feeling heavy or clingy during activity or while cheering on the team.

While not as advanced as the player-issue technologies of the time (like Adizero), Climalite provided excellent everyday comfort and moisture management, making this kit perfect for kids whether they’re playing football in the park, watching a match at home, or wearing it casually. The focus is on breathability and a soft feel against the skin, ensuring young supporters can wear their colors with pride and comfort throughout the day.

Replica vs. Authentic: Understanding Your Kit

It’s important to understand that this product is a Replica version of the 2016/17 Real Madrid Away Kit. Replica kits are specifically designed for fans and offer a balance of authentic look, comfort, and durability at a more accessible price point compared to the player-issue (Authentic/Adizero) versions of that era.

Key Differences (Replica vs. Authentic 2016/17):

• **Fit:** The Replica kit features a Standard Fit, which is more relaxed and comfortable for everyday wear. The Authentic version had a much tighter, athletic fit designed for performance.
• **Fabric Technology:** Replica used Climalite (focus on moisture-wicking comfort). Authentic used Adizero (lighter weight, more advanced breathability/cooling, designed for peak performance).
• **Texture & Feel:** Replica fabric is generally softer and slightly thicker. Authentic fabric was often lighter with a different texture optimized for minimal weight and maximum airflow.
• **Badges & Logos:** On the 2016/17 Replica, the Real Madrid crest and Adidas logo were typically embroidered, giving them a slightly raised, textured feel and enhanced durability for washing. On the Authentic version, these were usually heat-pressed for minimal weight and a seamless feel against the skin.
• **Construction:** Minor differences in seams and ventilation panels might exist, with the Authentic version having more performance-oriented construction details.
• **Price:** Replica kits are significantly more affordable than their Authentic counterparts.

Choosing the Replica means you get the official look and feel of the 2016/17 away kit in a comfortable, durable format perfect for young fans to wear anywhere. It’s ideal for showing support without compromising on comfort.
