Milan/New York, July 28, 2024 – AC Milan and PUMA today officially unveiled the Club’s Away kit for the 2024/25 season, which blends timeless sophistication with modern design to embody the essence of Milanism.
The new Away kit was previewed last night at Yankee Stadium during the friendly Milan played against Manchester City. In an epic first for Milan, the team wore the Home kit in the first half and then surprised the fans by switching to the new Away kit for the second half, marking its official debut on the pitch in a mode unprecedented for the Club.
Details make all the difference in AC Milan’s 24/25 Away kit. The classic white away kit, paired with a red and black polo collar and monochrome crest, embodies the spirit of success and elegance of a team that is synonymous with the Beautiful Game. A tonal pinstripe pattern then adds a historical touch, honoring AC Milan’s origins as Milan Football and Cricket Club.
Maikel Oettle, Chief Commercial Officer of AC Milan, commented, “We are proud to have unveiled our new Away kit for the 2024/25 season in such an innovative way by showing it for the first time on the field at Yankee Stadium. This mode is a testament to our desire to always push the boundaries of how we connect with our fans and communities. Not only does this kit represent the elegance and innovation that is the hallmark of our Club, it is also a testament to our ongoing commitment to our fans. Our partnership with PUMA allows us to honor our rich legacy while actively giving back to the community through initiatives like the ‘City and Milan for Change’ project, reinforcing the values that define our Club.”
Marco Mueller, Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel at PUMA, added, “This Away Kit is a testament to AC Milan’s legacy and the sophistication that the Club embodies. We wanted to create a shirt that not only paid homage to AC Milan’s rich history and origins, but also incorporated cutting-edge technology. We are proud to support AC Milan’s journey with a kit that combines elegance and innovation.”
The 24/25 Away kit is available in both Authentic and Replica versions. The Authentic jersey, worn by the players, is made with PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric, designed to reduce weight and friction, ensuring high-level performance. The Replica jersey offers the same striking design with a more relaxed fit, perfect for both matches and everyday wear. Both versions incorporate PUMA’s dryCELL technology for maximum breathability and maximum comfort for fans and players.
Reflecting PUMA’s commitment to sustainability, Replica jerseys are made with the RE:FIBRE initiative, which uses recycled textile waste to create new materials without compromising quality. Containing at least 95 percent recycled textile waste and other used polyester materials, this initiative is a significant step toward a more circular and sustainable production process for soccer jerseys.
The launch of the Away kit is part of a broader “City and Milan for Change” initiative, a collaboration between AC Milan and Manchester City, supported by PUMA. The initiative focuses on ‘social engagement with the New York community through various activities created as a side dish to last night’s match. One of the highlights was a special joint event in New Jersey on July 26, bringing together more than 60 boys and girls from the Success Academy Charter Schools Soccer Program, actively supported by Milan Foundation since 2021, and children from the City In The Community (CITC) Soccerbloc school program in Staten Island. The event featured legends from both clubs, making it a memorable occasion for all participants.
To mark the launch of the new Away kit, AC Milan and PUMA will hold an exclusive “House of Milan” event on July 28 in Manhattan. The event will bring together stakeholders and celebrities to celebrate the new kit.
AC Milan’s new Away kit is available now at PUMA Stores, PUMA.com, AC Milan Official Stores, store.milan.com, and selected retailers worldwide.
