Real Madrid have unveiled their new away shirt for the 2013-14 season, and it’s a beautiful piece of fashion meets purpose.

The new Real Madrid shirt takes its inspiration from the successful early years of the club in the 30s, 40s and 50s. This celebrates the period that saw Los Blancos grow into, arguably, the most recognized club side in world football.

The combination of colors, royal blue with white, mimics some of the away kits worn during the illustrious period of the 30s, 40s and 50s. Refreshed this time with a touch of orange, creating a continuous link in style with the home shirt.

For the very first time this new kit uses a “melange” fabric which includes a cotton finish, helping to achieve the retro look that has been inspired by some of the club’s former jerseys whilst also featuring all of adidas’ latest technologies.
