Embrace the Spirit: Design Story

The Atletico Madrid 2024/25 Third Away jersey by Nike introduces a fresh and bold aesthetic for the Rojiblancos. While specific design inspirations often draw from the club’s rich history, the vibrant energy of Madrid, or iconic moments, this season’s third kit is crafted to stand out. It represents the club’s ambition and willingness to embrace new directions while staying true to its passionate identity. The chosen color palette and graphic elements are carefully selected to resonate with the modern fan base while offering a distinct look for away fixtures and European nights.

Visual Elements & Craftsmanship

• Color Palette: The jersey features a striking primary color, often chosen to contrast with the home and away kits, ensuring visibility and a unique visual identity on the pitch and in the stands. Accent colors are strategically placed on the collar, cuffs, or side panels to complement the main shade and add dynamic flair.
• Graphic Details: Look closely for subtle patterns or textures integrated into the fabric. These might be abstract designs, geometric shapes, or even nods to architectural elements from Madrid, adding layers of visual interest and depth to the jersey’s surface.
• Club Crest: The iconic Atletico Madrid crest is proudly displayed on the chest. On the Replica (Fan) version, the crest is typically a high-quality embroidered patch, offering a traditional feel and durability.
• Nike Swoosh: The Nike logo, a symbol of athletic excellence, is positioned opposite the club crest, usually applied with heat transfer or embroidery, depending on the specific design execution for the season.
• Sponsor Logos: Main sponsor logos are heat-pressed onto the front, back, and sleeves (if applicable), integrated seamlessly into the design.

Engineered for the Fan: Nike Dri-FIT Technology

This jersey is built with the fan’s comfort in mind, utilizing Nike Dri-FIT technology. This innovative fabric technology is designed to keep you dry and comfortable, whether you’re cheering from the stands, playing a casual game, or wearing it casually.

How Dri-FIT Works:

• Dri-FIT is a high-performance, microfiber, polyester fabric that moves sweat away from the body and to the fabric surface, where it evaporates.
• This process helps you stay dry and comfortable, reducing the clingy, uncomfortable feeling of sweat-soaked fabric.
• Compared to traditional materials, Dri-FIT offers enhanced breathability and faster drying times, making it ideal for active wear and warm conditions.

Replica vs. Authentic: Understanding the Versions

It’s crucial to understand the difference between the Replica (Fan) version, like this one, and the Authentic (Match/Vapor) version worn by the players on the pitch. Both are official products, but they cater to different needs and preferences.

Detailed Comparison:

• Fit:
  • Replica (Fan): Features a Standard Fit. This is a more relaxed, comfortable cut designed for everyday wear. It offers more room in the chest and waist, making it suitable for layering or casual styling.
  • Authentic (Match): Has a Slim/Athletic Fit. This cut is much tighter and tapered, designed to fit close to the player’s body for performance, minimizing distractions and potential grabbing.
• Fabric Technology & Texture:
  • Replica (Fan): Uses Nike Dri-FIT. The fabric is comfortable, durable, and effective at wicking sweat for general use. It typically has a slightly softer feel.
  • Authentic (Match): Uses Nike Dri-FIT ADV. This is Nike’s most advanced technology, featuring targeted ventilation zones, often a lighter weight, and a more textured feel designed for peak athletic performance in high-intensity situations.
• Weight:
  • Replica (Fan): Slightly heavier and more substantial feel due to the fabric construction optimized for durability and comfort.
  • Authentic (Match): Noticeably lighter, engineered to reduce weight for optimal player performance.
• Breathability/Cooling:
  • Replica (Fan): Offers good breathability through the standard Dri-FIT fabric.
  • Authentic (Match): Features advanced mapping and laser-cut perforations in high-heat zones for superior airflow and cooling during intense activity.
• Badges & Logos:
  • Replica (Fan): Club crest and Nike logo are typically embroidered patches, providing a classic, tactile feel.
  • Authentic (Match): Club crest and Nike logo are usually heat-pressed with a thinner, lighter material, often with a slightly raised or textured finish, to reduce weight and potential irritation against the skin during play.
• Price:
  • Replica (Fan): More affordable, offering excellent value for official merchandise.
  • Authentic (Match): Significantly more expensive due to the advanced materials and construction.
• Recommended Use:
  • Replica (Fan): Ideal for watching matches, casual wear, showing support, light activity, and collecting. Offers the best balance of comfort, durability, and price for the average fan.
  • Authentic (Match): Best suited for competitive play, serious training, or collectors who want the exact shirt worn by the pros.

This product is a Replica (Fan Version), offering the look and feel of the official kit with a comfortable fit and durable construction perfect for everyday support.

Sustainable Craftsmanship

Nike is committed to sustainability. This jersey is made from 100% Recycled Polyester, sourced from recycled plastic bottles. This process helps reduce waste and lower carbon emissions, allowing you to support your club and the planet simultaneously.

Finding Your Perfect Fit

The Standard Fit of the Replica jersey is designed for comfort and a relaxed feel. It generally runs true to size for a casual fit. However, we highly recommend consulting the official Nike size chart to find your best fit, taking into account your chest and waist measurements. If you prefer a looser feel, consider sizing up; for a slightly closer fit while still being comfortable, your usual size should work.

• Machine wash cold with like colors.
• Use mild detergent.
• Wash and iron inside out.
• Do not bleach.
• Tumble dry low or hang to dry.
