Glorious

Leaked images of Atletico Madrid’s new third kit have emerged and it looks simply stunning.

Atletico’s alternative kit is set to combine the striped design of their home shirt with the colour scheme of their away strip and it’s a must-have for five-a-side.

The La Liga club will release the third kit for the 2018/19 season at some stage in September.

Reliable football strip website FootyHeadlines.com have provided us with the first glimpses of the jersey and shorts which will be sported by the likes of Antoine Griezmann and Diego Costa on rare occasions this term.

The third kit is set to feature a unique colour combination of dark teal, ice blue and orange while the stripes will display maps of Madrid’s gorgeous city.

All logos will be orange, including the back neck tape which features the image of a trident as a tribute to the city’s Neptune Fountain, the monument at which Atletico celebrate major victories.

The shorts will be ice blue with dark teal logos.

Atletico have won one and drawn one of their La Liga games so far in this campaign but got the season off to the perfect start by getting the better of arch-rivals Real Madrid in the Uefa Super Cup final.
