Athens Kallithea FC prepares for the 2024/25 season with a new football kit defined by its subtle stripes and blue tonal palette. This is the season in which Ted Philipakos, the President and Creative Director of the club has stepped up to help form the stylish kit as the team rises.
Philipakos notes, “Last season’s home shirt is one of my favorites that we’ve worked on over the years, but we wanted to pivot to a less sporty and more elegant look this season. I think the shirt is a testament to the power of restraint and subtlety when it’s well considered, and how it can allow distinctive color to be the protagonist.” It is made with the help of Munich-based Bureau Borsche for the third year in a row. It features a traditional collar, a blue palette, and debossed lines for some texture.
