Tradition, mottos, symbols, and innovative, stylish graphics for the new Ferencváros TC shirts

Just a few days after announcing a new partnership between Macron and Ferencváros, the most successful club in Hungarian football, the new match kits that will be worn by the ‘Fradi’ during the upcoming season have also been unveiled. Designed to honour the history of a team which this year celebrates the 125th anniversary of its foundation, the shirts are enhanced with sophisticated and exclusive graphics, and convey a strong message of sustainability and respect for the environment. Like all the match kits produced by Macron for sponsored clubs, the Ferencváros kit is made exclusively from Eco Fabric, a polyester material derived entirely from recycled, post-consumer plastic.

The new Ferencváros 2024/25 Home shirt features the traditional vertical green and white stripes, which sport a distinctive 3D effect created by alternating different shades of green and grey-white hues. The mandarin collar in white knit fabric is trimmed with a fine red, white and green tricolour representing the Hungarian flag. The customised inside neck label features a green and gold background with the Ferencváros logo along with the Macron logo and the words ‘Designed in Bologna’, certifying that the garment is conceived, designed at developed at the Macron Campus. The Macron Hero appears in white on the chest, along with the club crest complete with two laurel branches and the number 125, commemorating the Hungarian club’s anniversary. The shirt bottom features a customised tape bearing the words “KÜZDENI MINDIG, FELADNI SOHA!” (Always fight, never give up!), in a repeat print, punctuated by the Ferencváros logo. The same motto is printed in green behind the neck. The basketball-style shorts are white, with green details on the leg bottoms.

The Away shirt features a black background with dye-sub, all-over graphics in green that mimic the light and shadow of a tropical jungle. The same motif is picked up on the crew neck and sleeve cuffs in jacquard fabric, which sport alternating green and black triangles reminiscent of the fangs of some wild beast. The inside neck label is customised just like the Home jersey, as is the shirt bottom bearing an inside tape with the words “KÜZDENI MINDIG, FELADNI SOHA!”. The Hungarian flag is printed behind the neck. The Away kit is completed by black shorts with green details on the leg bottoms, and black socks with a big upside-down triangle on the calf. Both the Home and Away shirts are made from Eco Exalock, a jacquard fabric characterised by a fine, all-over weave and a different ‘look and feel’ compared to conventional technical sportswear fabrics.

The Third shirt is gold in colour, with a polo shirt collar featuring fine black stripes which also appear on the sleeve cuffs. This shirt has an embossed all-over graphic comprised of a monogram of the three ‘Es’ present in the club logo, which are also a nod to the Budapest club’s motto: Erkölcs, Erő, Egyetértés meaning Morality, Strength, Understanding. The Macron Hero is printed in black on the right chest, while the Ferencváros crest is silicone-printed on the left, over the heart. Once again, the Hungarian national flag is printed behind the neck. The shorts and socks are black, with the socks sporting an upside-down triangle on the calf. The third shirt is made from Eco Piola, a very soft and stretchy fabric.
