AC Milan and PUMA Unveil 125th Anniversary Kit, Celebrating Rossoneri Heritage with Fan-Voted Designs

Italian football club AC Milan and sportswear brand PUMA have joined forces to reveal the highly-anticipated 125th anniversary kit. The celebratory lineup of gear, voted on by loyal AC Milan fans through an immersive competition, pays homage to the team’s rich history and iconic legacy.

The honorary capsule collection includes the Authentic Player Jersey, Goalkeeper Jersey, Retro Football, and a special-edition Retro Style Jersey. But the standout piece is the vintage-inspired jersey, with only 1,899 units available to represent the club’s founding year. This limited edition jersey will also come in a long-sleeve version without any sponsor logos, except for PUMA’s patch.

Through the “Design Our Jersey, Design Our Legacy” campaign, AC Milan’s supporters were able to make design choices that pay tribute to the club’s past. The broad stripe design, first seen on the Rossoneri jersey in the 1950s, is a timeless motif that symbolizes the team’s greatest moments. The badge also honors AC Milan’s first emblem as the Milan Football & Cricket Club in 1899.

“This jersey is a reflection of AC Milan’s soul – its passion, its history, and its vision for the future,” said Franco Baresi, AC Milan’s honorary vice president. “As someone who has proudly represented this club for 50 years in various roles, this milestone is a moment of celebration and unity for the entire Rossoneri family.”

The new kit will make its on-pitch debut on December 8, when the women’s first team takes on their rivals in the Derby. The men’s first team will then don the fresh designs on December 15 in a game against Genoa at the San Siro. Both teams will wear jerseys with only numbers, paying tribute to vintage styles.

“The 125th Anniversary is a testament to the values and spirit that make AC Milan extraordinary, and this kit is a beautiful way to honor our journey while celebrating the unwavering bond with our fans,” Baresi added.

The AC Milan 125th Anniversary kit is now available to shop online and at official AC Milan stores. Check out the designs in the gallery above.
