Athletic pay tribute to fans in new home top

Athletic presented their new home kit through their social media on Wednesday. It is made by New Balance and follows a classic pattern with a detail towards their fans.

According to the text that accompanies the images, this top "is inspired by an installation inside the Athletic Club Museum where the names of all the club’s official members throughout its history are written on a wall. The fans’ names are represented by a graphic pattern found inside the red stripes of [their] home kit’s iconic red and white stripes".

The top also incorporates a woven collar with details of the Basque Country's ikurriña (Basque flag) and carries an insignia with the lion of San Mamés, visible only on the inside.

The colour pattern is maintained with black shorts and socks, the latter two with red details and the name of the club written on them. The goalkeeper will also wear black with an abstract graphic added to the sleeves.
