FC Porto 2015/16 New Balance Third Kit

Two-time European champions have released a white New Balance third kit for their 2015/16 Primeira Liga, Taça de Portugal and UEFA Champions League seasons.

The latest ‘Dragões’ (Dragons) shirt will be available at World Soccer Shop, Subside Sports, Kitbag and UK Soccer Shop along with their already launched 15/16 NB home and away jerseys.

According to New Balance Football” Introducing a sleek, minimal take on FC Porto colours, the kit achieves a modern look for the European stage. Set on crisp clean white, with atomic blue across the upper chest of the shirt and around the bottom of the shirt and cuffs.

A scooped crew neck completes the shirts design. The kit is finished with white shorts with the same blue coverseam stitch as the shirt running down each side, and white socks. The goalkeepers kit is prism violet with a white mesh insert to the crew neck collar.

New Balance’s NB Dry technology helps keep the body cool and dry whilst being active. The moisture-wicking fabric releases moisture away from the body, making it fast-drying and it is anatomically fitted to form around the player’s body shape for ease of movement.

NB Flex technology, consisting of fiber construction that provides enhanced stretch for a less restrictive garment, is incorporated into the goalkeeper kit to help with motion and fit.

Richard Wright, General Manager of New Balance Football, commented on the kit, “We wanted to achieve a beautiful, minimal and sleek design that incorporated the most advanced technology New Balance uses. FC Porto will wear this kit in Europe’s biggest competition, for that we wanted to design a kit that gives them the edge over their fierce European competitors and I believe we have done that both aesthetically and technically”.
