FC Viktoria Plzeň, a historic and successful club from the Czech Republic, and Macron, an international leader in the teamwear sector and the official kit supplier to the red-and-blues, who are celebrating 110 years of history this year, have unveiled the new 2021–2022 match kits, which will be worn throughout the coming competitive season, both domestically and internationally. Alongside the club’s colours, details and emblems, the kits also convey a message of sustainability and respect for the environment thanks to the Eco-Softlock fabric – 100% polyester made from recycled plastic and certified by the Global Recycled Standard – which has been used to produce the Czech club’s away shirt.

The new “Home” shirt is blue with a large vertical red stripe down the centre, inside which the words ‘110 LET FC VIKTORIA PLZEŇ’ (110 years of FC Viktoria Plzeň) are printed in a repeating pattern using sublimation printing. The red stripe is further enhanced by a blue graphic design with a ‘distressed’ effect to give it a vintage feel. The shirt has a crew neck with red trim, a colour also featured on the sleeve cuffs. The back of the neck is personalised with the club’s colours and the same inscription marking this important anniversary. The acronym FCVP (Football Club Viktoria Plzeň) is printed in white on the back of the neck. On the chest, the Macron Hero logo is featured on the right in silicone, whilst the team crest is on the left.

The new away kit mirrors the design of the ‘Home’ kit, but with a modern style, clean graphics and, above all, thanks to Eco-Softlock technology, it’s eco-friendly! Eco-Softlock is 100% made from recycled plastic and certified by the Global Recycled Standard. Thirteen half-litre plastic bottles are recycled to produce one shirt. Recycled PET polyester has the advantage of requiring less energy throughout the production process.

FC Viktoria Plzeň’s away kit; a crew-neck shirt with red trim. The main colour is navy blue and it features two vertical stripes on the front left – one red, one blue – both embellished with an embossed design, again with a slightly distressed effect. On the chest, in white and with a silicone print, is the Macron Hero logo – the Italian brand’s emblem – and to the left, above the two vertical stripes, is the team’s crest in negative.
