The new AC Milan away jersey was so heavily anticipated by fans that the Adidas store on 610 Broadway in New York turned red and black to celebrate its introduction.
While red and black are AC Milan's primary colors, the away kit has generally been white and the 2014/15 season kit continues this tradition. However, the jersey is a bit more easy on the eye than past versions in that it has thin, beige horizontal stripes that give it a classy, minimalist appearance.
Another distinctive feature of the AC Milan away jersey for 2014/15 is the log of Casa Milan, the team's headquarters in Milan.
This jersey is the lightest Adidas offering ever thanks to the incorporation of AdiZero technology. The jersey is made of lightweight fabric that is highly breathable and offers enhanced freedom of movement.
