Paris Saint- Germain is getting ready to try and win the UEFA Champions League once and for all, and in their attempt to do so, Les Parisiens have unveiled the kits they will wear during the competition.
This new joint-venture will see the French side wearing a new kit, inspired by the legendary basketball player Michael Jordan. The former player's brand, Jumpman, will provide home and away kits for the Ligue 1 champions to wear in the continental competition, as part of a deal with the club's main kit sponsor, Nike.
Team president Nasser Al-Khelaifi explained the reasons to unveil a new kit so close to the beginning of the competition.
"This is a new step in our project to turn PSG into one of the main sports brands in the world, capitalizing on our roots. This joint-venture is part of our deal with Nike, and it will allow us to offer our loyal fans the best style when wearing our colors," Al-Khelaifi said.
This is how the brand revealed its partnership with Les Parisiens.
Welcome to the family.
