Nike has released the design for French team PSG's new kit for the 2014-15 season. The highlight of this redesign is an eye-catching manipulation of the iconic stripe that runs down the center of the team's kit.
PSG's new kit will feature a thin red-and-white stripe that runs from the collar to the hem with a wider tonal and dark blue stripe apparent in the background. The stripe has a 360-degree appearance and also runs down the back of the shirt. The shirt is equipped with a V-neck collar and oversized club crest, which features a red shilhouette of the Eiffel Tower.
This new design is intended to capture the brilliance and promise of the current PSG team while also promoting the club's core values through the colors blue (representing elegance), red (representing passion) and white (representing respect).
