The Canvas of Milanese Style: 2024/25 Third Kit Design Story

The AC Milan 2024/25 Third Away Jersey by Puma is more than just a shirt; it’s a wearable piece of Milanese identity. While the home kit embodies the club’s core, and the away kit offers a fresh perspective, the third kit often serves as a canvas for bold expression and connection to the city’s broader culture. For the 2024/25 season, Puma has crafted a design that blends classic elegance with modern flair, reflecting Milan’s status as a global hub of fashion, art, and innovation. The choice of a clean base color, accented by the iconic Rossoneri red and black, creates a sophisticated look that transitions seamlessly from the pitch to the street. Subtle graphic elements woven into the fabric pay homage to the city’s architectural heritage or artistic movements, grounding the design in the rich history and vibrant present of Milan.

Visual Aesthetics & Details

Every element of this jersey is carefully considered:

• Color Palette: A crisp primary color provides a clean backdrop, allowing the striking red and black accents to stand out, symbolizing the club’s enduring colors.
• Graphic Pattern: A subtle, all-over graphic is integrated into the fabric, adding depth and texture without overwhelming the design. This pattern is often inspired by Milanese landmarks or cultural motifs.
• Club Crest: The legendary AC Milan crest is proudly displayed on the chest. On the Fan Version, this is typically an embroidered badge, offering a traditional feel and durability.
• Puma Logo: The Puma Cat logo is positioned opposite the club crest, also likely embroidered on the Fan Version, signifying the partnership between the global sports brand and the historic club.
• Sponsor Logos: Official sponsor logos are heat-applied, integrated seamlessly into the design.
• Player Customization: Features the name RAFAEL LEÃO and the number 10 on the back, applied with official league/cup style printing, allowing fans to wear the name of their favorite star.

Engineered for the Fans: Puma dryCELL Technology

The AC Milan 2024/25 Third Away Fan Jersey is built with fan comfort in mind, utilizing Puma’s proven dryCELL technology. This is the standard performance fabric used in Puma’s replica jerseys, designed to keep you comfortable whether you’re cheering from the stands, playing a casual game, or wearing it casually.

How dryCELL Keeps You Comfortable

Puma’s dryCELL technology is a moisture-wicking system engineered to draw sweat away from your skin and disperse it across the fabric surface for faster evaporation. This helps to:

• Keep you feeling dry and comfortable.
• Regulate your body temperature in warm conditions.
• Provide a lightweight and breathable feel.

While not as advanced as the technologies used in the player-issue versions, dryCELL offers reliable performance for everyday wear and moderate activity, ensuring you stay comfortable while showing your support.

Fan vs. Authentic: Choosing Your AC Milan Jersey

Understanding the difference between the Fan (Stadium) version and the Authentic (Match) version is crucial for making the right purchase. Here’s a detailed comparison:

Fit & Feel: Standard vs. Performance

• Fan Version (This Jersey): Features a Standard Fit. This cut is designed for comfort and a more relaxed feel, closer to a regular t-shirt fit. It offers more room in the chest, waist, and arms, making it ideal for casual wear, layering, and a wide range of body types.
• Authentic Version: Features an Athletic or Slim Fit. This cut is significantly more tapered and designed to fit close to the player’s body for optimal performance on the pitch. It’s tighter in the chest and arms and may feel restrictive for casual wear.

Fabric & Technology: Comfort vs. Elite Performance

• Fan Version (This Jersey): Uses Puma’s dryCELL fabric. This material is comfortable, durable, and effective at wicking moisture for everyday use and moderate activity. The fabric weave is typically slightly thicker and less textured than the authentic version.
• Authentic Version: Uses Puma’s top-tier performance fabrics like ULTRAWEAVE or ULTRA DRY. These materials are engineered for elite performance, featuring advanced moisture management, extreme lightness, and often a more textured or open-knit structure for maximum breathability and minimal cling.

Badge & Logo Application: Detail Differences

• Fan Version (This Jersey): The AC Milan crest and Puma logo are typically embroidered. This gives them a slightly raised, stitched appearance and a traditional feel.
• Authentic Version: The crest and logos are usually heat-applied (thermally pressed). This makes them lighter, flatter, and more integrated into the fabric, reducing potential irritation and weight for players.

Weight Perception

• Fan Version (This Jersey): Feels slightly heavier and more substantial due to the fabric weave and embroidered badges.
• Authentic Version: Feels noticeably lighter, designed to minimize weight for peak athletic performance.

Price & Purpose

• Fan Version (This Jersey): Generally more affordable, making it an excellent value for supporters who want to wear the team’s colors and support their favorite player in comfort. Ideal for match days in the stands, casual outings, or collecting.
• Authentic Version: More expensive, reflecting the advanced technology and construction designed for professional athletes. Best suited for serious players or collectors who prioritize the exact kit worn on the pitch.

Which Version is Right for You?

Choose the Fan Version if:

• You prioritize comfort for everyday wear, watching matches, or casual activities.
• You prefer a more relaxed, standard fit.
• You appreciate the traditional feel of embroidered badges.
• You want an official jersey at a more accessible price point.
• You want to proudly wear Rafael Leão’s name and number.

Choose the Authentic Version if:

• You are a competitive player seeking the lightest, most performance-oriented fabric and fit.
• You want the exact jersey worn by the pros on the pitch.
• Budget is not the primary concern.

Wear Your Rossoneri Pride

This AC Milan 2024/25 Third Away Fan Jersey with Rafael Leão’s name and number is your declaration of allegiance. Imagine:

• Joining fellow fans at the pub, the iconic red and black (or in this case, the striking third kit colors) uniting you as Leão makes a dazzling run.
• Heading to the San Siro or watching from home, feeling connected to the team and the energy of the match.
• Wearing it casually around town, subtly or boldly showcasing your support for one of Italy’s most storied clubs and its electrifying forward.
• Playing a pickup game, channeling the skill and flair of Leão while staying comfortable thanks to dryCELL technology.

Finding Your Perfect Fit

The Fan Version features a Standard Fit, designed to be comfortable and accommodating for most body types. It is less restrictive than the player-issue version. For the best fit, we highly recommend consulting the specific size chart provided for this product, as sizing can vary slightly between brands and versions. Consider how you prefer your jersey to fit – if you plan on layering or prefer a looser feel, your usual size should be appropriate. If you prefer a slightly closer fit without being tight, you might consider sizing down, but always check the measurements.

To ensure your AC Milan Leão #10 Third Away Fan Jersey stays in top condition season after season, follow these care instructions:

• Machine wash cold with like colors.
• Do not bleach.
• Tumble dry low or hang dry for best results.
• Cool iron if needed, but do not iron over logos, badges, or player printing.
• Do not dry clean.
• Wash and iron inside out.
