Paris Saint-Germain and Nike Unveil Red 2014/15 Third Kit

French champions Paris Saint-Germain will play in an all-red, two-tone Nike third kit during the 2014-15 season. The kit celebrates one of the hues in the team’s famous trio of club colors.

Each of the team’s kits honors the club’s core values: a blue home kit for grandeur, a white away kit for respect, and to complete the set, a red third kit to reflect their passion and modern spirit. They will all be available at World Soccer Shop, Kitbag and Subside Sports .

The new third kit is entirely red, with two tones of the color to make a maximum impact on the pitch. The shirt, shorts and socks feature a lighter tone of red on the front, while a darker red covers the entire back.

The two tones are divided by blue stripes — honoring another one of Paris Saint-Germain’s home colors — which stretch along both sides of the kit from the collar, along both shoulders, down the shirt and shorts, and right down to the socks.

When the players are in motion, the stripes accentuate the contours of the players’ bodies to provide a true sense of speed.

“This half-and-half appearance is a traditional football design, but we added a new twist,” said Martin Lotti, Creative Director of Nike Football. “We wanted to utilize vibrant color so the kits look brighter at night against the grass and beneath floodlights. Under a dark sky, the kits will look electric, as if powered by batteries, and will provide an almost electric flash of color on the pitch.”

The shirt also boasts a classic design with a sophisticated polo neck collar and a three-button placket in the darker tone of red.

A white pennant tab with a blue border tucked inside the back of the neck displays the message, “Ici c’est Paris” (Here it’s Paris).

On the back of the shirt, the names and numbers are in a new italicized font in blue with a drop shadow red border to emphasize speed and dynamism.
