These are the values characterizing both AC Milan and adidas. The jersey shows in a most eloquent way the strong relationship existing between adidas and AC Milan for over twenty years now, two entities merged together sharing deeply the same value of excellence in sports. We are very proud of this jersey and we'll be working closely together with adidas to support its launch worldwide"- said Jaap Kalma, Commercial Director at AC Milan.

For the second consecutive year, in line with the classic style of the jersey and to highlight the strong reference to tradition, there is the Cross of St. George, a historical element in the city of Milan Crest. The current Milan logo stands out, tone on tone, within the Cross.
The names and numbers of the players are written in Milan Type.
