Today New Balance officially revealed the new 2016\/17 FC Porto home kit.

The kit incorporates the famous stripe design from the victorious 1987 European Cup Final win and also includes a part of FC Porto\u00b4s anthem \u201c\u2018Porto! Porto! Porto!\u2019\u201d to the internal hem of the jersey. The iconic stripes feature gradient tones of blue, influenced by the depth of blue tiles that adorn the Est\u00e1dio do Drag\u00e3o stands.<\/p>\n

General Manager of New Balance Football, Richard Wright said: \u201cThis kit is the perfect blend of modern design and rich heritage. It has been engineered to fit the body\u2019s in-game movement perfectly, while better ventilation and body temperature regulation have been built into the NB Dry fabric. Players will not only feel the difference this makes, but are playing in a kit inspired by champions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The kit has been developed using NB Dry technology, a moisture wicking fabric that helps keep players cool and dry whilst wicking sweat from the body, making it fast drying. Laser cut and bonded eyelets, placed to the under arm, and an engineered stripe mesh to the side seams aid airflow around the body. Finishing off the design is a hex cornered collar, with a small contrast v-insert, club crest to the chest and the fans\u2019 message incorporated into the internal hem.<\/p>\n

The kit\u2019s shorts have been finished in Oporto blue, with white mesh stripes to the side seams while the socks are all white with gradient blue hoops housing the club\u2019s name. To offer added support to the ankle, the socks have built in comfort zones while the foot bed has been developed with polypropylene to help alleviate excess moisture when the foot makes contact with the boot.<\/p>\n
