Eight years ago, Yohji Yamamoto flipped the switch on Real Madrid’s iconic white uniforms by designing an all-black kit with a hazy dragon graphic beneath the sponsor logo. Commissioning a proper fashion designer for jerseys was still rare at the time, and now the Japanese legend is returning to the club through his Y-3 Adidas line.
Real Madrid will be back in black, as ghostly white striping zigs and zags across the club’s fourth kit designed by Y-3. Adidas has even given up its logo placement, no small act, in favor of the sans-serif Y-3 in a move similar to the Nike-to-Jordan swap on PSG’s kits. Clashing from the clean look will be a bright pink kit for the goalkeeper, and the team will also rock a black warm up set with laser cut details made up by the Light Shell Anthem Jacket and Pants. Seeing the uniforms on pitch should be a menacing sight, adding to the intimidation that comes from playing against La Liga’s all-time winningest club and the current favorites to win this year’s title.
