Atlético Ottawa’s Macron home jersey maintains the primary look of their parent club, Atlético Madrid who have been playing in red and white stripes since 1911. The stripes continue onto the sleeves, while the back is predominantly red. Inspired by the deep blue water of Ottawa’s Rideau Canal, Rideau blue complements the jersey’s classic collar, sleeve cuffs and sponsor logo. The Atlético emblem is a focal point highlighting the club’s national pride with structures synonymous with Ottawa and that Canadians would consider “emblematic” of their nation.
As part of the process, Macron designers worked in collaboration with the club during the design process developing high quality custom kits with unique looks to provide the needed professional technical features while enhancing them with exciting graphic designs.
“Our inaugural kits demonstrate the club’s on-field identity that is all about courage, never giving up, and playing fiercely committed football for one-another while off the field hard work, humility and family focus are core values,” said Club CEO, Fernando Lopez.
“Now more than ever, Ottawa is the city that unifies our country,” said Club President, Jeff Hunt. “With the arrival of Atlético in the capital and with an aim of inspiring and mobilizing the local soccer community, we are beyond excited and proud to launch these incredible jerseys. I am looking forward to seeing the red and white stripes all over our city.”
