Spartak Moscow 2013/14 Nike Home and Away Kits

FC Spartak Moscow has launched its Nike home and away kits for the 2013/14 Russian Premier League, Russian Cup and UEFA Europa League seasons.

According to Nike: The home shirt is traditional red and proudly features the white Spartak chest band used since 1934. Black accents can be seen on the trim on the white crossover V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs. Inside the back neck is a red bonded label featuring Spartacus’s warrior helmet with the club motto in Latin: “Fidelitas et virtus,” or “Fidelity and virtue.”

Originally founded in 1922, the club adopted the name Spartak Moscow in 1934, drawing inspiration from the Roman gladiator Spartacus who led an uprising of the oppressed against the Roman oligarchy.

The new home shorts are white with a thin black stripe on the side. The socks are red with a thin black band at the top and a white and black block on the back for greater visibility on the pitch.

Russian athletes, including tennis player Anastasia Myskina, hockey player Artem Voronin, along with DJ Fstep and 5sta Family singer Valeriy Efremov, joined Spartak players to introduce the new home kit and Inspire the team ahead of the season.

Spartak Moscow will play in their first predominantly black away kit this season. The shirt remains unmistakably Spartak, boasting the club’s famous chest band in red.

The shirt has a red crossover V-neck collar with black trim and a red band near the sleeve cuffs. As on the home shirt, the club’s signature gladiator helmet and moto in Latin appear inside the jersey’s neck.

The new away shorts are black with a thin red stripe on the side. The socks are black with a thin red band at the top and a red-and-white block on the back for improved visibility on the pitch.
