PAOK Thessaloniki, a leading club in the Greek league, and Macron, the kit supplier for the double-headed eagle team, have unveiled the new match kits that will be worn throughout the coming season. Innovative graphics and designs, combined with high-performance, new and eco-sustainable fabrics, characterise the Italian brand’s latest collection for the Greek club, which strikes a perfect balance between tradition and stylistic innovation.

The ‘Home’ kit features PAOK’s classic black and white stripes, which in this case are embellished with tone-on-tone optical stripes along the outer edges of the main stripes. The shirt has a black-edged crew neck, with the black continuing across the shoulders down to the middle of the sleeves before giving way to white. The back of the neck is personalised with the club colours and the ‘PAOK FC’ lettering, which is also printed in white on the back of the collar. On the right side of the chest is the Macron Hero, the Italian brand’s logo, and on the left is the club crest. The shorts are white with a drawstring and black side panels; the socks are two-tone: black at the top and white from the middle down. The main fabric used for the ‘home’ shirt is Softlock with micromesh inserts.

The ‘Away’ version is all black and is made from Eco-Fabric – specifically Eco Softlock, a 100% polyester fabric made from recycled plastic. The shirt is characterised and embellished by a “duzzle camouflage” pattern (geometric shapes that break up and intersect with one another) in an embossed, all-over print, creating a modern and unique style. The Macron Hero and the PAOK FC logo are applied to the chest in silicone print; the PAOK FC lettering also appears on the shoulder panel just below the crew neck. The shorts and socks are also all-black.

A technical innovation in the ‘Third’ shirt, with the front panel made from Windlock, a new all-over jacquard fabric designed to enhance the garment’s breathability and lightness. The V-neck jersey is white with diagonal stripes of varying widths and shades of silver and grey, featuring a spray-painted effect. The Macron Hero logo, the club crest and the ‘PAOK FC’ lettering on the back of the neck are in silicone and silver. The shorts and socks are white.
