The first revolution of this new-look jersey is there indeed, this small detail which is not one on the right at the level of the chest: the “Jumpman”, the logo of Jordan Brand which stylizes the greatest basketball player of all time.
This is not the only inspiration linked to Michael Jordan, the six-time NBA champion, in the development of the PSG outfit.
The new shorts of the Parisians will indeed look more like the shorts of a basketball player than that of a footballer: “The home jersey and the collection that accompanies it, borrow the iconic codes of basketball to transpose them into the world of soccer. On this occasion, the
diamond shorts
, the emblematic
parquetry shorts
, will be worn on the football pitches. These are also the legendary jerseys of Michael Jordan's team, the Chicago Bulls, which inspired the lines around the collar and sleeves, ”explained PSG and Jordan Brand in a press release.
If the Jordan myth is omnipresent, Paris is obviously not obscured: “The fleur de lys, one of the historical symbols of the city of Paris and of the club, is displayed in majesty on certain products of the collection, which accompany the Paris Saint-Germain 2021-22 home kit ", indicates its designers, who specify:" This collection includes a complete range of training and lifestyle products for children, women and men, including an Air Jordan 7 and a Jordan MA2.
