The arrival of Lionel Messi has revolutionized PSG and, despite the fact that so far he has only accumulated a handful of minutes on the pitch, his figure has become a symbol of the team. For that reason, the Argentine is one of the great protagonists of the campaign that the Parisian club launched this Monday to present its third shirt for the 2021-2022 season, which has a very particular inspiration.
“From darkness springs light …” was the motto that the cast of the French capital chose to show the world their new clothing in which dark tones such as black and gray predominate. The team crest is in the center of the chest in red, while the sponsor logos appear in white. “It is inspired by the shirts that have made the club famous since the late 90s and that have remained in the memory of the Parisian fans,” said its creators.
The launch video has an urban aesthetic and has the presence of the great stars of the institution. Lionel Messi appears at the head, accompanied by Neymar, Kylian Mbappรฉ and Leandro Paredes, among others. Also participating are members of the PSG women’s team such as Jordyn Huitema, Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sakina Karchaoui.
โBecause of its sobriety, the 21/22 third shirt is the perfect setting to highlight the exploits of the Parisians, especially on the European scene where their entry into play is eagerly awaited by football lovers from all countries. This is how the ambition of the Parisian game is materialized, which is based on the demand for tactical rigor and the exceptional creativity of the stars that make up the team โ, stated from the club, in addition to highlighting that these new shirts are made from 100 polyester % recycled plastic bottles, which minimizes the impact on the environment. They also reported that these jackets pay homage to Greater Paris by displaying the department numbers.
The great unknown is when Messi can be seen on the court with this new shirt. The forward watched from the stands the PSG game last Saturday against Clermont because just a few hours earlier he had landed in France after playing the triple date of the South American Qualifiers with the Argentine team. The Flea is expected to be available to coach Mauricio Pochettino next Wednesday when the Parisian cast makes their Champions League debut against Bruges of Belgium as a visitor. (Infobae)
