Notably, like its \u201989-90 predecessor, the shirt features the Nike Futura logo and a jacquard pattern rising from the fabric. For 2019-20, this takes the form of diagonal stripes with the word “Paris” subtly incorporated into the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collar is fastened by two special pearlescent buttons, which are inscribed with “Paris Saint-Germain \u2013 1989-2019” in tribute to PSG\u2019s relationship with Nike. The club crest is placed atop the color-blocked vertical stripe and stands tall thanks to an elevated trim. A small tricolor detail on the hem of each sleeve adds a dose of national pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Paris Saint-Germain change jersey is complemented by white shorts and socks, and the socks are enlivened by red and blue hoops from knee to ankle. Both the shorts and socks also feature the vintage Nike logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPSG\u2019s jersey archive is like a treasure trove for football fans,\u201d explains Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director. \u201cSo, the chance to bring back an all-time classic and put our stamp on it was a particularly exciting opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we saw how good the jacquard pattern and retro logo looked, it actually fed into our decision to use these as themes throughout our entire range of 2019-20 third kits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
