Nike and Paris Saint-Germain Unveil New Away Kit for 2014-15 Season

Paris Saint-Germain will wear a new away kit this season capturing their modern spirit: stylish and cultured with flashes of brilliance.


The away shirt is white with a white stand collar trimmed in blue, white cuffs with blue trim and an oversized Paris Saint-German crest on the chest.


On the back of the neck is a small detail of red and blue stripes to represent Paris Saint-Germain’s home colors.


Inside the back of the neck is a white pennant tab with a blue border and the message: "Ici C’est Paris" (Here it’s Paris). 


The club’s core values are represented by their three colors: elegance (blue), passion (red) and respect (white).

The new away shorts are red, and the socks are white with a wide tonal stripe of chevrons on the back.

While this new kit features Nike’s signature design details, it also offers players the very latest in performance innovation, kit technology and environmental sustainability.

NIKE DRI-FIT TECHNOLOGY

Nike Dri-FIT technology draws sweat away from the body to the exterior of the shirts and shorts where it quickly evaporates. This helps players to perform at their best by remaining cooler, drier and more comfortable.

The laser-cut ventilation holes and mesh panels featured in key areas of the kit are designed to increase air circulation to the players’ bodies to  help regulate their temperatures throughout ninety minutes on the pitch.

The kits are made of a new dual-knit fabric consisting of both cotton and recycled polyester, which as well as removing sweat offers a softer feel and an overall more flattering appearance.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Nike continues to place environmental sustainability at the heart of their kits, which are again made from recycled polyester this year. These kits have been created to provide both unrivalled performance benefits and lower environmental impact.

The kits are made from recycled plastic water bottles. The shorts are 100 percent recycled polyester; the shirts are 96 percent recycled polyester, while the socks are 78 percent recycled polyester.

Each kit is made using an average of 18 recycled plastic bottles, and over the last four years Nike has diverted almost two billion of these bottles from landfills to produce their kits.
By using recycled polyester Nike is also reducing the energy consumed in the entire process by up to 30 percent. 

A NEW AND UPDATED PERFECT FIT

Nike took 3D body scans of many of the world’s leading footballers to create a kit with an updated and perfect new fit. The new fit allows the body to move more naturally within the kit, and so effortlessly improves players’ comfort and performance. 

The Nike Elite Match Fit Football Sock for 2014 also boasts a sleeker and updated design created especially for football.


Nike’s designers spoke to many of today’s elite players to gain an insight in to what they wanted from a sock during a game. There are now strategically cushioned zones to provide comfort and protection around the big toe and the anklebones where the majority of impact occurs, while arch support provides a firm foundation for the foot to help prevent slipping.
There is less material on the sock to enhance players’ touch, while flex grooves on the ankle and top of the foot help to prevent bunching.
