Real Madrid wears white. A regal new jersey for the home side at the Bernabéu, trimmed with gold for 2012. Textured royal crest of the socios on the left chest, as since 1902, with its corona on top, as it first was in 1920, and raised gold stripes down the shoulders that stop short of the sleeve-hems for a La Liga patch on the right sleeve. Gold trim and piping accenture. Internal seams of soft nylon lock-stitches. A beautifully crafted shirt, with contoured construction that maximizes freedom of motion and the comfort of the athlete who wears it.
CLIMACOOL® polyester with a combination of performance fabrics, open mesh, and ventilation channels to keep cool air flowing in, and heat and sweat flowing out. Independent ventilating mesh panels at each flank. Open collar is flat-stitched up to where the first button would be.
Since the birth of Real Madrid in 1902, the club has amassed perhaps the world’s most enviable trophy collection and risen to the summit of club football. In all those years, it has never been relegated from the Spainish Primera.
Santiago Bernabéu's post-war appointment as Club President marked the beginning of a glorious era for the club when, on top of winning numerous titles, work began on their celebrated stadium. Players like Di Stéfano, Puskas, and Gento helped bring the club five consecutive European Cups with peerless flair in the late 50s, and eight of the ten La Liga titles of the ‘60s, including a five-peat. The next great golden era began with the team built around “La Quinta del Buitre,” the virtuostic quintet Butragueño, Míchel, Pardeza, Sanchís, and Vázquez, and culminated in three European Championships and the assemblage the Galácticos—perhaps the most famous side in the history of world football—as Figo, Zidane, Roberto Carlos, and later Ronaldo, Beckham, and others joined the likes of home-grown Madrileños Raúl, Guti, and Casillas. Looking back on all this, Real Madrid was FIFA’s choice for the prestigious-without-precedent, one-time award to the “Most Successful Club of the 20th Century.”
