PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY BREAKDOWN

This authentic player version jersey is engineered with PUMA’s advanced dryCELL technology, the same performance fabric trusted by professional athletes on the pitch. Unlike standard replicas, this technology actively works to regulate your body temperature during intense activity by:

• Moisture Management: Advanced wicking properties that pull sweat away from your skin to the fabric’s outer surface where it can evaporate quickly
• Strategic Ventilation: Engineered with precisely placed mesh zones to maximize airflow where athletes need it most
• Lightweight Construction: Premium 78 gsm dobby fabric that feels virtually weightless during movement
• Four-Way Stretch: Responsive fabric that moves with your body for unrestricted motion in any direction

The jersey is crafted from 100% recycled polyester (excluding trims and decorations), aligning with PUMA’s sustainability commitments while maintaining elite performance standards.

AUTHENTIC VS. REPLICA: THE DEFINITIVE COMPARISON

As a Replica product, this jersey offers fans an accessible way to show their support while incorporating many authentic elements. However, it’s important to understand the key differences between authentic player versions and standard fan replicas:

Fit & Construction Differences

• Authentic Player Version: Performance fit designed to be more form-fitting and streamlined, with a slimmer cut through the torso and shorter sleeves for reduced drag during play
• Standard Replica: More relaxed, comfortable fit designed for everyday wear with slightly longer sleeves and a more generous cut through the body

Fabric Technology Comparison

• Authentic Player Version: Ultra-lightweight 78 gsm dobby fabric with advanced moisture management and enhanced breathability through engineered ventilation zones
• Standard Replica: Slightly heavier fabric that prioritizes durability and comfort for daily wear while still offering basic moisture-wicking properties

Weight & Performance Feel

• Authentic Player Version: Noticeably lighter with an almost weightless feel against the skin, designed to minimize distractions during high-intensity movement
• Standard Replica: Standard weight that balances durability with comfort, suitable for casual wear and light activity

Badge & Logo Application

• Authentic Player Version: Heat-pressed or lightweight embroidered badges and logos designed to reduce weight and eliminate irritation points
• Standard Replica: Traditional embroidered or appliqué badges that prioritize visual appeal and durability over weight considerations

Price Point & Recommended Use

• Authentic Player Version: Premium price point reflecting the advanced technology and exact specifications used by professional players; ideal for serious players, collectors, and fans seeking the ultimate match-day experience
• Standard Replica: More accessible price point designed for everyday fans; perfect for game day viewing, casual wear, and showing team support in comfort

WEAR IT YOUR WAY

• Collector’s Treasure: The authentic player version with Leão’s iconic number 10 represents a premium addition to any AC Milan collection, capturing a specific moment in the club’s storied history

Sizing & Fit Guide

The authentic player version features a performance fit that runs slimmer than standard replicas. For a comfortable wearing experience:

• If you prefer a closer, on-pitch authentic fit: Select your regular size
• If you prefer a more relaxed fit: Consider sizing up one size
• Refer to the detailed size chart for specific measurements

The jersey features a slim, athletic cut through the torso with slightly shorter sleeves designed to enhance mobility during play.

Care Instructions for Longevity

• Machine wash cold with similar colors
• Use mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners
• Turn inside out before washing to protect graphics and numbers
• Air dry or tumble dry on low heat
• Do not iron directly over printed elements or badges
• Do not dry clean

Following these care instructions will help preserve the jersey’s performance properties and visual appeal for seasons to come.

• Decreased reliance on virgin polyester production
