Home / Product Reviews / adidas AC Milan Home Jersey – 2011-2012 Review

 

AC Milan have finally come back to dethrone their city rivals Inter to reach the Serie A summit. This season has once again started brightly for the Rossoneri as they currently sit fourth, two places out of top spot. Now they are hoping to be crowned champions of Europe this season. In order to cheer them on, we have the AC Milan home jersey and it looks great.

Style
As always, the AC Milan jersey is made up of black and red stripes. However, this jersey throws some new aspects to make it stand out. The stripes of this jersey are smaller than in previous years to allow for a lot more of them. The sleeve cuffs as well as the collar are white to brighten up the dark red and black. There are also three white stripes that go down each sleeve to give some more color. Another nice feature is the subtle green and white stripes that go down the side of the jersey to accompany the red on the jersey to produce the colors of Italy’s flag. The colors of the flag are also on the back of the neck with “Associanzione Calcio Milan” heat pressed above it. The AC Milan crest is stitched on the left chest with a single gold star stitched above it. Their sponsor, “Fly Emirates” is heat pressed on the center of the jersey in white.

Feel
This jersey is made out of 100% polyester and is extremely soft and comfortable. As with all Adidas jerseys, this one features the climacool technology to keep you cool and comfortable. It provides great ventilation and moisture management to achieve this comfort. The sleeves by the three stripes have mesh as well as under the arms to allow for air movement. The collar is crew cut but not too constrictive around your neck so it will not make you uncomfortable. This soccer jersey runs pretty true to size and is extremely lightweight.

Overall
If you are an avid AC Milan supporter, this is the jersey for you. It provides a great new style that still keeps the classic colors looking great. The white around the collar and sleeves is a great addition because it does lighten up what could otherwise be a very dark jersey. This jersey is $74.99 which has come to be the average amount jerseys are running. For the great quality and comfort this jersey provides, it is definitely worth it and you will be extremely happy with this great looking jersey.
