In a season that has been mostly a disappointment for Real Madrid fans, the club tried to make ammends with them by issuing a "retro" jersey.
Karim Benzema and Adidas, Real Madrid's kit sponsor, were in charge of unveiling the new design on social media. The brand posted the pic via Instagram, and the Frenchman went ahead to share it on his Twitter feed.
Have a look at the new kit, which will only be used for marketing purposes.

With Benzema being one of the most polarizing members of Real Madrid's squad, there was some backlash expected from fans. Have a look at some of their comments.

"This one's just as ugly as your performance for the past nine years."
Es igual de fea que tu juego en los últimos nueve años.
