These are the new Crvena Zvezda kits 2017/18, Red Star Belgrade’s new home and away shirts for the upcoming Serbian Super Liga season. The new FKCZ jerseys have been made by Macron, who take over as uniform partners from Puma, and were officially unveiled on 25 June, 2017 by the club.
Red Star were defending champions for the 2016/17 Serbian league season. They finished top in the regular 16/17 season but eventually had to settle for second behind Partizan in the Championship playoff round. They will therefore be playing in the qualifying rounds of the Europa League, with Maltese outfit Floriana FC awaiting them on Thursday.
Red Star’s deal with Macron, according to Serbian media reports, is for a five year period and is worth 450,000 euros per season.
The home shirt remains red and white, with blue being the alternate strip. Gazprom are sponsors of both jerseys.
That sponsor integration on the home shirt doesn’t look too flash.
Indeed Sean- there are far more elegant ways to incorporate a sponsor on a patterned shirt. Still not as bad as Norwich’s halved shirt from a few seasons ago with the giant Aviva sponsor on the yellow patch eating into the green!
I think someone gave Macron the wrong details on how big the sponsor’s logo is.
The neckline on the home shirt is awful, nice away kit.
Regarding that huge sponsor box, Gazprom company actually gave exact dimensions to club how large it should be. They boosted a massive sponsorship deal worth 5-6 million euros approx per year. It ruins look of a really decent shirt, there are plenty of nice details which arent visible on this photo. There is also third white shirt.
