The Aguilas’ new kits
feature Nike Football's latest design innovation and materials.
Club
América, also known as the Aguilas (“Eagles”), is one of Mexico’s oldest and
best supported club teams with 10 national titles to their name. The club
unveiled their new Nike kit at a recent game against Rayados of Monterrey at
Azteca Stadium on January 5.
Featuring
Nike’s latest design innovation and materials, the new kit combines rich club
insights through bold color details and insignia. A distinctive “V” shaped
jersey design features blue, yellow and red colors associated with the team and
a winning “victory” mentality. The crest badge on the chest features a striking
CA graphic and Swoosh. White shorts and socks complete the kit and give it a
clean and sophisticated look.
The
kits are made out of 23 percent lighter fabric with a 20 percent stronger knit
structure than Nike’s previous kits. Nike Dri-FIT technology wicks moisture
away from the skin to help keep athletes cool and dry on-pitch.
Ventilation
zones consist of a series of small laser-cut holes from the bottom of the arms
to the waist to help regulate the temperature and allow air to circulate to
keep the players comfortable.
The
kits have bonded re-enforced T-bar junctions that support critical seams on the
shirt and shorts and inner welded seams with a flat finish construction to
improve comfort and performance.
The
new home kit is made from Nike’s groundbreaking recycled polyester, making it
Nike’s most environmentally friendly kit ever produced. Each kit (shirt and shorts) is made using up
to 13 recycled plastic water bottles. This innovative manufacturing process
reduces energy consumption by up to 30 percent compared to manufacturing
traditional polyester.
The
new Club América jersey is available for sale from January 5 at local
retailers.
