• V-Neck Collar: A simple yet elegant black V-neck collar provides a comfortable fit and a clean look, contrasting nicely with the striped body.
• Adidas Branding: The iconic Adidas three stripes run down the sleeves, a signature element of their kits from this period. The Adidas logo (performance logo) is typically embroidered on the chest.
• Club Crest: The AC Milan club badge is proudly displayed on the chest, usually embroidered, giving it a premium feel and showcasing your allegiance.
• Sponsor Logo: The era’s main sponsor logo is centrally placed, adding to the authentic look of the kit as it was worn on the pitch.

Every detail is designed to transport you back to the San Siro or the grand stages of Europe, capturing the essence of that legendary squad.

Technology & Comfort (Inspired by the Era)

While this is a modern replica, its construction is inspired by the performance wear of the 2006/07 season, which featured Adidas’s ClimaCool technology. The focus is on creating a comfortable, breathable jersey suitable for fans.

• Breathable Fabric: The polyester material is chosen for its ability to wick moisture away from the skin, helping you stay dry and comfortable whether you’re watching a match or playing your own.
• Lightweight Feel: Designed to be light and easy to wear, perfect for casual use or cheering from the stands.
• Durability: Constructed to withstand regular wear and washing, ensuring you can proudly display your support for years to come.

This replica jersey provides the look and feel of the classic kit with modern comfort standards, making it ideal for everyday wear.
