Sophisticated graphics and design for the new Apoel FC shirts
- APOEL FC, a team that plays in the top division of the Cypriot league, and Macron have presented the new Home and Away shirts that the Yellow and Blues will wear during the next football season.
The new Home jersey features a crewneck collar with a blue and white knitted trim. The club’s traditional yellow and blue colours are present on the front of the shirt in vertical bands enhanced by geometric graphics in tone on tone sublimation print with a pixelated and slightly shaded effect. The design also continues on the sleeves with blue borders. The backneck is customised with a label on a blue background with a detail of the team logo in the background and the words ΑΠΟΕΛ EΛΛΉΝΩΝ, while on the backneck the words APOEL FC are printed in blue. The Italian teamwear brand’s Macron Hero logo appears on the right breast, with the Cypriot club’s badge on the left. The shorts are blue with white drawstrings, and the yellow socks have two blue bands on the upper edge and one in the middle.
Designed and voted by APOEL fans from over 250 graphic proposals submitted by the fans themselves, the 'Away' version is white and features a V-neck with a light grey border. The sleeves have a border with three blue-yellow-blue lines and a wider orange one. On the central body of the shirt, in sublimatic print, there are thin diagonal bands, again in light grey, that from the right shoulder gradually fade towards the bottom, where, again in sublimatic print, the year of the club’s foundation, 1926, is inserted. A wide vertical band starts from the left shoulder, initially in blue that breaks on the chest at the height of the team badge and then continues in yellow with increasingly thin stripes that fade towards the bottom. The backneck is personalised as in the Home shirt and on the back neck, in yellow, is the inscription APOEL FC. The shorts are white with a blue drawstring, while the orange socks have three thin horizontal stripes on the upper edge, two blue ones with a yellow one on the inside.
The shirt is Slim Fit, the main fabric of the Home shirt is Softlock and the presence of micromesh inserts make the garments particularly light, ensuring perfect breathability.
